23 Misc. 410 (JPC)
ORDER

JOHN P. CRONAN, United States District Judge:
Tyrell Jones, who is appearing pro se, initiated this matter as a miscellaneous case. 1 Dkt.
1 at 1. Jones styles his lead submission as “Notice of Reservation of Rights and Notice of Intent
To Sue,” id. (all capitalization removed), and he also has filed an affirmation and affidavits, Dkts.
2, 5-6. Jones contends, inter alia, that he is “not a ‘person,’” that he has not “contracted away
[his] sovereignty,” and that as a “free Sovereign,” he is not required to have a driver’s license to
travel by car for non-commercial purposes. Dkt. 1 at 3-5. Jones demands that he be placed on a
“Do Not Detain” list to avoid “threat, duress, intimidation, or possibly even death” in the event he
is “pulled over” while driving. Id. at 2.
Jones’s application is not proper as a miscellaneous matter and cannot proceed on the
miscellaneous docket. Accordingly, the Court orders that this miscellaneous case be closed and
that the application be opened as a new civil action. Any pending motions are denied without
prejudice.

1

Jones paid the $49.00 filing fee applicable to miscellaneous cases.

Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to treat Plaintiff’s applications, Dkts. 1-2, 5-6,
as a new civil action and close this miscellaneous case. No further filings will be accepted in this
miscellaneous action. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this
Order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the
purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962).
SO ORDERED.
