REARDON v. ZONIES et al
Filing
46
OPINION. Signed by Judge Noel L. Hillman on 7/18/2016. (dmr)(n.m.)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
JOHN E. REARDON,
Plaintiff,
v.
CIVIL NO. 15-8597 (NLH/KMW)
MAGISTRATE ZONIES, et al.,
OPINION
Defendants.
1.
On January 1, 2016, pro se Plaintiff John E. Reardon
filed a motion for “equity relief” [Doc. No. 8].
2.
Plaintiff requests: (1) an order allowing him to post
signs in “all Municipal Courts”; (2) the right to inform all
municipal court judges of their “constitutional limit[s]” to try
offenders; (3) the right to notify any municipal court that the
state cannot enforce certain motor vehicle-related laws; (4) an
order requiring the state and court to explain the legal and
factual basis for certain prosecutions; (5) the right to go into
any municipal court and serve the court with a copy of these
orders; and (6) the right to enter any court and post a sign and
notify judges about various motor vehicle-related issues.
Plaintiff also requests “equity relief” for the Defendants
failure to respond to the complaint and injunctive relief.
3.
Plaintiff has not explained a good faith basis to
receive the relief he requests at this time, and these requests
will be denied as premature.
Additionally, Plaintiff has
consented to vacating the default entered against Defendants,
and Defendants were ordered to respond to Plaintiff’s complaint
by August 15, 2016.
(See July 13, 2016 Scheduling Order [Doc.
No. 43].)
4.
Further, Plaintiff’s request for an injunction will
be denied. Plaintiff failed to address the factors the Court
must consider in deciding whether to issue a preliminary
injunction: (1) whether the movant has shown a reasonable
probability of success on the merits; (2) whether the movant
will be irreparably injured by denial of the relief; (3) whether
granting preliminary relief will result in even greater harm to
the nonmoving party; and (4) whether granting the preliminary
relief will be in the public interest.
Gerardi v. Pelullo, 16
F.3d 1363, 1373 (3d Cir. 1994).
5.
For these reasons, Plaintiff’s request for “equity
relief” will be denied.
An appropriate order will be entered.
