UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KAMAL B. MAHDAVI,

Plaintiff,

Case No. 11cv2849 BTM(WMc)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS;

DISMISSING CASE FOR FAILURE

TO STATE A CLAIM

v.

THE DIRECTOR OF THE FEDERAL

BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, et al.

Defendants.

On December 7, 2011, Plaintiff filed a Complaint and a Motion to Proceed In Forma

Pauperis (“IFP”). For the reasons discussed below, the IFP Motion is granted, and the

Complaint is dismissed for failure to state a claim.

DISCUSSION

I. Motion to Proceed IFP

Upon review of Plaintiff’s affidavit in support of her IFP Motion, the Court finds that

Plaintiff has made a sufficient showing of inability to pay the filing fee required to prosecute

this action. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s IFP Motion is GRANTED. 

II. Failure to State a Claim

Although the Court will allow Plaintiff to proceed IFP, Plaintiff’s Complaint must be

dismissed for failure to state a claim. The Court is under a continuing duty to dismiss an IFP

case whenever the Court determines that the action “fails to state a claim on which relief may

be granted.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).

Plaintiff has named eighty defendants, including governmental agencies, judges,

police, hospitals, hotels, banks, grocery stores, libraries, and universities. His 62-page

complaint is a rambling account of various acts of malfeasance and conspiracies. Plaintiff

has failed to meet the pleading standards set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 8 and has failed to

allege facts supporting a plausible claim for relief. Therefore, Plaintiff’s Complaint is

DISMISSED.

CONCLUSION

For the reasons discussed above, Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis is

GRANTED, and Plaintiff’s Complaint is DISMISSED for failure to state a claim. The Court

GRANTS Plaintiff leave to file a First Amended Complaint. If Plaintiff chooses to file a First

Amended Complaint, he must do so on or before January 20, 2012. Failure to do so will

result in the closing of this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 15, 2011

United States District Judge
