Plaintiff,

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION TO REOPEN CASE AND

FILE FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT

 [Doc. No. 8]

 vs.

Defendants.

On May 29, 2008, Jeff Gough-Adshima (“Plaintiff”), a former state inmate and proceeding pro

se, filed a civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court issued an Order on July 3,

2008 granting Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) and sua sponte dismissed his

Complaint for failing to state a claim and for seeking money damages against immune Defendants. (See

July 3, 2008 Order at 6-7.) Plaintiff was given leave to file an Amended Complaint but never did so.

(Id.) On March 25, 2009, Plaintiff filed a “Motion to Vacate, Set Aside and Reopen the Civil

Proceedings” pursuant to FED.R.CIV.P. 60(b) [Doc. No. 5].
