19 On September 5, 2025, Defendants moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint for lack 20 of subject-matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted 21 under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6). ECF No. 15. Plaintiff moved 22 to amend his complaint, which, under Rule 15(a)(1)(B), he may do once as a matter of 23 course within 21 days of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. ECF No. 13. Given that Plaintiff 24 is acting pro se and has not previously amended, the Court would also freely grant him 25 leave to amend under Rule 15(a)(2) as justice so requires. 26 Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend the Complaint. 27 ECF No. 13. By September 26, 2025, Plaintiff shall file his First Amended Complaint. 28 Any amended complaint must be complete in itself without reference to superseded | ||pleadings, and any claims not realleged in an amended complaint will be considered 2 || “waived.” See Lacey v. Maricopa Cnty.,

(9th Cir. 2012). The Court also 3 |}recommends that Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint be no more than 60 total pages. 4 ||Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the original complaint and Plaintiff's Motions to File 5 || Excess Pages in the original complaint are DENIED AS MOOT.
