UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WALTER L. COLE,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. REAMES, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-2570 CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, seeks relief pursuant to 

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 15, 2016, the complaint was dismissed, and plaintiff was 

granted thirty days’ leave to amend. (ECF No. 5.) Plaintiff’s amended complaint is now before 

the court for screening. (ECF No. 8.) See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). Plaintiff has consented to 

Magistrate Judge jurisdiction over all proceedings this action. (ECF No. 4.)

Having reviewed the amended complaint, the undersigned concludes that it fails to cure 

the defects of the original complaint as discussed in the December 15, 2016 screening order, or 

state a cognizable claim against any defendant. Because it appears that another round of 

amendment would be futile, the undersigned will dismiss this action without prejudice.
