Opinion
Civil Action No. 3:02-CV-1974-D
November 19, 2002
ORDER
After making an independent review of the pleadings, files, and records in this case, and the October 29, 2002 findings and recommendation of the magistrate judge, the court concludes that the findings and conclusions are correct and are therefore adopted.
All relief sought in any pleading filed by plaintiff on or before November 18, 2002 is denied. Plaintiff, who apparently either considers himself to be President of the United States or the rightful claimant to the office, has filed a series of bizarre and often unintelligible pleadings in this case. They are patently frivolous and place an undue burden on the court and clerk to address them. Accordingly, except with leave of court granted by a district or magistrate judge of this court, plaintiff may not file in this case any additional pleadings except motions under Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) or 60(b). If he files a prohibited pleading without first obtaining leave, the clerk of court is directed to advise the court by notice of deficiency form, and the court will order the pleading unfiled.
Additionally, this is not plaintiffs first frivolous lawsuit. In Civil Action No. 3:98-CV-0597-D, he sued the "Full Congress" of the United States arising from alleged medical problems that he suffers. In the court's April 20, 1998 order adopting the magistrate judge's recommendation in that case, the court admonished plaintiff that "if he files frivolous lawsuits in the future, he will subject himself not only to dismissal of the suits but to monetary sanctions and to orders precluding him from filing any further litigation in this court without first securing leave of court." April 20, 1998 Order at 2. Subsequent to issuance of that warning, plaintiff has filed eight more cases in this court. He has filed 22 different lawsuits since 1997. Considering this abusive conduct, the court imposes a $500 sanction that he must pay to the clerk of court. The court also orders that plaintiff is barred from filing any additional lawsuits in this court unless he first obtains leave of court from a district or magistrate judge of this court.
