UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
KALVIN L. WASHINGTON,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 21-12062

v.

Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds

LORI DAWSON, et al.,
Defendants.
_______________________________/
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO
REMOVE ALL CAPITAL LETTER NAMES [21]
In an order dated September 22, 2021, the Court summarily dismissed this pro
se prisoner civil rights case, because Plaintiff’s claims are barred by Heck v. Humphrey,
512 U.S. 477, 486-87 (1994). (ECF No. 5.) The matter is now before the Court on
Plaintiff’s “motion to remove all capital letter names and replace them with the proper
spelling names above which actually represent’s [sic] real people and not a piece of
property.” (ECF No. 21.) Plaintiff’s motion appears to stem from what “[m]any sovereign
citizen organizations teach” and that is “that whenever a Moor’s name is spelled in
capital letters in a government document, the name identifies not the individual but
instead his ‘corporate shell identity,’ or in other words a ‘straw man’ controlled by the
government.” See Bey v. Ind., 847 F.3d 559, 560-61 (7th Cir. 2017). Because this
belief has no basis in fact or law, Plaintiff’s motion to remove all capital letter names is
DENIED.1

The Court also notes that Plaintiff has filed with the Court a number of
supplemental filings (ECF Nos. 19, 20, 22), but these filings are improper considering
the dismissal of this case, (see ECF No. 5; see also ECF No. 18).

SO ORDERED.
