Opinion
Case No. 6:08-mc-41-Orl-KRS.
April 4, 2008
ORDER
This cause came on for consideration without oral argument on the following motion filed herein: MOTION: PETITION TO OPEN "MISCELLANEOUS CASE" FILE AND DEPOSIT THE ATTACHED "CERTIFICATE OF SEARCH" INTO THE MISCELLANEOUS CASE FILE (Doc. No. 1) FILED: April 4, 2008
Kenneth Scott Vitale filed a petition requesting the Clerk of Court to open a miscellaneous case and file therein a "Certificate of Search." He also submitted with the Petition a document entitled "Declaration of Foreign Status."This Court is not a general repository for documents that are not related to cases or controversies pending before the Court. Vitale has not presented a memoranda of law as required by Local Rule 3.01(a) indicating that the documents he wishes to file in this Court relate to a case or controversy that is properly within the jurisdiction of this Court.
Accordingly, while a miscellaneous case was necessarily opened to receive Vitale's petition, there is no legal basis to permit Vitale to file documents in the case. Accordingly, the request to file a "Certificate of Search" is DENIED, and the Clerk of Court shall return the "Certificate of Search" and "Declaration of Foreign Status" to Vitale and delete them from CM/ECF. Thereafter, the Clerk of Court is directed to close the miscellaneous file.
DONE and ORDERED.
