October 17, 2023 Filing 18 DOCKET TEXT ORDER denying #16 Motion to Amend/Correct Complaint, as it is unclear what Plaintiff seeks to amend. If Plaintiff is seeking to amend his complaint, Plaintiff must file a proper motion to amend in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P 15(a)(2) and attach a complete proposed amended complaint. Further, Plaintiff is reminded that an amended complaint replaces the original complaint and should be complete in itself. See Young v. City of Mount Ranier, 238 F.3d 567, 572 (4th Cir. 2001) ("As a general rule, an amended pleading ordinarily supersedes the original and renders it of no legal effect.") (citation and internal quotation marks omitted); see also 6 Charles Alan Wright et al., Federal Practice and Procedure 1476 (3d ed. 2017) ("A pleading that has been amended under Rule 15(a) supersedes the pleading it modifies and remains in effect throughout the action unless it subsequently is modified. Once an amended pleading is interposed, the original pleading no longer performs any function in the case..."). Any amended complaint filed by Plaintiff is also subject to further initial review by the court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915A. This motion is denied without prejudice for Plaintiff to refile a proper motion and proposed amended complaint, if he so elects. Entered at the direction of Magistrate Judge Paige J. Gossett on 10/17/2023. (kkus, )
