Plaintiff,

Defendants.

The Court screened the proposed complaint and dismissed this case with

16

prejudice on June 12, 2014. (Dkt. no. 3.) Plaintiff has moved to reopen the case based

17

on his claim that he was not served with the screening order and was not aware that the

18

case was dismissed. (Dkt. no. 7.) The Court's records show that a copy of the screening

19

order was sent to Plaintiff at the mailing address reflected on the Court's docket. (Dkt.

20

no. 3.) While it is unfortunate that Plaintiff did not timely receive a copy, that fact alone

21

is not a valid reason for the Court to reopen a case dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiff's

22

motion to reopen case (dkt. no. 7) is denied.

23

DATED THIS 18th day of December 2015.
