Opinion

No. CIV. S-05-264 LKK, U.S.C.A. No. 05-16543.

ORDER


This matter was referred back to the District Court by the Court of Appeals for the limited purpose of determining whether the appeal has been taken in good faith.

Plaintiff brought this complaint against Superior Court Judge Richard Schueler. Plaintiff alleged various constitutional violations which stemmed from Judge Scheuler denying plaintiff's request for a jury trial on a traffic ticket. Plaintiff's second amended complaint was entitled "constitutional ignorance" and contained neither a demand for judgment nor a statement of the claim showing how plaintiff is entitled to relief. Instead, the complaint focused entirely on the shortcomings of the state and federal judiciaries. As plaintiff's complaints are more a vehicle to vent his frustrations with the judiciary rather than a genuine attempt to fashion a pro-se claim for relief, his appeal is not taken in good faith.

The Clerk is directed to serve a copy of this order on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
