UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 MARTIN LEE FOSTER, No. 2:22-cv-0396-JAM-KJN PS Plaintiff, ORDER & FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

v. (ECF No. 10) GAVIN NEWSOM, Defendant. 16 Plaintiff is proceeding in this action without counsel and in forma pauperis (“IFP”).1 (ECF Nos. 2, 9.) In screening the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, the undersigned concluded that the complaint failed to state a valid claim for relief, and—after explaining the problems with the complaint—granted plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint addressing those deficiencies. (ECF No. 9.) On May 11, 2022, plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”), which is now before the court for re-screening. (ECF No. 10.) Because the FAC does not cure the deficiencies previously identified, the undersigned recommends dismissing the case for failure to state a claim. /// /// 27 1 Actions where a party proceeds without counsel are referred to a magistrate judge pursuant to E.D.
