UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ABDUL GILL, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-03015 KJM AC (PS) 

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

 Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se, and in forma pauperis. This proceeding was 

referred to this court by E.D. Cal. R. 302(c)(21). The federal in forma pauperis statute authorizes 

federal courts to dismiss a case “at any time,” if the action is legally “frivolous or malicious,” 

fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief from a defendant 

who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). 

 The court’s prior orders dismissed plaintiff’s complaints for suing immune defendants, 

and for failing to allege facts showing that he had suffered a legal wrong – for example, that his 

benefits were terminated without due process – or that he was entitled to any relief. See ECF 

Nos. 4 & 6. The Second Amended Complaint (“complaint”) (ECF No. 7), makes no attempt to 

remedy the defects identified in the previous complaints. Instead, it simply indicates that 

plaintiff’s medical benefits have been terminated, and that he is suffering as a consequence. 

Thus, the complaint once again fails to allege facts showing that plaintiff has suffered any legal

wrong that this federal court can redress. 

 The court is aware that figuring out how to properly present one’s grievances can be 

difficult. It may be that plaintiff would benefit by asking for assistance from a legal services 

organization such as Legal Services of Northern California, 515 - 12th Street, Sacramento, CA 

95814 (Tel: 916-551-2150), or the Voluntary Legal Services Program of Northern California 

(Client Help Line: 916-551-2102).1 However, plaintiff has, for the third time, failed to state a 

claim upon which relief can be granted. Accordingly, the complaint should be dismissed, but this 

time with prejudice. 

 In accordance with the above, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that plaintiff’s Second 

Amended Complaint be DISMISSED with prejudice. 

 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-one days 

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

with the court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings 

and Recommendations.” 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) 

DATED: April 8, 2015

 The court makes no representation regarding the ability of either organization to provide 

information or assistance.
