Is a prior pleading necessary to make plaintiff's amended complaint complete?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Humes v. Sacramento Cnty., No. 18-cv-0946 CKD P (E.D. Cal. 2018):
Finally, 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 is because, as a general rule, an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint. See Loux v. Rhay, 375
