IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CEDRIC GREENE,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1324 GEB GGH P

vs.

INMATE APPEALS BRANCH, et al., ORDER &

Defendants. FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

By order filed November 1, 2005, plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed and thirty

days leave to file an amended complaint was granted. When the thirty day period expired with

no response from plaintiff, this court recommended dismissal of this action by Findings and

Recommendations filed on January 11, 2006. See Local Rule 11-110; Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 

Within the objection period, plaintiff filed objections and a belated amended

complaint. The court will vacate the prior findings and recommendations; however, after

screening the amended complaint, the court finds that plaintiff has not cured the defects of his

original complaint as set forth in the November 1, 2005 Order, which order the court herein

incorporates by reference. If anything, the claims are even more speculative and vague than

those set forth in the original complaint.

Liberality in granting a plaintiff leave to amend “is subject to the qualification that

the amendment not cause undue prejudice to the defendant, is not sought in bad faith, and is not

futile.” Thornton v. McClatchy Newspapers, Inc., 261 F.3d 789, 799 (9 Cir. 2001), quoting th

Bowles v. Reade, 198 F.3d 752, 757 (9th Cir.1999). In this case, it does not appear that plaintiff

is able to cure the defects of his allegations and to grant plaintiff further leave to amend would be

futile. Therefore, the court will now recommend dismissal of this action for plaintiff’s repeated

failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Findings and Recommendations filed on 

January 11, 2006 are vacated.

IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that plaintiff’s amended complaint be

dismissed for failure to state a claim.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twenty

days after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned

“Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that

failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District

Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
