JEFFREY LAMONT TAYLOR,

Plaintiff,

No. 2:15-cv-0176 CKD P

v.

ORDER

MINTZ, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, who seeks relief

17
18

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 23, 2015, plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed for failing

19

to conform to the pleading requirements of Rule 8 of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, and he

20

was granted one opportunity to amend. (ECF No. 7.) Plaintiff has consented to Magistrate Judge

21

jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) and Local Rule 302. (ECF No. 5.)
Before the court for screening is plaintiff’s amended complaint (“FAC”), filed on May 8,

22
23

2015. (ECF No. 12.) See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). Having reviewed the FAC, the undersigned

24

concludes that it fails to cure the defects of the original complaint as set forth in the March 23,

25

2015 screening order. Because it appears that another round of amendment would be futile, the

26

undersigned will dismiss this action.
