Petitioner Rickard D. Anderson has filed two petitions for a writ of habeas corpus. In the petition forms he writes nonsensical phrases with no clear relationship to each other. Attached to the petition form filed in Case no. C 08-4946 SBA (PR) are random documents, including a partiallycompleted state habeas petition form, a 28-page informational packet regarding federal habeas corpus from the Prison Law Office, and a letter from the Prison Law Office. Petitioner has also filed two separate applications to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). Nowhere does Petitioner assert identifiable federal claims or make coherent factual allegations that could give rise to valid habeas corpus or civil rights claims. Nor does he allege the exhaustion of state remedies, which is a prerequisite to filing a federal habeas corpus action. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b). Petitioner has previously filed several petitions which have all been dismissed as unintelligible. In addition, Petitioner has filed well over one hundred complaints in this Court since 2003, all of which have been unintelligible. It is difficult to ascertain from Petitioner's complaints who he is seeking relief from or what relief he is seeking. These filings serve no reasonable litigation purpose, and they impose an unreasonable burden on the Court and its staff. Furthermore, based on Petitioner's past history of failing to respond to this Court's orders to amend unintelligible complaints, the Court finds that granting Petitioner leave to amend would be futile.

Accordingly, the instant actions are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Petitioner's IFP applications are GRANTED. All other pending motions are TERMINATED. The Clerk of the Court shall close both files. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: 11/18/08 _______________________________ SAUNDRA BROWN ARMSTRONG United States District Judge
