What is the test for an amended complaint in a civil case brought by a plaintiff who alleges that she was subjected to a tortfeasor's abuse?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Howell v. McKelvey, No. 2:20-cv0208 KJN P (E.D. Cal. 2020):

Any amended complaint must show the federal court has jurisdiction, the action is brought in the right place, and plaintiff is entitled to relief if plaintiff's allegations are true. It must contain a request for particular relief. Plaintiff must identify as a defendant only persons who personally participated in a substantial way in depriving plaintiff of a federal constitutional right. Johnson v. Duffy, 588 F.2d 740, 743 (9th Cir. 1978) (a person subjects another to the deprivation of a constitutional right if he does an act, participates in another's act or omits to perform an act he is legally required to do that causes the alleged deprivation).
