No. CV-06-2241-PHX-SMM (VAM)

ORDER

Plaintiff Dale Frank Maisano, confined in the Pinal County Jail, has filed a pro se civil

rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. #1) and an uncertified Application to

Proceed In Forma Pauperis. 

I. Failure to Comply with "Abusive Litigant" Pre-Filing Order

Plaintiff has so often and egregiously abused the legal process in the past that on August

11, 1992, the Court entered an Order and Restraining Order enjoining him from filing any

civil action in this or any other federal court without first obtaining leave of the court. See

Order of August 11, 1992, Maisano v. Lewis, CV 92-1026-PHX-SMM (MS) (D.Ariz.). To

obtain leave to file, Mr. Maisano must file an “Application Pursuant to Court Order Seeking

Leave to File” accompanied by an affidavit certifying: (1) that the claim or claims presented

are new and have never been raised and disposed of on the merits by any federal court; and

(2) that to the best of his knowledge the claim or claims presented are not frivolous or taken

in bad faith. Additionally, any application for leave to file must be accompanied by a copy

The Court notes that Plaintiff appealed the final judgment in CV 92-1026-PHX-SMM (MS)

to the Ninth Circuit. The Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal on March 12, 1993.

- 2 -

of the August 11, 1992 Order and Restraining Order in Maisano v. Lewis, CV 92-1026-PHXSMM (MS).1

As he has done on numerous occasions in the past, Plaintiff has in this case ignored the

Court-mandated pre-filing requirements. Accordingly, this action will be dismissed for

Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Court’s prior Order and Restraining Order. 

IT IS ORDERED that the Complaint (Doc. #1) and this action are dismissed without

prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the pre-filing requirements set out in the

Court’s Order and Restraining Order of August 11, 1992, in Maisano v. Lewis, CV 92-1026-

PHX-SMM (MS), and the Clerk of Court must enter judgment and close this file

accordingly.

DATED this 29th day of September, 2006.
