The following excerpt is from Jamison v. Progressive Ins., No. 2:15-cv-0848 KJN P (E.D. Cal. 2015):
In addition, plaintiff is informed that the court cannot refer to a prior pleading in order to make plaintiff's amended complaint complete. Local Rule 220 requires that an amended complaint be complete in itself without reference to any prior pleading. This requirement exists because, as a general rule, an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint. See Loux v.
