ORDER

12
13

Plaintiff Walter Tripp is a convicted sex offender. He sued four members of the Nevada

14

Board of Parole Commissioners in this Court, claiming that they violated his rights under the

15

Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment via their alleged policy of automatically

16

denying parole to sex offenders. The Court dismissed the Complaint with prejudice upon

17

screening under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A both because Defendants were entitled to quasi-judicial

18

immunity and because Plaintiff could not attack the lawfulness of his confinement via a civil

19

action for damages but only via a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Both this Court and the

20

Court of Appeals found the appeal to be frivolous and therefore denied in forma pauperis status

21

on appeal. The Court of Appeals ordered Plaintiff to pay the full filing fee by October 7, 2015 if

22

he wished to proceed anyway. Plaintiff has asked the Court to reconsider its dismissal and for

23

leave to amend. To the extent it has jurisdiction to consider them, the Court denies the motions.
