ORDER
Plaintiff Bank of New York Mellon commenced this action for forcible detainer in Maricopa County Superior Court on July 30, 2010 against Defendants Rae Ribadeneira and Doe occupants I through X, case# CV2010-94820. The address of the real property at issue is 10632 East Blue Sky Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85262 (the Property). On July 19, 2011, Christopher Stoller, who is and was an inmate in the Lake County Jail in Waukegan, Illinois, removed this case from state court. In an Order filed on August 17, 2011, the Court remanded the case to state court. (Doc. 22.) The Court subsequently denied Stoller's motions for reconsideration, for the appointment of a guardian ad litem, and for disqualification of the undersigned. (Doc. 27, 28, 29, 30, 32.)
Christopher Stoller previously commenced a case in federal court, Stoller v. Bank of New York Mellon, No. CV11-1105-PHX-GMS, concerning the same property and issues. Because he failed to use this District's approved form for incarcerated persons to seek leave to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court denied his request in that case with leave to pay the fee or to file the approved form within 30 days. Instead, Stoller filed an interlocutory appeal, which remains pending.
Stoller has filed a motion to stay this proceeding pending resolution of his motion to disqualify and a motion for a hearing on the motion to disqualify. (Doc. 33, 34.) Stoller's motions will be denied. This action was remanded to Maricopa County Superior Court on August 17, 2011 and this case closed. The Court has no jurisdiction over that matter in connection with this case.
IT IS ORDERED:
(1) Christopher Stoller's motion to stay this proceeding is denied. (Doc. 33.)
(2) Stoller's motion for hearing is denied. (Doc. 34.)
(3) The docket shall reflect that the Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) and Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure 24(a)(3)(A), that any appeal of this decision would not be taken in good faith.
