Opinion

7 CHARLES JOSEPH REEVIS, also known as NO: 2:20-CV-00488-RMP 8 champion of all champions baby, ORDER DISMISSING ACTION 9 Plaintiff,

10 v.

11 SPOKANE COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT, 12 Defendant. 13

14 By Order filed March 31, 2021, the Court granted Plaintiff Charles Joseph 15 Reevis thirty days to voluntarily dismiss this action. ECF No. 8. The Court found 16 that Mr. Reevis’s pro se submission, a two-page Standard Form 95 (“SF 95”), filed 17 while he was incarcerated at the Spokane County Corrections Center, did not 18 support a federal tort claim. Id. at 4–5. Consequently, Plaintiff’s claims were 19 subject to dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See McNeil v. United 20 States, 508 U.S. 106, 110, 113 (1993). 21 Plaintiff is currently housed at Comprehensive Health Care - Yakima 1 Competency Restoration, and is proceeding in forma pauperis, but without the 2 obligation to pay the $350.00 filing fee for this action. ECF No. 7. Plaintiff did

3 not avail himself of the opportunity to voluntarily dismiss this action. 4 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED: 5 1. This action is DISMISSED without prejudice for lack of subject matter

6 jurisdiction. 7 2. Based on the Court’s reading of Hoffmann v. Pulido, 928 F.3d 1147, 8 1152 (9th Cir. 2019), this dismissal will NOT count as a “strike” under 9 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g).

10 3. This case is DISMISSED and CLOSED. 11 IT IS SO ORDERED. The District Court Clerk is DIRECTED to enter 12 this Order, provide a copy to Plaintiff and CLOSE the file. The Court certifies

13 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal of this Order would not be 14 taken in good faith and would lack any arguable basis in law or fact. 15 DATED June 8, 2021. 16
