 On February 11, 2008, plaintiff filed a document styled, “First Amended Complaint,”

in which he further alleges that he is allergic to all psychotropic medications. But plaintiff does

not allege, as explained in the magistrate judge’s July 10, 2007, order, that defendant knows this

fact yet continues to prescribe them to plaintiff thereby causing plaintiff harm that is not

medically justifiable. Thus, construed as objections or as an amended complaint, the February

11, 2008, document does not justify rejecting the findings and recommendations.

The court has reviewed the file and finds the findings and recommendations to be

supported by the record and by the magistrate judge’s analysis. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY

ORDERED that: 

1. The findings and recommendations filed February 11, 2008, are adopted in

full; and

2. This action is dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915A; see also Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1128 (9th Cir. 2000) (indigent prisoner

proceeding without counsel must be given leave to file amended complaint unless the court can

rule out any possibility that the plaintiff could state a claim).
