UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MONTE WEATHERINGTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

S. RIOS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-0906 AWI DLB PC

ORDER VACATING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATION REGARDING 

DISMISSAL OF ACTION FOR FAILURE TO 

STATE A CLAIM FOR RELIEF

Plaintiff Monte Weatherington, (“Plaintiff”), a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma 

pauperis, filed this civil rights action on June 12, 2014. On March 16, 2015, the Court screened the 

complaint and determined Plaintiff stated a cognizable claim under the Fourth Amendment against 

Defendant Arranquin. The Court found no other cognizable claims. Plaintiff was given the option to 

proceed on his cognizable claim or file a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). Plaintiff elected to file 

a FAC and did so on June 1, 2015.

On April 27, 2016, the Court screened the complaint and found it failed to state a cognizable 

claim for relief. Plaintiff was directed to file a Second Amended Complaint within thirty days. Over 

thirty days passed and Plaintiff failed to comply. Accordingly, on June 2, 2016, the Court issued a 

Findings and Recommendation which recommended the action be dismissed for failure to state a 

claim for relief.
