ORDER 

DEFENDANTS 

Hill moved to voluntarily dismiss his complaint so he could exhaust his 

administrative remedies. NQ 20. Magistrate Judge Deere recommended that 

the Court grant the motion. NQ 21. 

Hill has objected to getting what he asked for. His objections are 

extensive - 20 pages worth, with 90 more pages of attachments. Hill makes 

many points: he argues the merits of his claims against the many defendants; 

he argues that Judge Deere should have recused, as he requested; he argues 

that his complaint and amended complaint were acceptable; and he argues 

that he has pleaded imminent danger sufficiently such that the Court should 

allow him to proceed in forma pauperis notwithstanding his three strikes. NQ 

23. 

On de nova review, Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3), the Court dismisses Hill's

complaint without prejudice. First, he has three strikes* and has not pleaded 

any imminent danger adequately. Second, his complaint and amended 

complaint violate Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a). They are too long and too 

complicated. Michaelis v. Nebraska State Bar Association, 717 F.2d 437, 438-39 

(8th Cir. 1983). Bringing together almost 200 various claims against 60 

defendants is simply not a manageable lawsuit. Judge Deere gave Hill three 

opportunities to propose an amended pleading, which trimmed things down 

and clarified his claims. NQ 4, 12 & 15. Hill did not do so. Third, the record 

presents no basis supporting the disqualification of Judge Deere. 

Whether to dismiss his case is Hill's choice. The Court construes his 

objection as a request to withdraw his motion. Request granted; the motion 

to dismiss, NQ 20, is deemed withdrawn; and the recommendation, NQ 21, is 

declined. Having considered all the filings of record, however, the Court 

dismisses Hill's complaint without prejudice for noncompliance with Rule 8 

and because he didn't pay the filing fee and can't proceed IFP.
