UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LONNIE GLENN SCHMIDT,

Plaintiff,

v.

TAN THINH, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-2868 CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a county jail inmate, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, who seeks relief 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 4, 2015, plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed with thirty 

days’ leave to amend. (ECF No. 8.) Plaintiff has filed an amended complaint, now before the 

court. (ECF No. 10.) Plaintiff has consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction over all 

proceedings in this action. (ECF No. 11.)

The court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief against a 

governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The 

court must dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if the prisoner has raised claims that are legally 

“frivolous or malicious,” that fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or that seek 

monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), (2).

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

the defects of the original complaint as discussed in the March 4, 2015 screening order. Because

it appears that another round of amendment would be futile, the undersigned will dismiss this

action for seeking monetary damages from defendants immune from such relief.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(2).

Dated: April 14, 2015
