UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID ANTHONY FALLON,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT,

Defendant.

CIV. S-05-1326 GEB PAN PS

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

—NFN—

On June 30, 2005, plaintiff filed a declaration entitled

“Forma Pauperis Application” which states, “I, David Anthony

Fallon, hereby state that I have $280.00 in cash and personal

property of little value.” The accompanying complaint seeks “one

trillion dollars” from the U.S. Government due to plaintiff’s

status as an “injured victim of crime, going to the local police

station to report that crime, and being refused medical

treatment.”

Plaintiff’s declaration fails to provide sufficient

information for this court to assess plaintiff’s financial status

and therefore fails to demonstrate plaintiff is unable to pay the

filing fee without compromising his ability to provide himself

and his dependents with the necessities of life. See 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(a)(1); Adkins v. E.I. Dupont de Nemours & Co., 335 U.S.

331, 339 (1948). Moreover, plaintiff’s complaint fails to state

a claim upon which relief may be granted. See 28 U.S.C. §§

1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). 

Accordingly, I recommend that plaintiff’s application to

proceed in forma pauperis be denied and the Clerk of Court

directed to close this file. 

Additionally, I recommend plaintiff be ordered to show

cause why he should not be sanctioned. Plaintiff has filed

twenty-four actions in this court since 1996; this is the fourth

of plaintiff’s applications to proceed in forma pauperis assigned

to this judge within the last three months. Like those before,

the instant application is not only inadequate (plaintiff again

fails to utilize the detailed applications authorized by the

court) but is attached to a complaint that seeks extraordinary

damages from the federal government for actions that fail to

state a claim for relief. In my findings and recommendations

filed June 6, 2005, in Civ. S-05-979 WBS PAN PS, I cautioned

plaintiff he may be sanctioned if he continued to file such

matters. Additionally, all of plaintiff’s papers are handwritten

and difficult to decipher. In Civ. S-05-979 WBS PAN PS, Judge

Shubb rejected plaintiff’s objections, denied plaintiff’s

application and dismissed plaintiff’s complaint on the ground

“the court cannot read plaintiff’s handwriting on any of his

pleadings.”

Accordingly, I further recommend plaintiff be ordered,

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(c)(1)(B), to show cause in writing

within ten (10) days of service of this order why he should not

be fined $50.00 for again filing an incomplete application to

proceed in forma pauperis and a proposed complaint that fails to

state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the

Honorable Garland E. Burrell, Jr., the United States District

Judge assigned to this case. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Written

objections may be filed within ten days after being served with

these findings and recommendations. The document should be

captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and

Recommendations.” The failure to file objections within the

specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s

order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

Dated: July 27, 2005.
