LOUIS T. RECHT, et al.

Plaintiff,

 v.

DR. HANSON, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-02674 SI

ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT

WITH LEAVE TO AMEND

On May 21, 2007, plaintiff filed a complaint and a request to proceed in forma pauperis in this

Court. The Court DISMISSES without prejudice plaintiff’s complaint for reasons discussed below, and

DEFERS ruling on plaintiff’s in forma pauperis application.

In ruling on plaintiff’s IFP application, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), the Court must

review plaintiff’s complaint to ensure that cognizable claims are stated against the defendants. If the

Court determines that plaintiff has failed to state a claim, it must dismiss the action. See Cato v. United

States, 70 F.3d 1103, 1106 (9th Cir. 1995) (noting that a court may dismiss an action under Sec. 1915

if the “complaint neither identifies any constitutional or statutory right that was violated nor asserts any

basis for federal subject matter jurisdiction.”). Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8, a complaint

must contain: 1) a short and plain statement of the court's jurisdiction, 2) a short and plain statement of

the claim showing that the plaintiff is entitled to relief, and 3) a demand for judgment for the relief the

plaintiff seeks. Plaintiff has not met the basic requirements of Rule 8 in her complaint. 

Plaintiff has failed to comply with Rule 8, as it is unclear to the Court the bases for her claims

or this Court’s jurisdiction. Plaintiff’s complaint consists of a string of incomprehensible allegations

related to numerous world leaders, aliens, identity theft, cannibalism, and murder. The Court is unable

to find a single coherent claim in the complaint, and finds no reference to the only named defendant, Dr.

Hanson. 

However, the Court will grant plaintiff leave to amend her complaint. When amending her

complaint, plaintiff must comply with Rule 8. Plaintiff must file her First Amended Complaint on or

before August 17, 2007. If plaintiff fails to file her First Amended Complaint by that date, the matter

will be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
