No. 20246.
United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit.
January 7, 1966.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington; Charles L. Powell, Judge.
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:


1
The brief for appellant received December 16, 1965, is ordered filed.


2
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.


3
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.


4
Cf. Armstrong v. Rushing, 352 F.2d 836, 9th Cir., decided November 15, 1965.
