UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA YOUNG YIL JO, Plaintiff, v. GEORGE W. BUSH, et al., Defendants. / Plaintiff Young Yil Jo ("plaintiff") is a prisoner in federal custody at the Federal Correctional Institution in Waseca, Minnesota. To date, plaintiff has filed more than forty civil cases in this district. Most of the cases were filed in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Twelve of the cases were transferred to the United States District Court for Minnesota because venue was improper in this district.1 Based on those transfers, plaintiff is on notice that cases in which the named defendants are T. C. Outlaw, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, John Ashcroft, and/or Janet Reno should not be filed in this district. Plaintiff's persistence in filing cases in this district despite the lack of proper venue is in bad faith and is vexatious.2 For this reason, the court declines to transfer this case and shall instead dismiss CASE NO. 1:06-CV-00174-REC-SMS-P ORDER DISMISSING ACTION (Doc. 1)

As further evidence of plaintiff's bad faith and vexatiousness, the court takes judicial notice of the court r e c o r d s in case numbers CV-F-04-5298 AW I SMS P Jo v.
