UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VINTON FROST,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-05365-JD 

ORDER RE DISMISSAL

Re: Dkt. No. 20

In a prior order, the Court denied pro se plaintiff Vinton Frost’s application to proceed in 

forma pauperis, and dismissed the first amended complaint with leave to amend. Dkt. No. 10. At 

Frost’s request, the Court extended the deadline to amend by two months. Dkt. No. 16. Frost was 

still late in filing the amended complaint, Dkt. No. 20, but the Court will allow it in light of his pro 

se status. 

The new complaint does not resolve the problems that led to the dismissal of the prior 

complaint. Frost again focuses on three cases dismissed by other courts in this district and one 

pending appeal, including Frost v. Steyer, 16-cv-05883-RS (N.D. Cal. Oct. 11, 2016); Frost v. 

United States Department of Justice, 17-cv-01240-JCS (N.D. Cal. Mar. 9, 2017), appeal docketed, 

No. 19-15579 (9th Cir. Mar. 28, 2019); and Frost v. United States Department of Homeland 

Security, 18-cv-0871-HSG (N.D. Cal. Feb. 9, 2018). See Dkt. No. 20 at 3-5. Frost does not state 

any new facts, or explain how this case is meaningfully different, if at all, from these dismissed

cases. 

Consequently, despite the extra measure of consideration granted to Frost as a pro se 

litigant, the second amended complaint is dismissed with prejudice. See Nguyen Gardner v.
