February 23, 2022 Case ASSIGNED to CHIEF JUDGE THOMAS D. SCHROEDER and MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD. (Sheets, Jamie)
February 23, 2022 TEXT RECOMMENDATION that the Court dismiss this action under 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B) as frivolous and for failure to state a claim, due to the lack of any factual allegations in #2 Complaint showing that Defendants (three dental practices which failed to provide the type(s) of service(s) that Plaintiff desired) acted under color of state law so as to trigger potential civil liability for violations of the Eighth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution (as made actionable via 42 U.S.C. 1983), a requirement about which the Court has advised Plaintiff repeatedly in connection with many prior actions. The demand in #2 Complaint that "Defendants be imprisoned pursuant to 18 USC 242" further underscores the frivolous nature of this action, in that (A) Plaintiff cannot bring an action (civil or criminal) under that federal criminal statute, (B) imprisonment does not constitute an available remedy in any federal civil action he could bring, and (C) dental practices cannot go to prison. Plaintiff should understand that his persistence in filing frivolous federal actions supports the denial of future pauper applications under the discretionary authority of 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1), without consideration of the substance of his related complaints under the provisions of Section 1915(e)(2)(B). See Blakely v. Wards, 738 F.3d 607, 612 (4th Cir. 2013); see also id. at 619-22 (Wilkinson, J., concurring), 624 (Duncan, J., concurring). Issued by MAG/JUDGE L. PATRICK AULD on 02/23/2022.
