Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY LOUISVILLE DIVISION THE ESTATE OF LORD TREYSHUN Plaintiff GARDNER v. Civil Action No. 3:25-cv-129-RGJ GOOGLE, INC. Defendant * * * * * MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER Pro se Plaintiff Estate of Lord Treyshun Gardner (“Gardner”)1 originally sued Google Inc. in state court [DE 1-1]. Summons was served by the Secretary of State on Google Inc. at the address provided, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043. [DE 1-1 at 19]. Google, LLC (“Google”) removed this case to federal court under diversity jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1332, 1441, and 1446, on March 4, 2025. [DE 1].2 In its removal, Google asserts that it was “improperly named in this action as Google, Inc.” [Id. at 1]. Google also asserts it “is a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043. Google LLC’s sole member is XXVI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway,

1 In Defendant’s removal, it is asserted that “[b]ased on information available, Plaintiff is a living individual, and not the representative of an estate for a deceased individual.” [DE 1 at 1]. After review of the overall pleadings and matching the address of the Plaintiff to various public records in Jefferson District Court, it appears that the Plaintiff is a living individual who ascribes to certain sovereign citizen beliefs and has chosen to use the estate language to avoid any appearance as a “federal citizen.” See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_citizen_movement. Specifically, in the Complaint, Plaintiff states, “Plaintiff Lord Treyshun The Estate Holder & Grantor of Gardner Sir Name,” and refers to himself in all capital letters, such as “Unjust Enrichments on behalf of the falsified Information and deals made on behalf without permission of any subject from the natural Person of TREYSHUN GARDNER.” [DE 1-1 at 10]. Moreover, Gardner appears to allege strawman and natural person theories commonly asserted by followers of the sovereign citizen movement. [Id. at 10-11]. 2 Google alleges that Gardner is a citizen of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and it is a citizen of Delaware and California. [DE 1 at 2-3]. Mountain View, California 94043.” [Id. at 2, ¶9]. Google attaches its Statement of Information filed with the California Secretary of State. [DE 1-2]. On March 11, 2025, Google timely pleaded, moving for dismissal with prejudice of Gardner’s claims under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6). [DE 7]. Gardner failed to respond to Google’s motion and the time for doing so has passed. Over a month after the response deadline,

Gardner moved for “Defaulted Judgement” [sic]. [DE 8]. Google timely responded, [DE 9], and Gardner did not reply and the time for doing so has passed. These matters are ripe. For the reasons below, Google’s Motion to Dismiss [DE 7] is GRANTED and Gardner’s Motion for Defaulted Judgment [DE 8] is DENIED. I. BACKGROUND3 Originally filed in Jefferson Circuit Court on January 17, 2025, Gardner’s complaint is difficult, at best, to understand. It appears to the Court that Gardner generally asserts that he has “been Gang Stalked by shareholders looking to Collect my strawman with Illegal Bribery practices trying to convince TREYSHUN GARDNER to allow my signature for a 3rd Party. Illegal

Malpractices and Misuse of medical information and medication Drugs to sodomize and to also compromise my wellbeing to not recognize my intelligence.” [DE 1-1 at 10]. In essence, much of the complaint appears to generally assert misuse or exposure of “Sensitive data.” [DE 1-1 at 12]. In addition, he alleges that Google “Dealing with Pfizer & Other NanoTech to Steal Intelligence Property From TREYSHUN GARDNER Estate A American Indian” and that Google has “us[ed] Nanos & Smartdust To Farm Body Heat To Create Currency.” [Id.]. As a result, Gardner “Demands Full Compensation, Investment, Profit, Interest, Return of Information

3 The factual allegations in the Complaint [DE 1-2] are considered true for purposes of this motion. See Tackett v. M & G Polymers, USA, LLC, 561 F.3d 478, 488 (6th Cir. 2009) (citing Gunasekera v. Irwin, 551 F.3d 461, 466 (6th Cir. 2009)). Property, Intelligence Property, Voice Notes & Music Property. Etc.,” as well as 10 billion in damages with the “Court” to “receive 10%.” [DE 1-1 at 13]. Google interprets the complaint as accusing it of “harvesting Plaintiff’s body heat for power and also ‘gang stalking’ him.” [DE 7 at 35]. II. DISCUSSION

Because Gardner’s motion for default [DE 8] addresses the entity which has pled by moving to dismiss [DE 7], the Court first addresses the motion for default. 1. Motion for Defaulted Judgement [sic] [DE 8] Gardner asserts that default judgment should be entered because the entity he specifically sued has not made an appearance. [DE 8 at 46]. As an initial matter, while the Summons served “Google, Inc,” this motion names the Defendant as “Alphabet INC (Google INC),” but the Court notes no summons have issued to Alphabet, Inc. (Google’s parent company). [Id.]. Specifically, Gardner states: It is stated that “Google LLC” has Appeared In place for “Alphabet Inc” Formerly Known As “Google Inc” In which “Google LLC” is a different entity than the corporation I’ve Summoned. The Corporation google changed its name to Alphabet Inc while Operating in Continuation as Google Inc still holds the same Responsibilities as its former Corporate Name. It has been Over 80 Days after the February 10th 2025 Serving of Papers March, 4, 2025 motion to removal from Civil Court To Federal Court In which Court was Attended on March, 10 2025. Id. As a result, Gardner requests default judgment and states “I would like to be rewarded 10Billion and donate 1 billion to Courts for fair Judgment.” [Id.]. Google responded in opposition that the motion was “frivolous,” that “Google timely responded to the complaint by filing its Motion to Dismiss within 7 days following removal,” and that “[w]hile Plaintiff seems to argue Google’s parent company, Alphabet, Inc., did not respond, Plaintiff identified “Google, Inc.” in the Complaint and Summons.” [DE 9 at 49]. A. Standard Rule 55 governs Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment “[w]hen a party against whom a judgment of affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend and that failure is shown by affidavit or otherwise . . .” Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 55(a). Where, as here, a case does not involve a sum certain, Rule 55 sets out a two-step process. First, the Clerk of Court must issue an

entry of default under Rule 55(a). Second, upon entry of default, if the plaintiff’s claim is not for a sum certain, he or she “must apply to the court for a default judgment” by filing a motion for a default judgment under Rule 55(b)(2). Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b)(1)-(2); I Love Juice Bar Franchising, LLC v. ILJB Charlotte Juice, LLC, No. 3:19-CV-00981, 2020 WL 4735031, at *3 (M.D. Tenn. Aug. 14, 2020). After the Clerk’s entry of default and the plaintiff’s motion for default judgment, the Court considers whether a default judgment is proper. Methe v. Amazon.com.dedc, LLC, 2019 WL 3082329, at *2 (S.D. Ohio July 15, 2019).
