IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

In re: JEROME GRIMES 

________________________________/ 

 

No. C 16-80104M CW 

ORDER RETURNING 

COMPLAINT TO 

PLAINTIFF 

On December 9, 2005, this Court entered a pre-filing order 

regarding the cases filed by Plaintiff Jerome Grimes. The prefiling order states that if Mr. Grimes files a complaint that is 

“related to any of the following matters: 

(1) a diversified group of individuals who commit acts 

of terror against Mr. Grimes, his family and other 

citizens; 

(2) an injunction against the defendants to prevent 

them from kidnaping, framing, falsely imprisoning or 

otherwise terrorizing Mr. Grimes, his family, and other 

citizens; 

(3) a court order for the defendants to be subjected to 

a lie detector test; 

(4) covert terrorism 

it will not be filed unless it presents cognizable claims that 

are not based on merely conclusory allegations. Second, no other 

complaints filed by Mr. Grimes while he is not incarcerated or 

detained will be filed unless they contain intelligible factual 

allegations and claims for relief.” 

The Court has reviewed the above-captioned complaint filed 

by Mr. Grimes and finds that it shall not be filed because it 

alleges that Defendants are engaged in covert terrorism. Mr. 

Grimes alleges no cognizable causes of action in this complaint.

Because the above-captioned complaint concerns matters 

mentioned in the pre-filing order and presents no cognizable 

cause of action, the Clerk of the Court is ordered not to file 

it.1 Instead, the complaint shall be returned to Mr. Grimes. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

 The Court also notes that at least one page of the complaint contains a caption for the United 

States District Court for the District of New Jersey and the complaint appears to be based on 

events that took place in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Texas and Louisiana. Accordingly, it 

is not clear that this Court is the appropriate venue for any claims arising out of these events.
