LANCE E. SPEAKE, #1032778 Plaintiff, v. HIGH DESERT STATE PRISON, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
This is a pro se civil rights complaint filed by a prisoner pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The complaint was screened, and the case was stayed for the purposes of settlement discussions (ECF #15). After defendants filed a status report on September 7, 2012 indicating that the parties had not reached a settlement agreement (ECF #17), the court adjudicated the application to proceed in forma pauperis and directed that the complaint be served (ECF #18). Defendants filed their answer on November 13, 2012 (ECF #26).
On September 18, 2012, plaintiff filed a motion to file an amended complaint (ECF #19). However, Local Rule 15-1(a) provides that "the moving party shall attach the proposed amended pleading to any motion to amend." Plaintiff has failed to attach his proposed amended complaint to his motion. Accordingly, his motion is denied without prejudice.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff's motion to file an amended complaint (ECF #19) is DENIED without prejudice.
