RULING ON PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO AMEND [Doc. #4]
The plaintiff filed this civil rights action seeking damages from the defendants. On October 21, 2011, he filed a motion to amend his complaint because he neglected to include a prayer for relief in the original complaint. The original complaint includes a prayer for relief. Thus, amendment is not necessary.
In addition, instead of submitting a complete amended complaint with his motion, the plaintiff asks the court to append a page to the original complaint. Once a document has been filed, the court cannot alter that document. The plaintiff's motion to amend [Doc. #4] is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
