United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERNESTO MIGUEL HEREDIA,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF SANTA CLARA,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-mc-80083-JD 

ORDER RE PREFILING REVIEW

Re: Dkt. No. 1

Plaintiff Ernest Miguel Heredia is subject to a vexatious-litigant order in this district. Case 

No. 18-cv-1237-EJD, Dkt. No. 23, at 12. Judge Edward Davila imposed a pre-filing review 

requirement for any further suits in our district.

The Court has reviewed the proposed complaint lodged under this case name and number, 

and finds that it falls within the scope of the vexatious-litigant order. Further, it is similar to 

Heredia’s prior lawsuits, which also asserted frivolous claims of employment discrimination. See

Case No. 18-cv-1237-EJD, Dkt. No. 23, at 8-9 & nn.2-4.

Consequently, the complaint may not be filed. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this 

matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 10, 2020
