GREGORY IFESINACHIEZEANI, Plaintiff, v. LAURA B. ZUCHOWSKI, Director of USCIS Vermont Service Center, Defendant.
ORDER DISMISSING AMENDED COMPLAINT AND DISMISSING CASE (Doc. 6)
GEOFFREY W. CRAWFORD, CHIEF JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
On May 5,2022, self-represented Plaintiff Gregory Ifesinachi Ezeani was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915; however, Plaintiff's Complaint was dismissed without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). (Doc. 4.) Plaintiff timely filed an Amended Complaint (Doc. 6), which the court now considers.
Dismissal is warranted for substantially the same reasons as explained in the May 5 Order. (See Doc. 4 at 3-5.) Although Plaintiff now seeks $10,000,000 in damages, the Amended Complaint does not state a Bivens claim against Defendant. See Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971); Ziglar v. Abbasi, 137 S.Ct. 1843, 1857 (2017) Because Plaintiff has not plausibly alleged a claim for relief, his Amended Complaint is DISMISSED. The court hereby certifies that under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) any appeal would not be taken in good faith.
SO ORDERED.
