v.

BRUCE IVES, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:15-mc-80172-EJD 

ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO FILE 

COMPLAINT

Plaintiff Kuang-Bao P. Ou-Young (“Plaintiff”) has been deemed a vexatious litigant and is 

subject to a pre-filing order which requires him to “obtain leave of court before filing any further

action. See Docket Item No. 2, Case No. 5:15-mc-80149-BLF. 

The court therefore finds that the instant claims are barred by the pre-filing order. 

Accordingly, leave to file the Complaint is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
