Opinion

Shirley Bishop, Plaintiff, v. Frank Reyes, et al., Defendants.


ORDER

Plaintiff has consented to the exercise of Magistrate Judge jurisdiction (Doc. 7). Pending before the Court is Plaintiff's Amended Complaint (Doc. 10). The Court, however, must screen the Amended Complaint (Doc. 10) before it is allowed to be served. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). As the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has explained, "section 1915(e) not only permits but requires a district court to dismiss an in forma pauperis complaint that fails to state a claim." Lopez v. Smith, 203 F. 3d 1122, 1127 (9th Cir. 2000).

In the Court's Order (Doc. 9) filed on May 19, 2016, the Court identified the deficiencies of Plaintiff's original Complaint (Doc. 1). The Court set forth the requirements of Rule 8, Fed. R. Civ. P., as well as the law involving the filing of a claim for relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's Amended Complaint (Doc. 10). The Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. See Rizzo v. Goode, 423 U.S. 362, 371-72, 377 (1976). Plaintiff has failed to cure the deficiencies noted in the original Complaint. The Court will dismiss Plaintiff's Amended Complaint (Doc. 10) without prejudice.

CONCLUSION

For the reasons set forth above,

IT IS ORDERED dismissing without prejudice Plaintiff's Amended Complaint (Doc. 10).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk of Court to terminate this action.

Dated this 30th day of June, 2016.
