UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIELLE DIVINE,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-01537-JCS 

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 

RE 1915 REVIEW

The Court has granted Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and therefore is 

required under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) to review the complaint and dismiss it if it is: (1) 

frivolous or malicious, (2) fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or (3) seeks 

monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. See Marks v. Solcum, 98 F.3d 

494, 495 (9th Cir. 1996). In reviewing a complaint, the Court need not accept allegations that are 

“fantastic or delusional,” “fanciful,” or “rise to the level of the irrational or wholly incredible.” 

Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 32–33 (1992).

The Complaint in this case consists 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. The undersigned can find no claims in the complaint (colorable or otherwise) 

or even any factual allegations that might give rise to a claim. Rather, the document that has been 

filed is unintelligible and it is highly unlikely that granting leave to amend will result in a 

comprehensible pleading. Because the undersigned does not have the authority to dismiss 

Plaintiff’s complaint without the consent of all parties, this case will be reassigned to a District 

Judge with the recommendation that the case be dismissed without leave to amend.

Plaintiff may file an objection to this recommendation within 14 days after being served
