Plaintiff,
v.
GENESSE COUNTY
COMMUNITY ACTION
RESOURCE DEPARTMENT,
et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 24-11190
Honorable Linda V. Parker
Magistrate Judge Elizabeth A. Stafford
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 42
U.S.C. § 1983. ECF No. 1. The Honorable Linda V. Parker referred the
case to the undersigned for all pretrial matters under 28 U.S.C. § 636(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. 	Id., PageID.292. Thus,
Hardy failed to include a proposed amended complaint with his filing, in
Case 2:24-cv-11190-LVP-EAS ECF No. 47, PageID.<pageID> Filed 10/30/25 Page 1 of 3

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., 209 F.3d 552, 561 (6th Cir. 2001). The Court
DENIES without prejudice Hardy’s motion for leave to file an amended
complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
