Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has paid the filing fee. Although plaintiff has paid the filing fee, the

court may screen complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).

Notwithstanding any filing fee, or any portion thereof, that may have been paid,

the court shall dismiss the case at any time if the court determines that–

(A) the allegation of poverty is untrue; or

(B) the action or appeal–

(i) is frivolous or malicious;

(ii) fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted; or

(iii) seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such

judgment.

Named as defendants are Tom Perbula, G. Stratton, Ana Palmer, John Dovey and

S. Hall. Plaintiff alleges that defendants have violated a settlement agreement he reached in

another action. Plaintiff alleges that the settlement agreement gave him the right to sue for noncompliance and breach of contract. In the instant action, plaintiff appears to seek enforcement of

the settlement agreement reached in the other action. 

This court has jurisdiction to consider plaintiff’s claim only if the action in which

the settlement agreement was reached was filed in this court and if the settlement agreement

provided that the court retained jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 3626(c)(2). Plaintiff does not identify

the court in which the settlement was reached. Nor does plaintiff discuss whether the terms of

the settlement agreement provided that the court was to retain jurisdiction. Accordingly, the

complaint is dismissed with leave to amend. Plaintiff should address these matters in the

amended complaint. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s complaint is dismissed

with thirty days to file an amended complaint; failure to file an amended complaint within that

time will result in a recommendation of dismissal of this action. 

DATED: 11/20/06
