UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

KEVIN OMAR HARPER,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 18-C-753

ERIC STEFONEK, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER

This matter comes before the court on pro se Plaintiff Kevin Harper’s motion to amend the
complaint. ECF No. 57. According to his motion, Harper seeks to add additional claims and
defendants to his complaint. In order to amend the complaint, Harper needs to attach an amended
complaint to his motion that includes all of the defendants as well as all of the claims Harper seeks
to bring against those defendants and the facts upon which those claims are based. Harper’s motion
fails to comply with the local rules of the district, which state that “[t]he proposed amended
pleadings must be filed as an attachment to the motion to amend.” Civil L.R. 15(b) (E.D. Wis.).
Harper did not attach his proposed amended complaint to his motion. Accordingly, Harper’s motion
will be denied, but without prejudice. Harper may promptly renew his motion and attach a proposed
amended complaint to his motion in compliance with the local rules.
SO ORDERED this 10th day of December, 2018.
