JOSEPH MATTHEW JONES, et al.,

Case No. C 05-05448 JF

ORDER1 DENYING PETITION FOR

REHEARING / RECONSIDERATION

/ EXTENSION OF TIME /

EVIDENTIARY HEARING

REGARDING MOTION TO

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

AND COURT’S LACK OF

JURISDICTION

[re: docket no. 18]

On December 5, 2005, this Court remanded Case No. C 05-01136 JF to the Monterey

Superior Court. In that case, Plaintiff Joseph Matthew Jones (“Joseph Jones”) sought removal to

this Court of Monterey County criminal case no. MS232951A, in which Joseph Jones has been

charged with battery with injury on a peace officer, California Penal Code § 243, and resisting,

obstructing, or delaying a peace officer, California Penal Code § 148(a)(1). 

On December 30, 2005, Joseph Jones and his mother, Alberta Rose Jones (“Alberta

Jones”), filed a “Notice of Second Removal” of Monterey Superior Court criminal case no.

Case No. C 05-05448 JF

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR REHEARING / RECONSIDERATION / EXTENSION OF TIME /

EVIDENTIARY HEARING REGARDING MOTION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS AND COURT'S LACK

OF JURISDICTION

(JFLC1)

MS232951A, “based on information not previously known or disclosed to the Court.” However,

the Court did not receive any documentation containing the information supporting the new

notice of removal. Joseph Jones also filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, upon

which the Court could not rule in the absence of information supporting the notice of removal.

On February 8, 2006, the Court issued an order requesting that Plaintiffs submit a written

statement describing the new information. On February 27, 2006, the Court issued an order

granting Joseph Jones’s request for an additional 30 days within which to file the statement. On

March 20, 2006, Joseph Jones filed a response to the Court’s order of February 27, 2006, in

which he made allegations that do not satisfy the requirements for removing a state criminal

prosecution to federal court. Accordingly, on March 22, 2006, this Court issued an order denying

Joseph Jones’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

On April 3, 2006, Joseph Jones filed a Petition for Rehearing / Reconsideration /

Extension of Time / Evidentiary Hearing Regarding Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis and

Court’s Lack of Jurisdiction. Joseph Jones requests that the Court grant him additional time to

file documents showing that this Court does not lack jurisdiction over the removal of his state

court criminal proceeding. However, Joseph Jones has had numerous opportunities to present

evidence and arguments in support of the removal of his state court criminal proceeding, both in

Case No. C 05-01136 JF and in the instant action. Moreover, the instant petition offers no new

information or legal arguments that would provide a basis for the Court to reconsider its Order of

March 22, 2006 or to hold an evidentiary hearing. Accordingly, it will be denied. If Plaintiffs

believe that this Court’s ruling is erroneous, they must seek relief in the Court of Appeals; no

further motions or requests for reconsideration will be entertained.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 5, 2006
