Northern District of California

lawsuit, state or federal, Plaintiff has filed concerning the real property located at 18314 Baylor

Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause why the Court should not declare him a vexatious 

litigant. See De Long v. Hennessey, 912 F.2d 1144, 1147 (9th Cir. 1990) (requiring that a plaintiff

multiple judges in this District, against various parties that are obviously immune from suit based 

on previously rejected theories, and has prolifically filed patently frivolous motions along the 

way”). Plaintiff shall do so by February 13, 2015, in a written filing not to exceed fifteen (15) 

pages in length. Defendants may file a single response not to exceed ten (10) pages in length by
