DANIELLE DIVINE,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-01537-RS 

ORDER ADOPTING IN PART 

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 

On March 21, 2019, the Magistrate Judge initially assigned to this case granted pro se 

plaintiff Danielle Divine’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Review of the complaint under 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) revealed that it consisted of “a long list of what appear to be random 

statements, pages of miscellaneous citations to laws, treaties, cases and other public documents, 

and numerous biblical quotations.” Report & Rec 1. Based on the absence of any discernable 

claim and the incoherence of the complaint, the Magistrate Judge recommends dismissal without 

leave to amend.

No objection to this recommendation has been received and the time for raising an 

objection has passed. Accordingly, the Report and Recommendation issued on March 25, 2019 is 

granted in part. Divine’s complaint is dismissed for failure to state a claim for relief. In light of 

Divine’s pro se status, however, she is granted leave to amend her complaint. Should she wish to 

submit an amended complaint, she must do so no later than May 24, 2019. Failure to submit an 

amended complaint by that date will result in dismissal of this action without further notice.

Divine may wish to seek assistance from the Legal Help Center, a free service offered by
