MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC
REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., et

Defendants.

Plaintiff has commenced a third lawsuit relating to the foreclosure of his property, this

16 time in Clark County. Plaintiff had commenced two earlier suits: under this cause number, the
17 Court dismissed Plaintiff’s numerous claims. In a second suit, Hanson v. Mortgage Electronic
18

Registration Systems, Inc., No. 12-cv-5995-RBL, Plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the same claims.
Defendants request an injunction under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, ordering Plaintiff to

19
20

dismiss his state-court suit because it is barred by the doctrine of res judicata.
The Court is sympathetic to Defendants’ position; however, their Motions are properly

21 directed to the Clark County superior court. See Samson v. NAMA Holdings, LLC., 637 F.3d
22 915, 937 n.93 (9th Cir. 2011) (noting that action under the All Writs Act should be reserved of
23

“extraordinary” causes).

ORDER - 1

Defendants’ Motions for Injunction (Dkts. #44, 47) are DENIED.
