UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EUGENE ANGELO HARRIS JR.,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 17cv234-LAB (RBB)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

vs.

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO PROBATION

DEPARTMENT,

Defendant.

When a pro se litigant asks to proceed without payment of fees, the Court must

“dismiss the case at any time” when it determines the action is “frivolous.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915.

The in forma pauperis “statute accords judges not only the authority to dismiss a claim based

on an indisputably meritless legal theory, but also the unusual power to pierce the veil of the

complaint's factual allegations and dismiss those claims whose factual contentions are

clearly baseless.” Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 327 (1989). 

Harris asks the Court to terminate his probation and reprimand the Probation

Department for taking too long to help him obtain evaluation and treatment at the San Diego

Regional Center. Harris also adds, without any factual support, one sentence stating that

after he was released from prison, he was assaulted “while being in ‘state hired hands.’” The

Court finds the claim is frivolous and fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted.

The request to appoint counsel is denied and the case is dismissed without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 4, 2017
