The following excerpt is from Patrick v. Hitchcock, No. 2:17-cv-1530-EFB P (E.D. Cal. 2018):
F.3d 1467, 1474 (9th Cir. 1997) (the "'amended complaint supersedes the original, the latter being treated thereafter as non-existent.'") (quoting Loux v. Rhay, 375 F.2d 55, 57 (9th Cir. 1967)). Plaintiff should also refrain from citing other cases he has filed in this or any other district for the purposes of contextualizing his claims.
