What is the test for adding to an amended complaint?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Harris v. New Rez. LLC, No. 2:20-cv-2340-KJM-CKD PS (E.D. Cal. 2021):

Plaintiff is cautioned that the court does not normally allow piecemeal amendments or piecemeal supplements to complaints. Because an amended complaint supersedes and replaces the original complaint, an amended complaint must stand on its own. See Loux v. Rhay, 375 F.2d
