Opinion

CIVIL ACTION 20-0149-CG-MU

05-27-2020

COREY L. DIAMOND, Plaintiff, v. ALABAMA, U.S., Defendant.


JUDGMENT

In accordance with the order entered on this date, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that Plaintiff's Complaint be DISMISSED without prejudice, prior to service of process, because Plaintiff's Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). It is further ORDERED that Plaintiff is extended leave to file an amended complaint by not later than June 10, 2020, see Butler v. Morgan, 562 F. App'x 832, 835 (11th Cir. 2014) (finding that a district court must grant a plaintiff at least one opportunity to amend his complaint before dismissal, even if the plaintiff never seeks leave to amend, if it appears that the filing of an amended complaint might cure noted deficiencies); however, Plaintiff is specifically cautioned that he must supply additional information to satisfy this Court that he has a plausible claim for relief against the State of Alabama.

DONE and ORDERED this 27th day of May, 2020.
