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 seeks a

court order for somebody to be subjected to a lie detector test. 

Mr. Grimes alleges no cognizable causes of action in this

complaint. 

Because the above-captioned complaint concerns a matter

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.

 1 The Court also notes that at least one page of the 

complaint contains a caption for a Louisiana State Court and 

another contains a caption for the United States District Court 

for the Middle District of Florida and the complaint describes

events that took place in Florida. Accordingly, it is not clear 

that this Court is the appropriate venue for any claims arising 

out of these events.
