What is the test for making a Second Amended Complaint?

A Second Amended Complaint will supersede the previous complaints, Lacey v. Maricopa County, 693 F.3d 896, 915 (9th Cir. 2012), and therefore must include all claims and allegations including those previously found by the court to be sufficient to state a claim for relief. An Amended Complaint must be written or typed so that it so that it is complete in itself without reference to any earlier filed complaint. Local Rule 220.

A Second Amended Complaint must identify as defendants only persons who personally participated in a substantial way in depriving him 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).
