WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Ernest Bishop,

Plaintiff,

v. 

City of Bullhead City, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV-16-08142-PCT-ESW

ORDER 

On August 29, 2016, the Court screened pro se Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. 1) 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C.§ 1915(e)(2) and found that Plaintiff did not satisfy the pleading 

requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and failed to state a cause of action

(Doc. 9 at 2). The Court dismissed the Complaint without prejudice and granted Plaintiff 

leave to file an Amended Complaint to cure the deficiencies noted (Id. at 7). Plaintiff has 

filed an Amended Complaint (Doc. 12) and a second Application to Proceed in District 

Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (Doc. 11). Because a second Application is 

unnecessary, it will be stricken. The Court’s finding of indigence stands.

The Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to correct the deficiencies noted by the

Court regarding Plaintiff’s original Complaint in Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint. The 

substance of Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint is duplicative of Plaintiff’s original 

Complaint. Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint does not satisfy the pleading requirements of

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and fails to state a cause of action for all the reasons

set forth in the Court’s Order filed August 29, 2016 (Doc. 9).
