Date Filed Document Text
March 11, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 24 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER, Although the Court need no longer speculate as to Keita's race, origin, and religion - as it was forced to do when considering his initial complaint - his conclusory allegation of discrimination is exactly the sort of " ;unadorned, the-defendant-unlawfully-harmed-me accusation" that cannot plausibly support a lawsuit. It cannot be a platform for any claim against deft Pease or any of the SBA employees he references in the supplemental filings or against the SBA itself. When a complaint fails to comply with the pleading requirements set forth in Rule 8, the district court may dismiss it sua sponte. In light of pltff's pro se status, he was granted a second bite at the apple. His complete failure to sup plement his original complaint with any allegation of specific facts evidencing unlawful discrimination convinces the Court that any further opportunity to amend would be pointless. Accordingly, Keita's complaint is dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment and close this case.
