ORDER STRIKING MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION [DKT #31]
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s latest request for post-judgment
relief, a motion for preliminary injunction, concerning the Court’s dismissal of his civil
rights complaint (which challenged his state criminal proceedings and raised claims
regarding the validity of the felony warrant, the state court’s jurisdiction, and the judicial
officers’ authority) on January 31, 2014. The Court has denied Plaintiff’s previous
motions for post-judgment relief and has since stricken his continued, repetitive motions
to reopen this closed case.
The instant request shall be stricken. The Court informed Plaintiff in a July 8,
2014 order that the case is closed and that future filings would be stricken. Plaintiff’s
continued requests for post-judgment relief are frivolous. The Court properly dismissed
the complaint pursuant to Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87 (1994), for failure to
state a claim against the state courts who are not persons subject to suit, and on the basis
of Eleventh Amendment and judicial immunity. The Court also properly refused to

reopen this case and/or to grant other relief from judgment. Accordingly, the Court
STRIKES Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction. This case is closed. No further
pleadings should be filed in this matter. Further pleadings will be stricken.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
