Decision Date07 January 1966
Docket NumberNo. 20246.,20246.
PartiesNeil C. WALLEN, Appellant, v. B. J. RHAY, Warden, et al., Appellees.

Neil C. Wallen, in pro. per.

John J. O'Connell, Atty. Gen., Olympia, Wash., for appellee.

Before BARNES, KOELSCH and BROWNING, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

The brief for appellant received December 16, 1965, is ordered filed.

In this civil rights case, brought by a state prisoner against the warden and several other prison officials, the District Court dismissed plaintiff's complaint without leave to amend.

Although the complaint fails to state a claim, we are clear that the plaintiff should have been given the right to amend. The cause of action is remanded so that he may amend.

Cf. Armstrong v. Rushing, 352 F.2d 836, 9th Cir., decided November 15, 1965.
