Defendants.

No. C-10-03906 JCS

ORDER DISMISSING AMENDED COMPLAINT

[Docket No. 9]

On November 19, 2010, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend,

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). In its Order, the Court stated that it was unable to discern any

legally cognizable claim in Plaintiff’s complaint, noting as well that: 1) to the extent that Plaintiff

was asserting a tort claim based on denial of worker’s compensation benefits, Plaintiff had not

alleged any basis for federal jurisdiction; and 2) the actions complained of appeared to have

occurred in 1995, indicating that Plaintiff’s claims were untimely. 

On December 17, 2010, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint alleging that he was wrongfully

terminated on the basis of an injury he suffered while on the job, in 1995. The amended complaint is

devoid of any allegations suggesting that Plaintiff’s claim is timely, and it is apparent from the face

of the complaint that it is not. Further, although Plaintiff asserts violations of the Due Process

Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, as well as the Eighth Amendment prohibition on

cruel and unusual punishment, there are no factual allegations suggesting that Plaintiff has stated any

such claim in his amended complaint. 

Therefore, the Court DISMISSES Plaintiff’s amended complaint with prejudice. The Clerk
