No. 4:14-CV-1301 CEJ

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Over the past eleven months, plaintiff has filed numerous delusional and
frivolous cases in this Court regarding a religiously-motivated conspiracy against
his family.1 The instant complaint—like those that preceded it—contains garbled
claims of terrorism, racism, Satanism, and various torts, as well as a claim that the
defendants are trying to murder plaintiff and his family because they are preachers
of the gospel. Plaintiff seeks “999 hundred trillion dollars” in 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-CV-1643-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) (AJudicial 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.
An order of dismissal will be filed separately.
Dated this 6th day of August, 2014.
