MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This civil matter was opened on July 7, 2023 upon the receipt of a several “Notices” submitted by the Plaintiff. (R. Doc. 1). The notices begin with the assertion that “Human legal personhood and birth, marriage, and adoption certificates are unlawful and illegal.” The notice continues with a single spaced diatribe that alleges, among other things, that these “are all basically slavery certificates that make human beings property of one another, these certificates are used to transform humans into a legal entity that is property of the state, a “birth certificate is a disguised property transfer instrument,” and that birth certificates are also “charitable contracts” intended to “deceive biological parents.”
The remaining notices contain various “legal” observations that are somewhat consistent with the sovereign citizen movement that challenges the authority of the government over the citizens. Plaintiff asserts that these “private contracts . . . are all basically slavery” and “must be voided and annulled ab initio.” Plaintiff also suggests that any government regulation of abortion is also the equivalent of slavery. Plaintiff demands that the Unites States Supreme Court and District Courts rule on this in the common law. Plaintiff does not, however, name any particular defendant (either individual or entity) upon whom this ruling should pertain. The notices submitted by the plaintiff do not identify any specific defendants or set forth any specific case or controversy.
To address these deficiencies, Plaintiff was ordered to submit the required filing fee and also submit a Complaint, identify the specific defendant(s) to be sued, the basis for the lawsuit against each defendant, and also request that summons be issued. Plaintiff was warned that “FAILURE TO AMEND THE PLEADINGS OR PROVIDE THE REQUESTED INFORMATION OR FORMS AS INDICATED WILL RESULT IN THE DISMISSAL OF YOUR SUIT BY THE COURT WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE.” (R. Doc. 3) (emphasis in original). These remedial steps were required to be done on or before September 13, 2023. As of the date of this Report and Recommendation, nothing has been submitted to the Court.
Plaintiff was provided specific instructions on how to do so, and was also advised that she could request to proceed as a pauper.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the foregoing, IT IS RECOMMENDED that this matter be dismissed without prejudice for failure to pay the filing fee and failure to state a claim.
