UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

United States of America
v.

Civil No. 10-cv-308-JD

C. Gregory Melick
O R D E R
On August 6, 2011, the court ordered C. Gregory Melick,
a/k/a Charles Gregory Melick (“Melick”), to obey the IRS summons
issued on February 26, 2010, and to appear on August 20, 2010, at
9:30 a.m. at 80 Daniel Street, Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

When

Melick failed to appear as ordered, the court ordered Melick to
appear in Courtroom 1, Warren B. Rudman Courthouse, 55 Pleasant
Street, Concord, New Hampshire, at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, February
14, 2011, to show cause why he should not be held in civil
contempt for failure to comply with the court’s order of August
6, 2010.

Melick also failed to appear on that date as ordered,

and the court issued a bench warrant for Melick’s arrest on
February 15, 2011.
Since the bench warrant issued, Melick, who is proceeding
pro se, has made several filings in the case but remains at
large.

Most recently, papers titled “Petition for Redress of

Grievances in Support of Motion to Dismiss” and “Order of
Dismissal with Prejudice” were sent to the clerk’s office.

The

“Petition” is signed by ten individuals who are not parties to
this case and who are not identified as counsel for Melick.

Neither the “Petition” nor any accompanying document is signed by
Melick.
Every paper filed in a case must be signed by an attorney of
record or be signed personally by an unrepresented party.
R. Civ. P. 11(a).

Fed.

The ten individuals who signed the “Petition”

are not attorneys of record or parties and lack standing to
participate in this case.

Because the “Petition” and proposed

order are not signed by a party in this case or his attorney of
record, neither can be accepted as a filing in this case.

Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, the “Petition” and proposed order
are rejected as filings in this case and shall not be docketed.
The clerk of court shall return the “Petition” and proposed order
to Charles Gregory Melick, along with a copy of this order, to
the return address provided on the mailing envelope:

General

Delivery, Chocorua Post Office, Chocorua, New Hampshire.
A copy of this order shall also be mailed to Melick at the
last address shown on the docket.
SO ORDERED.
