Legal Issues

• Whether the district court erred in dismissing the Plaintiff's civil rights complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's order dismissing the Plaintiff's civil rights complaint.

Reasons

• The Court, led by Judge M. Monica Zamora with Judges Linda M. Vanzi and Timothy L. Garcia concurring, found the Plaintiff's arguments in his memorandum in opposition insufficient to overturn the proposed summary disposition. The Court acknowledged the Plaintiff's pro se status and the need to review his pleadings with a tolerant eye but emphasized that pro se litigants are held to the same standards as those represented by counsel. The Plaintiff's pleadings, despite being considered with leniency, failed to demonstrate an error on appeal or show that his limited legal resources in prison hindered his ability to pursue a legal claim. The decision to affirm was based on these considerations and the reasons stated in the Court's notice of proposed summary disposition (paras 1-5).
