Docket No. 1:19-cv-00155-MW-GRJ MUSTAFA OJONUBA JIBRIN, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus HUSSEINA JIBRIN ABUBAKAR, KATIMA OYIBO, et al., Defendants-Appellees. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida ________________________ (May 14, 2020) Before ROSENBAUM, BRANCH, and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: Case: 19-15187 Date Filed: 05/14/2020 Page: 2 of 11 Mustafa Jibrin filed a pro se complaint in the instant case alleging civil rights violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court sua sponte dismissed his amended complaint because it was frivolous and failed to state a claim, and implicitly denied his request to amend his complaint a second time. On appeal, Jibrin argues that there was no compelling reason to dismiss his amended complaint and that he should have been granted leave to amend his complaint again. We affirm.1 I.

Accordingly, Jibrin initiated the following pro se complaint against Abubakar, Oyibo, Peaceful Paths, the University of Florida, and the UF Police Department. His complaint alleged civil rights violations under § 1983, and he sought both damages and injunctive relief—including, inter alia, Abubakar’s deportation, Oyibo’s repatriation to her country of origin, and that UF provide certain services to its international students and facilitate his participation in research opportunities and grants. He then sought leave to amend his complaint and to proceed in forma pauperis, and intended to add the State of Florida and the “United States Citizenship and Immigration Control” as defendants.
