Ha-Rakhmon Azizi v. United States Dept. of Justice

Opinion

O

HA-RAKHAMON AZIZI, ET AL., No. CV 25-7562-CAS(E)

Plaintiffs,

v. ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR LACK

UNITED STATES DEPT. OF JUSTICE, ET OF SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION AL., Defendants.

On August 13, 2025, Plaintiff,1 proceeding pro se, paid the filing fee and filed a voluminous Complaint against numerous Defendants, including “United States Dept. of Justice,” the Beverly Hills Police Department, the Los Angeles Police Department and “Torat Hayim Synagogue.” This Complaint, like complaints previously filed by Plaintiff and previously dismissed with prejudice,2 is largely incomprehensible and wholly insubstantial. ///

1 The Court references Ha-Rakhamon Azizi as Plaintiff. “Yahouda Azizi,” whose name also appears in the caption, did not sign the Complaint and is indicated in the caption to have “Passed on.” 2 See Azizi v. American Government, et al., No. CV 09-6677-CAS(CT), Azizi v. American Government, et al., No. CV 10-2108-CAS(E), Azizi v. The U.S. of America, et al., The present Complaint vaguely asserts, inter alia, “‘mind manipulation,” “disrespecting the Creator,” “hostage taking,” the “sabotaging of religious articles,” the stealing of “inventions” (including inventions relating to electric cars and trains) and the implantation of hair on Plaintiff's body. Plaintiff appears to seek millions of dollars, as well as, perhaps, injunctive relief. “A paid complaint that is ‘obviously frivolous’ does not confer subject matter jurisdiction [citation]... .” Franklin v. Murphy, 745 F.2d 1221, 1227 n.6 (9th Cir. 1984) (citing Hagans v. Lavine, 415 U.S. 528, 536-37 (1974)); see also Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 327 n.6 (1989); Bell v. Hood, 327 U.S. 678, 681-82 (1946); Franklin v. Oregon Welfare Div., 662 F.2d 1337, 1342-43 (9th Cir. 1981); O’Brien v. United States Dep't of Justice, 927 F. Supp. 382, 384 (D. Ariz. 1995), aff'd, 76 F.3d 387 (9th Cir. 1996). Dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is proper when the federal claim is “so insubstantial, implausible, foreclosed by prior decisions of this Court, or otherwise completely devoid of merit as not to involve a federal controversy.” Steel Co. v. Citizens fora Better Env’t, 523 U.S. 83, 89 (1998) (citations and internal quotations omitted). Dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction may occur sua sponte. Fiedler v. Clark, 714 F.2d 77, 78 (9th Cir. 1983). The manifest insubstantiality of the present Complaint deprives this Court of subject matter jurisdiction. This jurisdictional defect could not be cured by amendment. Therefore, IT || |S ORDERED that the reference to the Magistrate Judge is vacated, and this action is dismissed with prejudice.
