CASE NO. 1:11-cv-00113-LJO-SMS

Plaintiff,
ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION NOTICE OF AMENDED
DOCKET STATEMENT

v.
FRESNO COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT,
et al.,

13
Defendants.

(Doc. 56)
/

15
On January 21, 2011, Plaintiff Janetta Sconiers filed a 569-page complaint purporting to
16
name as defendants numerous judicial, law enforcement, and other government officials. Since
17
filing her complaint, Plaintiff has plagued this Court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals with
18
numerous malicious and frivolous findings, the most recent of which challenge this Court’s
19
inherent power to control its docket and the disposition of its cases with economy of time and
20
effort for both the Court and the parties. Landis v. North American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254-55
21

(1936); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 915 (1992).

22
On October 31, 2011, Plaintiff again filed a frivolous and malicious motion, creatively
23
entitled “Motion Notice of Amended Docketing Statement,” which again challenges the Court’s
24
orders attempting to control Plaintiff’s seemingly endless flood of frivolous and malicious
25
motions. The Court may infer malice or a lack of good faith from documents containing untrue
26
material allegations of fact or false statements made with the intent to harass or deceive the court
27

or opposing parties. See Horsey v. Asher, 741 F.2d 209, 212 (8th Cir. 1984). The Court has the

28
1

1

inherent power to dismiss actions abusing judicial process. Glick v. Gutbrod, 782 F.2d 754, 757

2

(7th Cir. 1986).

The Court HEREBY STRIKES Plaintiff’s Motion Notice of Filing of Amended
Docketing Statement, filed October 31, 2011, as Document 56.
