ORDER

v.
WARREN KLINT,

Defendant.

16
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss. Dkt. # 6.
17
This case has been consolidated with a nearly identical notice of removal that Klint filed
18
on April 12, 2017 in front of Judge Robart. See Bank of New York Mellon v. Klint, et al.,
19
C17-00565-JLR.
20
Defendant Klint is well known to this Court. He has attempted several times—
21
without merit—to remove the matter of his eviction to this Court. See Bank of New York
22
Mellon v. Klint, C16-0017-RAJ (Dkt. No. 12 at 3) (finding this Court lacks jurisdiction);
23
Bank of New York Mellon v. Klint, C16-0588-RSL (Dkt. No. 11 at 1) (concluding
24
Defendant fails to justify his repeated attempts at removal); Bank of New York Mellon v.
25
Klint, C16-1192-JCC (Dkt. No. 5 at 1–2) (finding current removal “patently meritless”
26
and warning Defendant that further attempts at removal may result in sanctions under
27

ORDER- 1

1 Fed. R. Civ. P. 11); Bank of New York Mellon v. Klint, C16-1440-JCC (Dkt. No. 10)
2 (imposing sanctions and entering a vexatious litigant order against Klint). Prior to these
3 most recent removal attempts, Judge Coughenour deemed Klint to be a vexatious litigant
4 and ordered him to “seek and obtain this Court’s written permission before bringing any
5 removal or federal action.” Bank of New York Mellon v. Klint, C16-1440-JCC (Dkt. No.
6 10 at 3). Klint failed to seek such permission.

The Court GRANTS Plaintiff’s Motion. Dkt. # 6. The Court DISMISSES this

8 matter as void and upholds the prior Order directing Klint to seek and obtain written
9 permission from this Court before filing any additional removal or federal action related
10 to the current eviction. Any further attempts by Klint to remove this matter without first
11 obtaining written permission from this Court will be dismissed as void.

13 Court imposes sanctions in the amount of $1,200, to be paid to Plaintiff.
