Amended Complaint For Violation Of Civil Rights (Prisoner)

AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS (PRISONER COMPLAINT). This form is used by incarcerated individuals to amend a previously filed federal civil rights lawsuit. This form is designed for pro se prisoner litigants bringing claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against state or local officials, or under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents against federal officials. It provides structured sections to identify the parties, establish jurisdiction, describe prisoner status, state factual allegations, explain each defendant’s personal involvement, and specify the constitutional rights allegedly violated. The form also includes mandatory sections addressing exhaustion of administrative remedies under the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), prior lawsuits, and requested relief. An amended complaint must be complete in itself and replaces earlier complaints.
