UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TANYA GRACE MCDANIEL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF 

JUSTICE, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-01664-JAM-AC 

ORDER 

On September 22, 2015, the court recommended that plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed 

with prejudice, finding its allegations to be so incredible that they need not be accepted as true. 

ECF No. 3. On October 9, 2015, plaintiff filed objections to the court’s recommendations. ECF 

No. 4. Then, on October 13, 2015, plaintiff filed an amended complaint and request for leave to 

amend. ECF Nos. 5, 6. The court has already recommended that plaintiff’s complaint be 

dismissed with prejudice. Accordingly, any request for leave to amend should have been 

submitted with plaintiff’s objections. Nevertheless, the court has reviewed plaintiff’s motion and 

proposed amended complaint. Plaintiff’s proposed amended complaint includes the same 

incredible allegations as her original complaint. Accordingly, the court will deny plaintiff’s 

motion for leave to amend because amendment would be futile. See Miller v. Rykoff-Sexton,

In accordance with the foregoing, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that plaintiff’s
