16 The Court, having reviewed plaintiff’s complaint, hereby finds that the complaint fails

17 to meet the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a). Plaintiff fails to state a statutory or common

18 law basis for his claims. Plaintiff also fails to provide a short and plain statement of facts

19 showing he is entitled to relief. The Plaintiff’s complaint appears to request the Court overturn

20 the United States Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973). Roe is well-

21 established Supreme Court precedent which this Court is bound to follow under the doctrine of

22 stare decisis. See Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833,

23 860-61, 869 (1992). The Court advises Plaintiff that his complaint will be dismissed without

24 prejudice unless he files within 60 days of the date of this Order an amended complaint meeting

25 the requirements of Rule 8(a).
