MEMORANDUM
TO:

Mr. Josephat Mua
Counsel of Record

FROM:

Judge Peter J. Messitte

RE:

Mua v. The Maryland Office of the Attorney General et al.
Civil No. PJM 14-2070

DATE:

May 13, 2015

***
On May 8, 2015 the Court received further correspondence from pro se Plaintiff Josephat Mua.
Although captioned and docketed in Mua v. The Maryland Office of the Attorney General et al.,
at ECF No. 38, the correspondence makes reference to motions, orders, and other matters in Mua
v. The O’Neal Law Firm, LLP et al., Civ. No. PJM 14-2334, and seeks relief in both cases.
The Court reminds Mr. Mua that Mua v. The Maryland Office of the Attorney General et al. and
Mua v. The O’Neal Law Firm, LLP et al. are separate civil actions pending before this Court.
Mr. Mua may not make filings in one case that ask the Court to take action in the other case.
Mr. Mua indicates that he filed in this Court what is styled as a Response to Defendant Prince
George’s County’s Motion for Summary Judgment on May 4, 2015. The Clerk of the Court
correctly rejected the filing and returned the document to Mr. Mua because it failed to comply
with the Court’s May 1, 2015 Order. ECF No. 36.
Each of the four defendants in this case have filed motions to dismiss or motions for summary
judgment against Mr. Mua. See ECF Nos. 11, 12, 14. Mr. Mua has already filed a Response to
Defendant Prince George’s County’s Motion for Summary Judgment, as well as to Defendant
Maryland Office of the Attorney General and Defendant Maryland State Board of Education.
That Response is 50 pages in length, with a 45 page affidavit by Mr. Mua, and contains over 100
exhibits. See ECF Nos. 28-33. Mr. Mua has also already filed a Response to Defendant Nancy
Kopp’s Motion to Dismiss. ECF No. 27.
Mr. Mua has therefore already filed responses to all Motions to Dismiss currently pending
against him in this case. Accordingly, Mr. Mua SHALL NOT make any further filings with
respect to the motions to dismiss or motions for summary judgment filed by Defendants Prince

George’s County, Maryland Office of the Attorney General, Maryland State Board of Education,
or Nancy Kopp.
Mr. Mua further alleges that Defendant Kopp filed documents with the Court without serving
him a copy, and requests an extension of time to respond to this filing. The filing in question
appears to be Defendant Kopp’s Reply to Mua’s Opposition, ECF No. 34, filed April 29, 2015.
The Court construes Mr. Mua’s request as a Motion to File a Surreply to Defendant Kopp’s
Opposition. The Court DENIES this Motion. The Court reiterates that Mr. Mua SHALL NOT
make any further filings with respect to the motion to dismiss filed by Defendant Kopp.
If Mr. Mua has not received Defendant Kopp’s Reply, Mr. Mua should so inform counsel for
Defendant Kopp in writing. Counsel for Defendant Kopp SHALL then promptly supply Mr.
Mua with a copy at the following address: 2332 London Bridge Dr., Silver Spring, MD, 20906.
Mr. Mua further states that he is “appreciative of the Court’s order of Extension of time to June
1st 2015 to respond to the Defendants in this case.” ECF No. 38, at 2. The Court has done no
such thing. The Court only extended response deadlines in Mua v. The O’Neal Law Firm, LLP et
al. As noted above, Mr. Mua has already responded to each of the Defendants’ motions to
dismiss or motions for summary judgment in Mua v. The Maryland Office of the Attorney
General et al. Accordingly, the Court again reiterates that Mr. Mua SHALL NOT make any
further filings with respect to the motions to dismiss or motions for summary judgment in Mua v.
The Maryland Office of the Attorney General et al.
Despite the informal nature of this ruling, it shall constitute an Order of the Court and the Clerk
is directed to docket it accordingly.
