SAN JOSE DIVISION

Charles Woodhead,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Defendants. /

NO. C 07-03027 JW 

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITH

PREJUDICE

The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s pleading entitled “Petition for Agreement and Harmony

in the Nature of a Notice of International Commercial Claim Within the Admiralty Administrative

Remedy and Commercial Accounting and True Bill.”1 (See Docket Item No. 1.) It appears from the

documents submitted that Plaintiff is attempting to enforce a judgment against Defendants2

 in the

amount of $8,697,747,578,976,000,000.00 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1963. (Id.)

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1963, a judgment entered in any court of appeals, district court,

bankruptcy court, or in the Court of International Trade may be registered in any other district. To

register the judgment, the judgment creditor must file a certified copy of the judgment with the

district court. Id. Neither Plaintiff’s pleadings nor the exhibits submitted in support contain a

certified copy of any judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Court

orders this action DISMISSED.

The Court considers whether to grant Plaintiff leave to amend. A court may dismiss a

complaint without granting leave to amend only if it appears with certainty that the plaintiff cannot

state a claim and any amendment would be futile. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) (leave to amend “shall

be freely given when justice so requires”); DeSoto v. Yellow Freight Systems, Inc., 957 F.2d 655,

658 (9th Cir. 1992); Schreiber Distrib. Co. v. Serv-Well Furniture Co., 806 F.2d 1393, 1401 (9th

Cir. 1986). Here, Plaintiff purports to have had obtained a judgment in excess of $8.6 quintillion

against the United States District Court for the Central District of California, his claim is clearly

frivolous; any amendment would be futile.

Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED with prejudice. The Clerk shall close this file.
