ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

_________________________________ 

Before CARSON, BALDOCK, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. 

_________________________________ 

Plaintiff-Appellant Jason Aron Presley, also known as Ernest John Young, filed 

a pro se complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Utah in June 

2019. The complaint appears to allege several grievances against approximately 44 

defendants, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the States of Utah and 

Tennessee, and Elvis Presley. In his complaint, Plaintiff alleges this is a “capital case 

of domestic violence by Vernon Presley who murdered Mallissa [sic] and Gladys 

Presley.” In June 2019, the district court granted Plaintiff’s application for leave to 

proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) and waived the prepayment of filing fees pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1915. In July 2019, the magistrate judge issued a Report and 

Recommendation, which recommended the complaint be dismissed for failure to state 

a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). Later that month, the district court 

overruled Plaintiff’s objection to the magistrate judge’s recommendation, adopted the 

recommendation in its entirety, and dismissed the action with prejudice. 

Plaintiff now appeals the final judgment, generally asserting the same rambling 

allegations concerning, inter alia, a murder on Graceland property involving Vernon 

Presley (Elvis’s father), the kidnapping of Plaintiff’s children by Lisa Marie Presley 

 * This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines 

of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for 

its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.

(Elvis’s only child), and attempts by the FBI and courts to keep this “capital case of 

domestic violence” a secret. In a well-reasoned Report and Recommendation, which 

the district court wholly adopted, the magistrate judge competently explained why 

Plaintiff’s incredible allegations—even under a liberal interpretation—fail to plausibly 

support any viable legal claim for relief. For the purpose of resolving this appeal, we 

have thoroughly reviewed the district court record and Plaintiff’s appellate brief, and 

we discern no reversible error. Where the district court accurately analyzes an issue, 

we see no useful purpose in writing at length. Therefore, exercising jurisdiction under 

28 U.S.C. § 1291, we AFFIRM for substantially the same seasons set forth in the 

district court’s order dismissing Plaintiff’s complaint.
