UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GRACE L. SANDOVAL,

Plaintiff,

CIVIL CASE NO. 10CV233 DMS (WVG)

vs. ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS;

DENYING AS MOOT REQUEST

FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL;

DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITH

PREJUDICE

[Docs. 1-3]

ANDRES SANDOVAL,

Defendant.

Plaintiff Grace L. Sandoval, proceeding pro se, has filed a complaint (Doc. 1), along with a

Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (“IFP”) (Doc. 2) and a Request for Appointment Counsel

(Doc. 3). Based on the information provided by Plaintiff, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), the Court

GRANTS Plaintiff’s IFP motion, solely for the purpose of the motions currently before the Court. 

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. 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, 245 F.2d 1221, 1228 n.9 (9th Cir. 1984). As such, the Court

DENIES AS MOOT Plaintiff’s Request for Appointment of Counsel. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: February 2, 2010
