Matched Legal Cases: ['§ 1915', '§ 1915', '§ 2', '§ 2102', '§ 2', '§ 2105']

PETER GRAVES, PLAINTIFF,v.SUTTER BOARD OF DIRECTORS, ET AL., DEFENDANTS. PETER GRAVES, PLAINTIFF,v.UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
I. Plaintiff's Applications to Proceed In Forma Pauperis Plaintiff has requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915. Although plaintiff's applications and declarations filed in both cases make the showing required by 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(a)(1) and 1915(2), the undersigned recommends that plaintiff's applications to proceed in forma pauperis be denied as moot because, as discussed below, the undersigned also recommends that plaintiff's actions be dismissed without leave to amend.
Finally, plaintiff's claim or claims premised on Article 2 of the UCC, which in California is codified in Division 2 of the California Commercial Code, fail as a matter of law because plaintiff's claims do not involve the sale of goods. UCC § 2-102 provides that Article II expressly applies to "transactions in goods." Accord Cal. Comm. Code § 2102. The term "goods" is defined as "all things (including specially manufactured goods) which are movable at the time of identification to the contract for sale other than the money in which the price is to be paid, investment securities (Article 8) and things in action." UCC § 2-105(1); accord Cal. Comm. Code § 2105(1). Plaintiff's claims are not premised on the sale of "goods" and, accordingly, neither Article 2 of the UCC nor Division 2 of the California Commercial Code provides a basis for plaintiff's claims.
1. Plaintiff's complaint in case number 2:11-cv-01119 KJM KJN PS be dismissed with prejudice, and the Clerk of Court be directed to close that case.
2. Plaintiff's complaint in case number 2:11-cv-01120 KJM KJN PS be dismissed with prejudice, and the Clerk of Court be directed to close that case.
3. Plaintiff's applications to proceed in forma pauperis in the cases numbered 2:11-cv-01119 KJM KJN PS and 2:11-cv-01120 KJM KJN PS be denied as moot.
