1 2 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 3 4 FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 5 6 7 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 8 9 JOHN BROSNAN, ORDER DENYING PERMISSION TO FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST THE UNITED STATES Defendant. / 12 13 No. CR 10-00068 WHA v. 11 For the Northern District of California United States District Court 10 Plaintiff, In compliance with the terms of his supervised release, defendant John Brosnan has 14 submitted to the undersigned judge a proposed lawsuit that he wishes to file in federal court. In 15 his complaint, Brosnan alleges that he has developed a new battery technology far more 16 powerful than any in the market. The complaint then describes Edward Snowden, Bradley 17 Manning, and how whistleblowers have recently leaked classified documents. Brosnan’s suit 18 requests a declaratory judgment that the United States cannot steal his intellectual property and 19 that the United States must allow him to export it without him going through the proper 20 procedures. 21 Brosnan’s proposed complaint is completely frivolous and does not assert any plausible 22 or proper claims. As has been found in both state and federal court, Brosnan is a vexatious 23 litigant and the pre-filing order was designed to stop lawsuits exactly like this one. Permission 24 to file this declaratory judgment action against the United States is DENIED. The CLERK SHALL 25 PLEASE CLOSE THE FILE. 26 27 28 IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: October 6, 2015. WILLIAM ALSUP UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
