United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL RODRIGUEZ,

Plaintiff

v.

CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO,

Defendant /

No. C-07-0103 MMC

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITH

LEAVE TO AMEND

Currently before the Court is plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis, filed

January 8, 2007, and his complaint, likewise filed January 8, 2007. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2), the Court must dismiss any complaint filed by a person seeking to proceed in

forma pauperis if the complaint fails to state a claim. Plaintiff’s complaint fails to state a

claim because plaintiff fails to allege any basis for federal jurisdiction over the instant

action, and fails to adequately set forth the factual and legal basis of his claims. See Fed.

R. Civ. P. 8(a) (requiring complaint to set forth “a short and plain statement of the grounds

upon which the court’s jurisdiction depends” and “a short and plain statement of the claim

showing that the pleader is entitled to relief”).

Accordingly, the complaint is hereby DISMISSED, with leave to file an amended

complaint no later than February 23, 2007. If plaintiff fails to timely file an amended

complaint, the above-titled action will be dismissed with prejudice. The Court will rule on
