Opinion
Case No. CV414-279

KELVIN J. ROBBINS, Plaintiff, v. UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP, et al., Defendants.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Kelvin Robbins is back before the Court with yet another in a long series of frivolous copyright infringement lawsuits. See Robbins v. Universal Music Group, CV414-230 doc. 4 at 3 (S.D. Ga. Oct. 27, 2014) ("Robbins is a man with a delusional and disturbed mind who believes that musicians, record companies, and the federal courts are depriving him of vast sums of money to which he is entitled."), adopted, doc. 10 at 2 (deeming him an "out-of-control serial filer" and directing the Clerk to forward all future cases to the presiding judge; then, if there is no written order within 30 days, return those filings to plaintiff and implement "automatic dismissal" of each new case). Robbins moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). Doc. 2. He also moves for summary judgment. Doc. 3.
Because Robbins filed this case before the Universal Music Group adoption order (in CV414-230) directing the "30-day-review" process, it is not a "new" case and thus will not be so processed. Nevertheless it is still frivolous on its face. For jurisdictional purposes only, then, the Court GRANTS the IFP motion (doc. 2) but advises dismissal with prejudice, thus mooting plaintiffs summary judgment motion, doc. 3.
SO REPORTED AND RECOMMENDED this 21st day of January, 2015.
