NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS AUG 25 2021 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT TREMANE DARNELL CARTHEN, No. 21-15063 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 1:19-cv-00227-DAD-EPG v. MEMORANDUM* P. SCOTT; et al., Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California Dale A. Drozd, District Judge, Presiding Submitted August 17, 2021** Before: SILVERMAN, CHRISTEN, and LEE, Circuit Judges.

Federal prisoner Tremane Darnell Carthen appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action brought under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), alleging violations of his constitutional rights. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

§ 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Hamilton v. Brown, 630 F.3d 889, 892 (9th Cir. 2011). We vacate and remand.

On appeal, Carthen submitted objections to the magistrate judge’s finding and recommendations and a proposed amended complaint. Carthen claims that these documents were not filed in the district court due to his prison’s failure to mail the documents. Because Carthen’s proposed amended complaint includes allegations that may cure the deficiencies noted by the findings and recommendations, we vacate the judgment and remand for the district court to consider whether Carthen should be allowed to file an amended complaint.

On remand, the district court should address whether a Bivens remedy exists for the various claims Carthen asserts. See Ziglar v. Abbasi, 137 S. Ct. 1843 (2017).

Carthen’s motion to file an amended complaint with this court (Docket Entry No. 5) and motion for appointment of counsel (Docket Entry Nos. 8 and 9) are denied.

VACATED and REMANDED.
