What is the test for screening an amended complaint?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Payne v. Long, No. 2:19-cv-2245 DB P (E.D. Cal. 2020):
Before the court had the opportunity to screen the original complaint (ECF No. 1), plaintiff filed an amended complaint (ECF No. 7). Because an amended complaint supersedes any prior complaint Ramirez v. County of San Bernardino, 806 F.3d 1002, 1008 (9th Cir. 2015), the court will screen the amended complaint.
