Is a party proceeding in forma pauperis entitled to continue to bring an amended complaint?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Noeldner v. U.S. Gov't, No. 2:19-cv-0775 KJM DB PS (E.D. Cal. 2020):

The court is required to screen complaints brought by parties proceeding in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2); see also Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1129 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc). Here, plaintiffs' amended complaint is deficient. Accordingly, for the reasons stated below, plaintiffs' amended complaint will be dismissed and plaintiffs will be granted further leave to file a second amended complaint.
