. Petitioner Renee D. Clouse appeals from a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims dismissing her appeal from a decision by the Board of Veterans’ Appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We have juri sdiction pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 7292(c). Because there was no final decision over which the Veterans Court could exercise jurisdiction, we affirm.
The parties do not dispute that the Board has repea tedly failed to provide adequate notice of its o rders throughout the pendency of Petitioner’s claims. We understand that these errors, which have caused substa ntial delay in the resolution of Petitioner’s claims, will be resolved . In addition, the Government confirmed during oral argument that Petitioner should not be prevented from presenting additional evidence to the Board prior to the issuance of a renewed final decision.

Because the Board decision that formed the basis for Petitioner’s appeal was properly vacated before a notice of appeal was filed, however, the Veterans Court did not have jurisdiction to hear the appeal. The decision of the Veterans Court to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdi ction is affirmed.

ORDER 

FILED 

DEC 1 8 2017 

U.S. COURT OF 

FEDERAL CLAIMS 

On August 21, 2017, plaintiff Kelly Scott Thomas-Bey, who is a prisoner 

proceeding pro se, filed a complaint in this court. Complaints filed in this court 

must be accompanied by either a $400 filing fee pursuant to Rule 77. l(c) of the 

Rules of the United States Court of Federal Claims (RCFC) or an application to 

proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. At the time Mr. ThomasBey filed his complaint, he attached a motion for leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis-which was granted by the Court on October 10, 2017. See ECF No. 6. 

On October 20, 2017, the government filed a motion to dismiss this case 

under RCFC 12(b)(l) and 12(b)(6), alleging that the plaintiff's claims fall outside of 

the court's jurisdiction or otherwise fail to state a claim upon which relief can be 

granted. ECF No. 7. A response was due from Mr. Thomas-Bey by November 17, 

2017, but Mr. Thomas-Bey failed to file any form of a response. 

Because Mr. Thomas-Bey has not responded to the government's motion to 

dismiss this matter, this case is DISMISSED for failure to prosecute under RCFC 

41(b). The government's motion to dismiss this case is therefore DENIED as moot. 

The Court notes, however, that even had Mr. Thomas-Bey responded to the 

government's motion, his complaint would still be dismissed for lack of subjectmatter jurisdiction because his claims are clearly frivolous. It appears that Mr. 

Thomas-Bey believes that his birth certificate is some kind of security instrument or 

7017 1450 DODD 1346 0492 
promissory note and that the government has prevented him from claiming a nd 

collecting its value. Compl. at 4-7, ECF No. 1. 

As the government points out, Mr. Thomas-Bey's claims rely on the 

"sovereign citizen" theory that birth certificates cr eate an entitlement to collect 

money from t he United States government. Mot. to Dismiss at 4. Plaintiff 

maintains that the issuance of his birth certificate resulted in financial transactions 

involving the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of 

Commerce . Compl. iii! 6-7. Such bizarre allegations have been found frivolous by 

our court. See Gravatt v. United States, 100 Fed. Cl. 279, 286-88 (2011). Thus, in 

any event, the Court would have been unable to entertain Mr. Thomas-Bey's 

assertions. See Bell v. Hood, 327 U.S. 678, 682-83 (1946) (explaining that a federal 

court may dismiss a case for want of jurisdiction when the "claim is wholly 

insubstantial and frivolou s"). 

The Clerk is directed to close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

# Rural Co-op Shines a Light on the Benefits of Solar Energy

Copied to clipboard

06.03.2021

Sustainability has been a fundamental tenant of the food cooperative movement since it began, and not only in terms of selling organic, sustainably-harvested food. Co-ops around the country are also turning to renewable energy. For the Astoria Co-op on the Oregon coast, that meant finding a way to offset the energy required to keep its products refrigerated. When the co-op began renovating its facility, it presented the perfect opportunity to install solar panels, but the cost exceed its budget.

The nonprofit Spark Northwest referred the co-op to the Rural Energy for America Program offered by USDA Rural Development. It was awarded a nearly $50,000 grant, enabling the co-op to install a 6o-kilowatt solar array on its roof. 

“It’s the cherry on top of our project,” said Matt Stanley, General Manager. “Throughout construction, we heard tremendous support from our customers and owners. Had we not gotten the USDA grant, then I don’t see how we would have done this.”

While people may not associate solar energy with Oregon’s coast, known for its overcast skies and rainfall, the co-op’s solar panels will generate energy from solar irradiance, even on cloudy days. Overall, they are expected to generate 69,000 kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity per year, enough to power the equivalent of six homes. It will replace about 25 percent of the co-op’s energy use with renewable electricity and help reduce its utility bill.

“It’s valuable not just because of the cost savings,” said Matt, “but also because it’s the right thing to do.” The co-op is sharing the results on its website, providing real-time data on the energy generated and its impact.

Construction was completed as pandemic restrictions began to ease and more people returned to shopping in person. “It’s a bright story in a dark time,” said Zetty Nemlowill, Marketing Director. “This solar project helps us live our message and protect the planet. I personally am very proud of it and know many of our staff are as well.”
