ORDER DENYING APPROVAL TO FILE CASE AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT [#1]
Presently before the Court is Plaintiff Jerome Adams’s complaint against
President Donald J. Trump and forty three other named defendants. Dkt. No. 1.
This Court has enjoined Plaintiff from filing any future complaints in this court
without first seeking and obtaining leave of court by the presiding judge. See Case
no. 18-10133, J. Cohn.
Mr. Adams has a documented pattern of abusing the legal process by filing
frivolous claims. See Adams v. Trump, et al., 18-10133; Adams v. Weay, et al., 1713958; Adams v. Trump, et al.; 17-11925. In the present complaint, Plaintiff is
suing President Trump and various other public figures for over one billion dollars
in damages. Dkt. No. 1, pg. 26 (Pg. ID 26). Plaintiff’s complaint lists five
statements of his claim. Among other things, Plaintiff’s complaint states that in
1

“May 2016 President Donald J. Trump made a movie about my life. I never
receive[] compensation for that movie.” Id. Plaintiff’s claims are frivolous and fail
to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Plaintiff fails to state any
theories of recovery or other bases of relief. The proposed complaint does not meet
the pleading requirements of Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Court does not grant
permission to Mr. Adams to file the present complaint. Plaintiff’s complaint is
dismissed.

SO ORDERED.
