Plaintiff moves to amend her 22 complaint and to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF Nos. 17 & 19. Plaintiff’s motion to amend is 23 granted, but her motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied as unnecessary since the court 24 previously granted plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. See ECF No. 10. 25 Plaintiff is notified that her amended complaint may only include claims that are related to 26 those contained in her original complaint; unrelated claims against multiple defendants belong in 27 separate suits. She is also reminded that the amended complaint will supersede the current 28 1 | complaint. See Lacey v. Maricopa Cnty., 693 F. 3d 896, 907 n.1 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc). 2 | Accordingly, plaintiff's amended complaint must be complete on its face without reference to the 3 | prior pleading. See E.D.
