Order Denying Motion
[ECF No. 1]

Defendants

10

Pro se plaintiff Mark Clifford Sykes has filed a “motion for liquidation of Mark Clifford

11

Sykes Trusts.” It appears that Sykes seeks to revoke two separate trusts, which he claims are valued

12

at $ 18 million. Sykes requests that the “Iowa State 8th District Chief Judge” be appointed to

13

“operate as the Protector of the Court” and for the liquidation and return of all of the assets.1 This

14

action has not been properly commenced because Sykes has not filed a complaint.

15

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Syke’s motion for liquidation of trusts [ECF

16

No 1] is DENIED. Sykes has until March 21, 2017, to file a complaint containing a short and plain

17

statement of the grounds for this court’s jurisdiction and the claim or claims showing that he is

18

entitled to the relief he seeks. If Sykes does not file a proper complaint by this deadline, this

19

case will be closed without further notice.

20

Dated this 8th day of March, 2017.
