II. Legal Standard

6 Federal courts must screen any case in which a prisoner seeks redress from a governmental 7 entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The court must 8 identify cognizable claims and dismiss claims that are frivolous, malicious, fail to state a claim 9 upon which relief may be granted, or seek monetary relief from a defendant immune from such 10 relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1), (2). Pro se pleadings must be liberally construed. See Balistreri v. 11 Pacifica Police Dep’t, 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir. 1990). 12

III. Analysis

13 Mr. Van Huisen does not state any claim for relief. Mr. Van Huisen does not identify any 14 injury that has been done to him, nor does he provide any facts to support any of his allegations. 15 See generally id. Rather, Mr. Van Huisen fills ten pages with difficult-to-decipher statements and 16 quotations from religious sources, films, and some unknown text that appears to be related to 17 Christopher Columbus’s ships. See id. He also relates an experience where he went fishing. See id. 18 at 8-9. The Complaint does not inform the Court who injured Mr. Van Huisen, how he was 19 injured, where and when he was injured, and why he believes this injury was unlawful. 20 Accordingly, Mr. Van Huisen has failed to state a claim. 21 In this District alone, Mr. Van Huisen has filed eleven civil rights lawsuits with similarly 22 difficult to understand and often impossible allegations, often against improper defendants.1 When 23 given an opportunity and detailed instructions on how to amend, Mr. Van Huisen has failed to 24

25 1 See Van Huisen v. Goss, Case No. 23-cv-4210-PCP; Van Huisen v. Gates, Case No. 23-4447- PCP; Van Huisen v. Central Intelligence Agency, Case No. 23-4591-PCP; Van Huisen v. United 26 States Air Force, Case No. 23-cv-4753-PCP; Van Huisen v. Lafrades, Case No. 23-cv-4800-PCP; Van Huisen v. Volkswagen Motors, Case No. 23-cv-4866-PCP; Van Huisen v. Burns, Case No. 23- 27 cv-4914-PCP; Van Huisen v. DiCaprio, Case No. 23-cv-5081-PCP; VanHuissen v. Warner Bros., ] correct these defects. See, e.g., Van Huisen v. Lafrades, Case No. 23-cv-4800-PCP. Although 2 || district courts generally afford prisoner litigants the opportunity to amend their complaint, a 3 district court may deny leave to amend if it finds any of: “(1) bad faith, (2) undue delay, (3) 4 || prejudice to the opposing party, (4) futility of amendment; [or] (5) [the] plaintiff has previously 5 || amended his complaint.” Allen v. City of Beverly Hills, 911 F.2d 367, 373 (9th Cir. 1990). 6 Here, in light of Mr. Van Huisen’s history of filing meritless actions, the Court concludes 7 || that leave to amend would be futile and should not be granted. Janicki Logging Co. v. Mateer, 42 8 || F.3d 561, 566 (9th Cir. 1994) (leave to amend need not be given where amendment would be 9 || futile).? 10 || IV. Conclusion 11 This action is dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. gq 12 Because amendment would be futile, dismissal is without leave to amend.

13 The Court certifies that any appeal of this order is not taken in good faith.

Y 14 The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions and close the file.

15 16 IT IS SO ORDERED.

If Mr. Van Huisen re-files the same claims in a new action, on the same 28 facts, that action also will be dismissed for failure to state a claim. Every dismissal for failure to state a claim is a “strike” under the Prison Litigation Reform Act.
