OFFICER and THEIR PRINCIPAL,

Plaintiffs/Libelants. /

ORDER DENYING MOTIONS AND

DISMISSING ACTION

On August 10, 2006, Petitioner/Claimant Roy Albert Lewis was convicted by jury verdict of one

count of conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 371) and four counts of tax evasion (26 U.S.C. § 7201). See U.S. v.

v. Roy Albert Lewis, No. CR 05-0638 SI. His motion for judgment of acquittal or, alternatively, for new

trial was heard on January 29, 2007 and denied by written order dated February 9, 2007. His sentencing

was scheduled for February 23, 2007.

This pro se civil action, titled “Libel of Review, Answer of Roy Albert Lewis and CrossComplaint” and invoking this court’s admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, was filed on February 16,

2007. Included in the documents filed was a motion for a “special restraining order” and preliminary

injunction, which would, among other things, stay and restrain further prosecution of the criminal action

against Roy Albert Lewis.

This action, and the motions filed with it, are entirely without merit and Petitioner/Claimant

Lewis cannot possibly win relief. Accordingly, the motions [docket entries 3 and 4] are DENIED and

sponte under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) . . . . Such dismissal may be made without notice where the
