No. 2:17-cv-0492 JAM CKD PS
Plaintiff,
v.
THE UNITED STATES,
ORDER AND FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Defendant.
16
17
On March 15, 2017, the court dismissed plaintiff’s complaint and granted her 30 days
18
leave to file an amended complaint. (ECF No. 3.) Plaintiff did not amend her complaint within
19
30 days. Therefore, on May 4, 2017, the undersigned recommended that this action be dismissed
20
without prejudice. (ECF No. 4.)
21
Subsequently, on June 14, 2017, plaintiff moved for a 60 day extension of time to file
22
objections, which was granted. (ECF Nos. 6, 7.) On August 8, 2017, plaintiff filed her objections
23
to the findings and recommendations. (ECF No. 9.) In her objections, plaintiff explains that she
24
is busy with school and community activities. (See Id. at 2.) She also lists very general
25
grievances about the circumstances in her community. (See Id. at 2, 7.) However, even assuming
26
that plaintiff’s diffuse statements are intended to serve as an amended complaint, they fail to state
27
a cognizable claim for relief because she has failed to allege with any specificity what was done
28
by whom. (Id. at 7.) Her broad and generic allegations do not include the identity of the alleged

actor or actors, nor do they implicate any recognizable legal cause of action:
An accumulation of ill-circumstantial [sic] obstacles has left me to
struggle and embarrass my community. Socioecomonical [sic]
influence and factors affecting educational materials has burdened
many.
Medical manipulation and imprisonment of many
hours/years of residents has lead to an inbalance [sic] in
communities (families). Business ethics fostered daily are still
questionable. . . Concern is increasing at the forefront of residents
(medical-vetting). Unecessary [sic] hardship to communities, even
with implemented services is still prevalant [sic].
Request to
ammend. (amend) [sic]
8
(Id.) Moreover, nothing in plaintiff’s objections indicate that if she were given more time to
9
amend her complaint she would be able to cure its defects.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the court’s May 4, 2017 findings and
recommendations (ECF No. 4) are VACATED and superseded.
Furthermore, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be DISMISSED without
prejudice. See Local Rule 110; Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
14
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge
15
assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen (14)
16
days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written
17
objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned
18
“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Any reply to the objections
19
shall be served on all parties and filed with the court within fourteen (14) days after service of the
20
objections. The parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may
21
waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th
22
Cir. 1998); Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153, 1156-57 (9th Cir. 1991).
