FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RATA BEY MENIOOH,

Plaintiff,

 v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ET AL.,

Defendants. /

No. C16-00715 CRB

ORDER DIRECTING COUNTY TO

RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

The County Defendants previously moved to dismiss this case. See generally County

Mot. (dkt. 17).1

 The Court held that the original complaint failed to state a claim upon which

relief could be granted as to the County Defendants, and directed Plaintiff Rata Bey Meniooh

to file an amended complaint, explaining that it would issue a further order upon amendment. 

See Order Dismissing (dkt. 52) at 2. Plaintiff has timely amended his complaint. See FAC. 

The First Amended Complaint brings thirteen claims, arising under state and federal

law. Id. ¶¶ 69–106. It also attaches eleven exhibits, some of which shed some light on

Plaintiff’s allegations—for example, they include a Complaint in Superior Court accusing

Plaintiff of willfully and unlawfully driving when his license was suspended or revoked, an

arrest warrant from the Arcata Police Department, and an inmate grievance form asserting
