UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GRACE L. SANDOVAL,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 09-CV-2897 - IEG (BLM)

ORDER:

vs. (1) GRANTING MOTION TO PROCEED

IN FORMA PAUPERIS;

(2) DENYING AS MOOT REQUEST FOR

APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL; and

(3) DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITH

PREJUDICE.

[Doc. Nos. 1, 2, 3]

MICHAEL MADANI,

Defendant.

Plaintiff Grace L. Sandoval, proceeding pro se, has filed a complaint [Doc. No. 1], along with

a Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (“IFP”) [Doc. No. 2] and a Request for Appointment of Counsel

[Doc. No. 3]. Based on the information provided by Plaintiff, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), the Court

GRANTS Plaintiff’s IFP motion, solely for the purpose of the motions currently before the Court. The

Court is obligated to review a complaint filed IFP sua sponte and must dismiss the action if it determines

that the complaint is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim for relief. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).

After careful review, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s complaint is frivolous and void of any plausible

claims for relief. Because “‘it is absolutely clear that the deficiencies of the complaint could not be cured

by amendment,’” the Court DISMISSES the complaint WITH PREJUDICE. Franklin v. Murphy, 745

F.2d 1221, 1228 n.9 (9th Cir. 1984) (citation omitted). As such, the Court DENIES AS MOOT

Plaintiff’s Request for Appointment of Counsel. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 5, 2010
