 Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 142 F.3d 445 (9th Cir. 1998) .Submitted April 20, 19982. Decided April 28, 1998

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Irving Hill, District Judge, Presiding.

Before BRUNETTI, RYMER, and T.G. NELSON, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM1 

Carol Lee Shulman appeals pro se the district court's dismissal with prejudice of her third amended complaint for failure to satisfy the pleading requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 8. We affirm.

Although the district court granted Shulman multiple opportunities to explain the nature of her claims against the United States and the Central Intelligence Agency, her third amended complaint is incomprehensible. Under these circumstances, the district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Shulman's third amended complaint with prejudice. See McHenry v. Renne, 84 F.3d 1172, 1177-78 (9th Cir. 1996).

AFFIRMED.
