MICHAEL A. BRUZZONE,

Plaintiff,

v.

Defendant.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C) and Local Rule 304, this 

Court has conducted a review of this case. Having carefully reviewed this matter, the Court finds 

the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

adopted in full;

2. Defendant’s motion to dismiss (ECF No. 6) is GRANTED and Plaintiff’s complaint is 

dismissed without leave to amend;

3. Defendant’s motion to declare Plaintiff a vexatious litigant (ECF No. 7) is

GRANTED;

4. Plaintiff is declared a vexatious litigant and must submit for pre-filing review any pro 

se complaint to be filed in the Eastern District of California against Intel Corporation; 

5. The Court ISSUES the following pre-filing order:

a. Any future filing of any kind by Plaintiff in the United States District Court for 

the Eastern District of California shall contain the following words in all capital 

letters at the top of the front page: “PLAINTIFF HAS BEEN DECLARED A 

VEXATIOUS LITIGANT IN CASE NO. 2:21-cv-1539-TLN–CKD-PS.” If a 

proposed filing does not contain that heading, the Clerk of the Court shall lodge 

(not file) it and the Court shall not review it; any incomplete filings shall be 

returned to Plaintiff without further action of the Court;

b. If Plaintiff submits an action as a self-represented Plaintiff accompanied by the 

required heading, then the Clerk of the Court is directed to open the matter as a 

miscellaneous case to be considered by the General Duty Judge of this Court. The 

Duty Judge shall determine whether the case constitutes pro se litigation by 

Plaintiff against Intel; if so, then the Duty Judge shall dismiss the action without 

comment pursuant to this pre-filing order. If the complaint does not constitute pro 

se litigation by Plaintiff against Intel, then the Duty Judge shall order the Clerk to 

file the complaint as normal;

c. The requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) shall be waived if Plaintiff’s 

filing is made on his behalf by a licensed attorney at law in good standing who 

signs the filing as the attorney of record for Plaintiff; and

6. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.
