No. 14-40945

Civ. P. 8(a). Lindsay’s largely unintelligible brief on appeal cannot cure, and 

does not even address, these deficiencies in his pleading. His appeal is 

accordingly DISMISSED.

Here is my Amended Complaint. Motion to policy under the fundamental 

philosophy of the American constitutional form of representative government 

that adheres to the principle that government is the servant and not the 

master of the people. Citing page 2 of 115 of Government Code Subchapter A. 

General Provisions.
