UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD M. BIRD,

NO. CIV. S-05-264 LKK

Plaintiff, U.S.C.A. NO. 05-16543

v. O R D E R

RICHARD SCHEULER, Superior

Court Judge, 

Defendant.

 /

This matter was referred back to the District Court by the

Court of Appeals for the limited purpose of determining whether the

appeal has been taken in good faith.

Plaintiff brought this complaint against Superior Court Judge

Richard Schueler. Plaintiff alleged various constitutional

violations which stemmed from Judge Scheuler denying plaintiff’s

request for a jury trial on a traffic ticket. Plaintiff’s second

amended complaint was entitled “constitutional ignorance” and

contained neither a demand for judgment nor a statement of the

claim showing how plaintiff is entitled to relief. Instead, the

complaint focused entirely on the shortcomings of the state and

federal judiciaries. As plaintiff’s complaints are more a vehicle

to vent his frustrations with the judiciary rather than a genuine

attempt to fashion a pro-se claim for relief, his appeal is not

taken in good faith.

The Clerk is directed to serve a copy of this order on the

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: September 21, 2005.
