WO

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

Shirley Bishop,

Plaintiff,

v. 

Frank Reyes, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CV-16-00009-PHX-ESW

ORDER 

Plaintiff has consented to the exercise of Magistrate Judge jurisdiction (Doc. 7). 

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint (Doc. 10). The Court, 

however, must screen the Amended Complaint (Doc. 10) before it is allowed to be 

served. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). As the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has explained, 

“section 1915(e) not only permits but requires a district court to dismiss an in forma 

pauperis complaint that fails to state a claim.” Lopez v. Smith, 203 F. 3d 1122, 1127 (9th 

Cir. 2000). 

In the Court’s Order (Doc. 9) filed on May 19, 2016, the Court identified the 

deficiencies of Plaintiff’s original Complaint (Doc. 1). The Court set forth the 

requirements of Rule 8, Fed. R. Civ. P., as well as the law involving the filing of a claim 

for relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court has reviewed Plaintiff’s Amended 

Complaint (Doc. 10). The Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to state a claim upon which 

relief may be granted. See Rizzo v. Goode, 423 U.S. 362, 371-72, 377 (1976). Plaintiff 

has failed to cure the deficiencies noted in the original Complaint. The Court will

dismiss Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint (Doc. 10) without prejudice. 

CONCLUSION 

For the reasons set forth above, 

IT IS ORDERED dismissing without prejudice Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint 

(Doc. 10). 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED directing the Clerk of Court to terminate this 

action. 

Dated this 30th day of June, 2016.
