ORDER GRANTING

DEFENDANT’S MOTION

TO DISMISS

Defendant National City Mortgage Co. moves to dismiss the

“Petition for Libel Review of an Administrative Judgment” filed by

Plaintiffs Jaime and Rosa Araujo. Plaintiffs have not filed an

opposition to Defendant’s motion. Having considered Defendant’s

papers, the Court GRANTS the motion.

Plaintiffs’ petition is largely unintelligible. Although it

purports to seek review of a foreign judgment, it does not

identify any such judgment. And while Plaintiffs cite a broad

range of statutes, the Constitution and the Bible, the primary

bases for the petition appear to be maritime and admiralty law.

actions that may have taken place on navigable waters.

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure, the petition is dismissed for failure to state a

claim. Because any amendment would be futile, the dismissal is

with prejudice. The hearing scheduled for May 8, 2008 is vacated. 

The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment for Defendant and close

the file. Each party shall bear its own costs.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
