Demos v. Holbrook

Opinion

a UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE JOHN ROBERT DEMOS, CASE NO. C20-0028JLR Petitioner, ORDER ADOPTING THE V. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION AND DONALD R. HOLBROOK, CLASINGY ale anak

Respondent. Before the court are (1) Bar-order litigant John Robert Demos’s proposed petition (Petn. (Dkt. # 1)); (2) Magistrate Judge Mary Alice Theiler’s Report and Recommendation recommending the court close the case (R&R (Dkt. # 2)); and (3) Mr. Demos’s objections to the Report and Recommendation (Obj. (Dkt. # 3)). Mr. Demos is “well-known locally and nationally as an abusive litigant. He is under pre-filing bar orders in a number of courts, including this Court, Eastern District of Washington, the Washington State courts, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court.” (See, e.g., Demos v. Storrie, 507 U.S. 290, 291 (1993).) Mr. Demos’s

objections do nothing to address the issue central to the Report and Recommendation, /namely the failure to pay a filing fee. (See generally Obj.) Additionally, Mr. Demos fails show the “imminent danger of serious physical injury” required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915 to proceed in forma pauperis. Accordingly, the court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation (Dkt. # 2) in full, DENIES Mr. Demos’s objections (Dkt. # 3), and DIRECTS the Clerk to close this ;}matter. The clerk shall send copies of this order to Petitioner and to Magistrate Judge Theiler. My Dated this 5 day of February, 2020. _ AN tens eC sh JAMES L, ROBART United States District Judge
