Defendants.

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, seeks relief pursuant to

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 20, 2017, the complaint was dismissed, and plaintiff was granted

19

leave to amend. (ECF No. 13.) Plaintiff’s amended complaint is now before the court for

20

screening. (ECF No. 20.) See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). Plaintiff has consented to Magistrate Judge

21

jurisdiction over all proceedings this action. (ECF No. 6.)
Having reviewed the amended complaint, the undersigned concludes that it fails to cure

22
23

the defects of the original complaint as discussed in the January 20, 2017 screening order, or state

24

a cognizable claim against any defendant. Because it appears that another round of amendment
