IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY L. ROBINSON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-2085 FCD EFB P

vs.

GRAY DAVIS, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

On June 14, 2006, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint for failure to comply with the

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The order dismissing the complaint found that plaintiff’s 147-

page complaint was so prolix and obscure that the court was unable to reasonably discharge its

responsibility under 28 § 1915(a), and specifically directed plaintiff to file an amended

complaint in accordance with the abovementioned directives, limited to 15 pages. The order 

explained the complaint’s deficiencies, gave plaintiff 30 days to file an amended complaint

correcting those deficiencies and warned plaintiff that failure to file an amended complaint that

complied with the requirements of the Civil Rights Act, the Federal Rules of Procedure, the

Local Rules of Practice, and the terms of that order would result in a recommendation that this

action be dismissed without prejudice. On July 20, 2007, plaintiff filed a similarly prolix and

obscure first-amended complaint consisting of approximately 273 numbered paragraphs within
