Sramineus Homo, U.S. Vessel, 

Libellant,

v.

CHASE HOME FINANCE and JAMIE DIMON,

U.S. Vessel,

Libellees.

 /

No. C 07-5904 CW

ORDER GRANTING

DEFENDANTS'

MOTION TO DISMISS

Defendants Chase Home Finance, LLC and Jamie Dimon move to

dismiss the "Petition for Libel Review of an Administrative

Judgment" filed by Plaintiff Homero Velasquez Saabedra. On March

3, 2008, the Court entered an order taking the motion under

submission on the papers, setting March 20, 2008 as the deadline

for Plaintiff's opposition and stating, "Failure by Plaintiff to

timely file an opposition to the motions may result in the granting

of the motions." Plaintiff did not file an opposition. Having

considered Defendants' papers, the Court GRANTS Defendants' motion.

Although Plaintiff purports to seek review of a foreign

judgment, he does not identify any such judgment in his petition.

Plaintiff cites a broad range of statutes, the Constitution and the

Bible in support of his petition. However, the primary bases for

his petition appear to be maritime and admiralty law. As

Defendants note, any such claims fail because Plaintiff has not

identified any actions that may have taken place on navigable

waters. 

Accordingly, the petition is dismissed for failure to state a

claim pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). 

Because any amendment would be futile, the dismissal is with

prejudice. The Clerk of the Court shall close the file. All other

pending motions shall be terminated Each party shall bear its own

costs. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 4/10/08
