IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS

Michael D. Glover,
Plaintiff,

vs.

Case No. 13-2646-JTM

United States of America, et al.,
Defendants.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Michael Glover is presently incarcerated in Leavenworth, Kansas, having been convicted
of being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession with intent to distribute heroin. The
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri sentenced Glover to 360 months
imprisonment. See United States v. Glover, No. 12:-00243-JAR-1 (E.D. Mo.).
Glover commenced the present action pro se in Kansas state court by a single-page petition
entitled “SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT,” which alleges that the federal criminal judgment
against him “is satisfied, insofar as the same in considered a lien payable to the United States, and
by subrogation, the attachment, page 2 hereof, is effective immediately.” (Dkt. 1-1). Glover attached
to his state court petition a document entitled “NON-NEGOTIABLE ADMINISTRATIVE
RELEASE DEED” by which he purports to release himself from the federal judgment. The

defendants, the United States Department of Treasury, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the United
States District Court, and the United States of America, removed the action to this court.
The defendants have moved to dismiss, and the court finds the motion should be granted.
Glover’s complaint is essentially identical to other complaints which have been summarily
dismissed as clearly frivolous. See Amerson v. United States of America, Case No.13-cv-03132 (D.
Kan. September 17, 2013) (dismissing similar “SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT” civil action
seeking to circumvent federal criminal proceedings). Glover has filed no response to the defendants’
motion.
IT IS ACCORDINGLY ORDERED this 7th day of April, 2014, that the defendants’ Motion
to Dismiss (Dkt. 9) is hereby granted for good cause shown and pursuant to D.Kan.R. 7.4.
