UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TYRONE MCGEE,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROBERT A. MCDONALD,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-03843-JD 

ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT 

WITH LEAVE TO AMEND

Re: Dkt. No. 1

Pro se plaintiff Robert McDonald filed a form complaint in this matter on July 8, 2016, 

along with an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Dkt. Nos. 1, 3. The Court sua sponte 

dismisses the complaint with leave to amend.

In reviewing an application to proceed in forma pauperis, courts may dismiss a case sua 

sponte if the party applying for in forma pauperis status files a frivolous action, fails to state a 

claim on which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune 

from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). To make the determination under 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(e)(2)(B), courts assess whether there is an arguable factual and legal basis for the asserted 

wrong, “however inartfully pleaded.” Franklin v. Murphy, 745 F.2d 1221, 1227–28 (9th Cir. 

1984) (internal quote omitted); see also Williams v. Madrid, 609 F. App’x 421 (9th Cir. 2015).

The complaint is dismissed because McGee has filed a blank form complaint with portions 

of an administrative record attached. It states no claims at all and gives the Court no information 

about the legal or factual basis for the case. 

McGee has until September 16, 2016 to file an amended complaint that complies with the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. McGee may wish to consult a manual the court has adopted to 

assist pro se litigants in presenting their case. This manual, and other free information, is available 

online at: http://cand.uscourts.gov/proselitigants. If McGee fails to file a complaint pursuant to
