No. MC 16-80216 WHA

In compliance with the terms of his supervised release (see Case No. 10-0068, Dkt. No.

18

312), defendant John Brosnan has submitted to the undersigned judge a proposed lawsuit that he

19

wishes to file in state court. In his complaint, Brosnan alleges that, in 2009, defendant Silicon

20

Valley Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory (SVRCFL) and one of its employees

21

attempted to create an image of a memory card reader with no success. Brosnan alleges that, as

22

a result of defendants’ inability to create an image of the memory card reader, he was unable to

23

access exculpatory evidence before his trial. The proposed complaint asserts claims for

24

personal injury, negligence, fraud, deceit, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Brosnan’s proposed complaint is frivolous. Permission to file this complaint against
SVRCFL and its employee is DENIED. The Clerk shall please return the complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: October 6, 2016.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
