UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MOODY W. TANKSLEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERRIFF 

DEPT., et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-2281 CKD P

ORDER

Plaintiff is a former jail inmate proceeding without counsel. Plaintiff seeks relief pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and is proceeding in forma pauperis. This proceeding was referred to this 

court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Local Rule 302. Plaintiff’s amended complaint is 

now before the court. Plaintiff has consented to this court’s jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

636(c) and Local Rule 302. (ECF No. 4.)

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). 

Here, the court concludes that the amended complaint fails to cure the deficiencies of the original 

complaint (see ECF No. 5), fails to state a claim, and that further leave to amend would be futile.
