On December 22, 2015, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a mandate in
Case No. 14-35501, effectuating an order from earlier in the year reversing this Court’s decision
to deny Mr. Scott IFP status in regards to a complaint he had filed. (See Dkt. No. 142-1, Richard
Roy Scott v. Mark Strong.)
In light of that order, the Court rules as follows:
IT IS ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall open a new civil case, Richard Roy
Scott v. Mark Strong, and shall file in that docket both the original complaint (Dkt. No. 142-1)
and the amended complaint (Dkt. No. 150) which Mr. Scott filed upon receipt of the Ninth
Circuit’s order.
