9 10 AARON RAISER, Case No. EDCV 19-183-DSF (KK) 11 Plaintiff, 12 v. ORDER ACCEPTING AMENDED FINDINGS AND 13 CITY OF MURRIETA, ET AL., RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 14 Defendant(s). 15 16 17 Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, the Court has reviewed the First Amended 18 Complaint, the relevant records on file, and the Amended Report and 19 Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge. The Court has engaged in de 20 novo review of those portions of the Amended Report to which Plaintiff has 21 objected. The Court accepts the findings and recommendation of the Magistrate 22 Judge. 23 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that (1) Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss is 24 GRANTED; (2) Claims Two, Three, Five, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, and Twelve in 25 the First Amended Complaint are DISMISSED with prejudice and without leave to 26 amend; (3) all other claims in the First Amended Complaint are DISMISSED with 27 leave to amend; and (4) Plaintiff’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgmnet is DENIED 1 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT within twenty-one (21) days of the 2 service date of this Order, Plaintiff choose one of the following options: 3 1. Plaintiff may file a Second Amended Complaint to attempt to cure the 4 deficiencies discussed in the Amended Report and Recommendation regarding claims 5 that have not been dismissed with prejudice in this Order. The Clerk of Court is 6 directed to mail Plaintiff a blank Central District civil rights complaint form to use for 7 filing the Second Amended Complaint, which the Court encourages Plaintiff to use. 8 If Plaintiff chooses to file a Second Amended Complaint, he must clearly 9 designate on the face of the document that it is the “Second Amended Complaint,” it 10 must bear the docket number assigned to this case, and it must be retyped or 11 rewritten in its entirety, preferably on the court-approved form. Plaintiff shall not 12 include new defendants or allegations that are not reasonably related to the claims 13 asserted in the First Amended Complaint. In addition, the Second Amended 14 Complaint must be complete without reference to the First Amended Complaint, 15 Complaint, or any other pleading, attachment, or document. 16 An amended complaint supersedes the preceding complaint. Ferdik v. 17 Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1262 (9th Cir. 1992). After amendment, the Court will treat 18 all preceding complaints as nonexistent. Id. Any claim raised in a preceding 19 complaint and not dismissed with prejudice is waived if it is not raised again in 20 the Second Amended Complaint. Lacey v. Maricopa Cty., 693 F.3d 896, 928 (9th 21 Cir. 2012). 22 The Court advises Plaintiff that it generally will not be well-disposed toward 23 another dismissal with leave to amend if Plaintiff files a Second Amended Complaint 24 that continues to include claims on which relief cannot be granted. “[A] district 25 court’s discretion over amendments is especially broad ‘where the court has already 26 given a plaintiff one or more opportunities to amend his complaint.’” Ismail v. Cty. 27 of Orange, 917 F. Supp. 2d 1060, 1066 (C.D. Cal. 2012); see also Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1 | 1261. Thus, if Plaintiff files a Second Amended Complaint with claims on 2 | which relief cannot be granted, the Second Amended Complaint will be 3 | dismissed without leave to amend and with prejudice. 4 2. Alternatively, Plaintiff may voluntarily dismiss the action without 5 | prejudice, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41 (a). ‘The Clerk of Court is 6 | directed to mail Plaintiff a blank Notice of Dismissal Form, which the Court 7 | encourages Plaintiff to use if he chooses to voluntarily dismiss the action. 8 Plaintiff is explicitly cautioned that failure to timely respond to this 9 | Order will result in this action being dismissed for failure to state a claim, or 10 | for failure to prosecute and/or obey Court orders pursuant to Federal Rule of 11 | Civil Procedure 41(b). 12 13 IT IS SO ORDERED. 14 | DATED: July 13, 2020 / ) 15 Honorable Dale S. Fischer ————
