UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GRACE L. SANDOVAL,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 09-CV-02768-IEG (WMc)

vs. ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

[Doc. No. 2];

DENYING AS MOOT REQUEST

FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL

[Doc. No. 3]; 

DISMISSING COMPLAINT WITH

PREJUDICE [Doc. No. 1].

AMERICREDIT FINANCIAL,

Defendant.

Plaintiff Grace L. Sandoval, proceeding pro se, has filed a complaint [Doc. No. 1], along

with a Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis (“IFP”) [Doc. No. 2] and a Request for Appointment

Counsel [Doc. No. 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).
