STEVE GARRISON,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-08137-JD 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This is a civil rights case filed pro se by a detainee. In the initial review order the Court 

found that plaintiff had failed to state a claim and dismissed the complaint with leave to amend 

after discussing the deficiencies of the complaint. The time to amend has passed and plaintiff has 

not filed an amended complaint. To the extent plaintiff’s recent filings (Docket Nos. 8, 9) could 

be construed as an amendment, they are meritless and frivolous. This case is DISMISSED with 

prejudice as frivolous, meritless and for failure to state a claim as described in the prior order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 9, 2020
