UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GRACE L. SANDOVAL,

Plaintiff,

Case No. 14cv2998 BTM(BLM)

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS,

DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITH

PREJUDICE, AND DENYING

MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF

COUNSEL AS MOOT

v.

GENTIVA HEALTH CARE,

Defendants.

On December 23, 2014, Plaintiff filed a Complaint in addition to a Motion

to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (“IFP Motion”) and a Request for Appointment

of Counsel. Based on the information provided by Plaintiff, pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a), the Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s IFP motion. The Court is

obligated to review a complaint filed IFP sua sponte and must dismiss the

action if it determines that the complaint is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state

a claim for relief. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). After careful review, the Court

finds that Plaintiff’s complaint is frivolous and void of any plausible claims for

relief. The Complaint is but one in a series of frivolous complaints filed by

Plaintiff. Because “it is absolutely clear that the deficiencies of the complaint

could not be cured by amendment,” the Court DISMISSES the complaint WITH

PREJUDICE. Franklin v. Murphy, 745 F.2d 1221, 1228 n.9 (9th Cir. 1984).
