No. 4:14CV441 NCC

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Over the past eight months, plaintiff has filed numerous delusional and
frivolous cases in this Court regarding a religiously-motivated conspiracy against his
family.1 Plaintiff alleges that the federal government and other named defendants are
using terrorism, racism, and satanism against him and are trying to murder him and
his family because they are preachers of the gospel. He seeks nine hundred trillion
dollars in monetary damages.

See e.g., Warren v. Federal Gov’t, No. 4:13-CV-1465-CEJ (E.D. Mo. 2013);
Warren v. Federal Gov’t, No. 4:13-CV-1560-RWS (E.D. Mo. 2013); Warren v.
Federal Gov’t, No. 4:13-CV-1570-JAR (E.D. Mo. 2013); Warren v. Federal Gov’t,
No. 4:13-CV-1634-HEA (E.D. Mo. 2013); Warren v. Federal Gov’t, No. 4:13-CV1643-AGF (E.D. Mo. 2013); Warren v. Federal Gov’t, No. 4:13-CV-1780-CEJ (E.D.
Mo. 2013); Warren v. Federal Gov’t, No. 4:13-CV-1878-CEJ (E.D. Mo. 2013);
Warren v. Federal Gov’t, No. 4:13-CV-1906-TIA (E.D. Mo. 2013); Warren v.
Federal Gov’t, No. 4:13-CV-1998-SNLJ (E.D. Mo. 2013); Warren v. Federal Gov’t,
No. 4:13-CV-2069-SPM (E.D. Mo. 2013).

The Court previously warned plaintiff that it would not allow him to proceed
in forma pauperis if he continued to bring the same frivolous lawsuits again and
again. Warren v. Federal Gov’t, 4:13-CV-1878-CEJ (E.D. Mo.). This case is no
different from his previous cases. Consequently, the Court will deny plaintiff’s
motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and will dismiss this action without
prejudice to refiling as a fully-paid complaint. See In re Tyler, 839 F.2d 1290, 1292
(8th Cir. 1988) (“Judicial resources are limited in the short run and need to be
protected from wasteful consumption. Frivolous, bad faith claims consume a
significant amount of judicial resources, diverting the time and energy of the judiciary
away from processing good faith claims.”).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in
forma pauperis [Doc. # 2] is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED, without
prejudice.
Dated this 14th day of March, 2014.
