VINCENT ROSENBALM,

Petitioner,

v.

ED FOULK, 

CEO of Napa State Hospital,

Respondent. /

No. C 08-3436 SI (pr)

ORDER 

This action was dismissed and judgment was entered on December 15, 2008. 

Nonetheless, petitioner has continued to file documents in this action, including statements

about events in his state court criminal case and his conditions of confinement at the Napa

State Hospital, as well as about disputes he has with the Ukiah police department and

Mendocino County Sheriff's Department. The court already explained to petitioner that the

claims were deficient for the reasons explained in the Order of Dismissal in this action, as

well as in the Order of Dismissal in Rosenbalm v. Foulk, No. C 07-4197 SI. 

Petitioner also requested restitution and victim's services under 18 U.S.C. § 3771,

urging that what happened to him – in his state court criminal case, in his dealings with

police and sheriff's deputies, in his dispute with his landlord, and in his commitment to Napa

State Hospital – was downright criminal. The request is DENIED because he does not come

within the scope of the statute. See 18 U.S.C. § 3771(e) (defining a "crime victim" for

purposes of the statute as "a person directly and proximately harmed as a result of the
