IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PATRICK A. MISSUD,

Plaintiff,

 v.

WAYNE LAPIERRE, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 14-01223 WHA

ORDER DENYING

RULE 60(b) MOTION 

In 2012, Attorney Patrick Missud was declared a vexatious litigant. Missud v. San

Francisco Superior Court, No. 12-cv-3117, 2012 U.S. Dist. Lexis 137351, at *9–*10 (N.D. Cal.

Sept. 24, 2012). In 2013, the vexatious litigant order was expanded to make all of Missud’s

filings in this district subject to pre-filing review by the undersigned judge. Missud v. National

Rifle Association, No 13-mc-80263, Dkt. No. 4 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2013). In July 2013, he was

placed on involuntary inactive status with the State Bar of California. The State Bar decision

states that Missud “has total disdain for the legal profession and the judicial process.” In the

Matter of Patrick Alexandre Missud, No. 12-O-10026-LMA (Cal. St. B. July 1, 2013).

In April 2014, an order granted defendants’ motion to dismiss this action on the basis that

his complaint was incoherent and failed to state a claim (Dkt. No. 29). In March 2015, Our court

of appeals summarily affirmed (Dkt. No. 41). Now, more than a year later, Missud seeks to set

aside the judgment under Rule 60(b). To the extent comprehensible, Missud’s argument is a

plainly frivolous attempt to resurrect this vexatious litigation based on no more than alleged
