No. CV 07-1546-PHX-SMM (GEE)

ORDER

Plaintiff Dale Maisano, who is confined in the Arizona State Prison Complex-Yuma,

has filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and an Application to

Proceed In Forma Pauperis. The Court will dismiss the Complaint and this action without

prejudice.

I. Failure to Comply with "Abusive Litigant" Pre-Filing Order

Plaintiff has so often and egregiously abused the legal process in the past that on

August 11, 1992, the Court entered an Order and Restraining Order enjoining him from filing

any civil action in this or any other federal court without first obtaining leave of the court.

See Order of August 11, 1992, Maisano v. Lewis, CV 92-1026-PHX-SMM (MS). To obtain

leave to file, Mr. Maisano must file an “Application Pursuant to Court Order Seeking Leave

to File” accompanied by an affidavit certifying: (1) that the claim or claims presented are

new and have never been raised and disposed of on the merits by any federal court; and (2)

that to the best of his knowledge, the claim or claims presented are not frivolous or taken in

bad faith. Additionally, any application for leave to file must be accompanied by a copy of

The Court notes that Plaintiff appealed the final judgment in CV 92-1026-PHX-SMM

(MS) to the Ninth Circuit. The Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal on March 12, 1993.

- 2 -

the August 11, 1992 Order and Restraining Order in Maisano v. Lewis, CV 92-1026-PHXSMM (MS).1

As he has done on numerous occasions in the past, Plaintiff has in this case ignored

the Court mandated pre-filing requirements. Accordingly, the Complaint and this action will

be dismissed without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Court’s prior Order

and Restraining Order. 

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Complaint (Doc. #1) and this action are

dismissed without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the pre-filing

requirements set out in the Court’s Order and Restraining Order of August 11, 1992, in

Maisano v. Lewis, CV 92-1026-PHX-SMM (MS).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall enter judgment and close

this file accordingly.

DATED this 15th day of August, 2007.
