Text: 8 In his appeal Goad asserts every conceivable challenge to the actions of the trial court. He contests everything, including the dismissal of the claims against Judge Delaney, his courtroom staff, and the corrections officials based on judicial immunity; the failure to find the actions of private attorneys to be state action; and the dismissal of counts as insufficient to support a claim of a deprivation of a constitutional right under section 1983. He even challenges the application of a local rule that views the failure to respond to a motion for summary judgment as a representation of no opposition. 9 This appeal is patently frivolous and is dismissed as such. Loc.R. 42.2. The motions seeking to strike portions of Judge Delaney's brief and requesting that the court take judicial notice of adjudicative facts are denied. Goad's campaign to prevent his former wife from receiving what is rightfully hers, which succeeds only in wasting scarce judicial resources and harassing innocent citizens, must cease. Toward that end, monetary sanctions will be imposed against him in favor of all appellees in accordance with Rule 38 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. We remand to the district court for the setting of the proper amount as to each appellee. We further direct all clerks of court under the jurisdiction of this court to refuse to accept any further filings from Roland Lee Goad which in any way involve the payment of a portion of his Air Force retirement benefits to his former wife unless a judge of this court, or a judge of the forum district, first specifically authorizes the filing. 10 APPEAL DISMISSED, Loc.R. 42.2; sanction order ENTERED; matter REMANDED for entry of further sanctions under Fed.R.App.P. 38.
