Case No. C13-0715RSL
ORDER OF DISMISSAL

13
14

On April 29, 2013, the Court ordered plaintiff, proceeding pro se and in forma

15

pauperis, to show cause why his complaint should not be dismissed on jurisdictional and/or

16

Eleventh Amendment grounds. Dkt. # 5. Plaintiff was advised that failure to file a timely and

17

adequate amended complaint may result in dismissal of this case and that an amended complaint

18

operates as a complete substitute for the original pleading and must include all relevant

19

information. In response, plaintiff filed a collection of documents related to his attempts to

20

obtain a doctor’s statement of disability and his application for benefits from the Arizona

21

Department of Economic Security.

22

Having reviewed plaintiff’s response and the remainder of the file, the Court finds

23

that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over plaintiff’s claims and that plaintiff has failed to

24

allege a plausible claim for relief against a state agency. This matter is therefore dismissed

25

without prejudice.
