NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANKLIN H. WRIGHT,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN 

FRANCISCO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00283-JST 

ORDER DISMISSING AMENDED 

COMPLAINT UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 

1915(E)(2)(B)

Re: ECF No. 17

Pro se Plaintiff Franklin H. Wright previously filed with the Court a complaint, ECF No. 1, 

and an application to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 2. The Court granted Plaintiff’s motion 

to proceed in forma pauperis, but screened the complaint as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(e)(2)(B). ECF No. 15. In its order dismissing the complaint, the Court granted Plaintiff 21 

days to amend his complaint. Id. at 3.

 Plaintiff has now filed a First Amended Complaint. ECF No. 17. Having reviewed the 

First Amended Complaint, the Court still can discern no viable legal theory or ground for relief. 

Because Plaintiff’s complaint the lacks an arguable basis in law or fact, see Jackson v. Arizona, 

885 F.2d 639, 640-41 (9th Cir. 1999), superseded by statute on other grounds as stated in Lopez v. 

Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1130 (9th Cir.2000), the Court will now dismiss the Complaint with 

prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). 

The Court will also deny Plaintiff’s motion for permission for electronic case filing, ECF 

No. 3, and Plaintiff’s “ex parte motion to separate, create, and dismiss with leave to amend,” ECF 

No. 16, as moot.
