In re DOMINICK,

Case No. 20-mc-80001-WHO 

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION; DISMISSNG

ACTION WITH PREJUDICE

Re: Dkt. No. 4

On February 20, 2020, Magistrate Judge Donna M. Ryu issued a Report and 

Recommendation, recommending that Petitioner Anthony Dominick, Jr.’s miscellaneous Petition

seeking a determination that he is a “sovereign citizen” be dismissed with prejudice as his claims 

are wholly unsubstantial, devoid of merit, and frivolous. Dkt. No. 4. 

Prior to issuing the Report and Recommendation, Judge Ryu issued an Order to Show 

Cause (OSC) explaining why the action was frivolous and without merit, and providing Dominick 

an opportunity to justify his Petition and the relief he seeks. Dkt. No. 2. Dominick filed a 

response to the OSC on February 10, 2020. Addressing all of the significant arguments Dominick 

asserted in his OSC response, Judge Ryu’s Report and Recommendation explains in detail why 

Dominick’s Petition and requested relief are without merit and frivolous. 

This matter was reassigned to me on February 21, 2020, and Dominick filed an opposition 

to the recommended dismissal on March 9, 2020. Dkt. No. 6.

Having considered the Report and Recommendation, as well as Dominick’s opposition, I 

adopt the Report and Recommendation in every respect. Judge Ryu has thoroughly explained why 

Dominick’s Petition and requested relief are wholly unsubstantial, devoid of merit, and frivolous. 

The Petition is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and this miscellaneous case CLOSED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 11, 2020
