AMON, United States District Judge:
By Order dated June 30, 2015, the Court granted plaintiff Pakenauth Geer's request to
proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 and dismissed his complaint for failure to
state a claim on which relief may be granted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(l). Geer v. Brown,
No. 14-CV-6172 (CBA) (LB), 2015 WL 4042166 (E.D.N.Y. June 30, 2015). The Court granted
Geer leave to amend his complaint only as to his prison mail interference and denial of access to
the courts claims. Id. at *6. He has filed an amended complaint. (D.E. # 7 ("Am. Comp!.").) For
the following reasons, Geer' s amended complaint is dismissed for failure to state a claim on which
relief may be granted.
In his amended complaint, Geer raises claims, now all too familiar to the Court,2 relating
to his criminal conviction and "resentenc[ing] to 17 years flat bid." (Am. Comp!. at I.) He
describes his sentence as originally a "12 to 17 years split bid, with (parole release within 5 years)"
rather than his current sentence of" 17 years flat bid, with 5 years post release supervision." (!
