McKoby v. Inslee

THE HONORABLE JOHN C. COUGHENOUR UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON 8 AT SEATTLE WILLIAM McKOBY, CASE NO. C19-2072-JCC Plaintiff, ORDER 11 v. JAY ROBERT INSLEE et al., 13 Defendants.

15 This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. On December 27, 2019, the Court, having reviewed Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B), found that Plaintiff had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted because he had not demonstrated that he had standing to bring his lawsuit. (See Dkt. No. 5.) The Court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint curing the deficiencies identified by the Court within 14 days of the date the Court’s order was issued. (Id. at 3.) Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on January 10, 2020. (See Dkt. No. 6.) The amended complaint reiterates his claims regarding the differences between federal and Washington law in defining the terms “motor vehicle” and “commercial” but does not demonstrate that he has suffered an injury sufficient to support his standing to bring this action. See Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, 136 S. Ct. 1540, 1548 (2016); Clapper v. Amnesty Int’l USA, 568 U.S. 398, 409 (2013); (see generally Dkt. No. 6). As Plaintiff’s amended complaint fails to cure the deficiencies previously identified by the Court, the Court hereby DISMISSES Plaintiff’s complaint and this action without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)B). The Clerk is DIRECTED to close this case.

3 DATED this 14th day of January 2020.
