Date Filed Document Text
January 7, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION re: #8 . Signed by JUDGE JILL A. OTAKE on 1/7/2019. "While Penaflor is correct that a court must liberally construe pro se litigants pleadings and grant leave to amend if it appears that a defective claim or complaint can be corrected, Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1130 (9th Cir. 2000), this Court remains convinced that amendment here is futile. Nothing within the Motion for Reconsideration or the Complaint allows an inference that Penaflor can amend his claims to state a colorable claim against the United States based on the Apology Resolution, much less bring a criminal action to reinstate the Kingdom of Hawaii. Granting leave to amend would have been futile, see Sylvia Landfield Tr. v. City of L.A., 729 F.3d 1189, 1196 (9th Cir. 2013), and Penafor's Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED."

December 7, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 6 DISMISSAL ORDER re: #1 .Excerpt of order:"Penaflor's Complaint fails to state a colorable claim for relief and is DISMISSED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2) and 1915A(a). Granting leave to amend is futile, and this dismissal is with prejudice." "This dismissal may count as a 'strike' under 28 U.S.C. 1915(g), which states that a prisoner may not bring a civil action or appeal a civil judgment in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. 1915, if the prisoner has, on 3 or more prior occasions, while incarcerated or detained in any facility, brought an action or appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the grounds that it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the prisoner is under imminent danger of serious physical injury." "The Clerk is directed to enter judgment and close the file." IT IS SO ORDERED. Signed by JUDGE JILL A. OTAKE on 12/7/2018.
