UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION

GREGORY HARDY, Case No. 24-11190 Plaintiff, Honorable Linda V. Parker Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford v.

GENESSE COUNTY COMMUNITY ACTION RESOURCE DEPARTMENT, et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND (ECF NO. 43)

Plaintiff Gregory Hardy brings this pro se civil rights action under

. ECF No. 1. The Honorable Linda V. Parker referred the case to the undersigned for all pretrial matters under

(b)(1). ECF No. 7. Hardy moves for leave to file an amended complaint. ECF No. 43. Hardy references his proposed amended complaint as being attached as “Exhibit A,” but no exhibits were attached.

PageID.292. Thus, Hardy failed to include a proposed amended complaint with his filing, in violation of E.D. Mich. Local Rule 15.1, which states that “[a] party who moves to amend a pleading shall attach the proposed amended pleading to

the motion.” Though he is proceeding pro se, Hardy is required to follow the court’s procedural rules and assumes the risks and hazards that accompany self-representation. See Graham-Humphreys v. Memphis

Brooks Museum of Art, Inc.,

(6th Cir. 2001). The Court DENIES without prejudice Hardy’s motion for leave to file an amended complaint. IT IS SO ORDERED.
