In re Am. Grand Jury, No. 3:09-mc-00215 (M.D. Tenn. Nov. 6, 2009) (summarily rejecting grand jury “presentment” challenging President Obama’s eligibility to serve as President as having no force under U.S. Constitution or law).
*Note that the string cite has not been updated for more than a year as of today’s date. However, once updated, it will be found at the same link. **The docket for one Judd case and one Strunk case remains open. However, while technically “pending” in that the docket remains open, the cases either have never been litigated (Judd), or the relive requested in the complaint/initiating document has been denied. Therefore, we have designated these cases as non-pending. 1

Note: American Grand Jury has attempted to file multiple additional “presentments,” in at least the following courts: Alabama Federal Court – Southern District (Donald Gaines); California Federal Court – Central District (Armando Carranza); Connecticut Supreme Court (Unknown); Florida Federal Court – Northern District (Norman Caron); Kansas State Court (Wichita/18th Judicial District) (Bradley Kramer); New Hampshire State Court (Salem District) (Unknown); New Hampshire Federal District Court (Daniel Hunt); Tennessee Federal Court – Western District (Donald McDougall); Middle District Texas Federal Court – Western District (Lesley Lawson). To date, however, there is no indication that any of these courts have accepted the documents as filed and, therefore, they are not “pending.” H

Note: We previously counted this case as a “birther case.” We did so based on some secondary reporting on the case, which was the only information available at the time because the docket was “sealed” and not available to the public. However, it has since become available and our review indicates that although the plaintiffs clearly sought to prevent Obama from serving as President, they did not base their opposition on any birther theories; rather, the apparent basis was the fact that Obama is not white. Therefore, we have removed this case from the “count,” while keeping the RECAP/related information available for archival purposes. Last Updated: August 11, 2015

Note: This case was apparently filed as an original action in the Supreme Court in June 2009. However, it was never docketed. It was subsequently included as an exhibit in document #69, filed in Barnett v. Obama (C.D. Cal.) on September 21, 2009. We treat this case in the same manner as the various “grand jury presentments” (see supra, Note 5) - i.e., given that it was never officially docketed and considered by the court, it does not “count” as a case for purposes of the Scorecard. However, we include it here, with a link to the filing for reference purposes. Last Updated: August 11, 2015

Note: According to some websites, Fitzpatrick has filed a few complaints against Obama, including, most recently, a “criminal complaint” reportedly filed with the Clerk of Court, Catawba County, NC, File #09R81 (see American Grand Jury (“AGJ”) Article). To date, no official record (docket, etc.) has been located; and court personnel could not confirm the accuracy of these reports. Jul 1, 2010 Update: While we did not find any official docket of this case, the subsequent prosecution of Fitzpatrick makes clear that he did, in fact, attempt to file a criminal complaint against Obama, but was rejected. See, e.g., Bill Poovey/AP, “Cases :involving attempted citizen’s arrest delayed,” as published online by the Washington Examiner (June 29, 2010). H

Judd v. State Board of Elections of Virginia et al, No. 1:11-cv-00618 (E.D. Va. 2011 Aug. 8, 2012 order) (denying motion for relief from judgment seeking, among other things, removal of Obama from 2012 general election ballot on “natural born citizen” grounds; finding that “Plaintiff’s Motion to remove President Barack Obama from the 2012 ballot and to award all delegates to plaintiff, which is predicted on allegations that Obama was not born in the United States and is not a United States citizen, will be denied as frivolous”).
Judd has filed more than 50 election cases and, in August 2012, filed motions for relief from prior judgments in which he alleged that Obama is not a “natural born citizen” and sought to remove Obama from 2012 election ballot. We did not include all these cases in the scorecard because the vast majority of them were summarily dismissed given that Judd has been declared a vexatious litigant. For a complete listing of known Judd cases, however, see below. 15

Roy v. Fed. Election Comm’n, 2:08cv01519, 2008 WL 4921263 (W.D. Wash. Nov. 14, 2008) (dismissing case challenging eligibility of Obama and McCain).

Note: Kamal Kama Roy has filed well over a dozen lawsuits, many naming Obama. Although the pleadings are utterly unintelligible, at least a few of his pleadings have included references to various birther claims. The courts always dismiss these cases, typically sua sponte, a frivolous and unintelligible, shortly after he files them. H

[Noting that Judd had previously been declared vexatious litigant] …”In this circumstance, plaintiff’s complaint was dismissed without prejudice on procedural grounds. His complaint would not have been dismissed if he had shown that he was in imminent danger of serious physical injury. He did not do so at that time and does not do so now. Instead, plaintiff raises arguments which may have been appropriate had his complaint been dismissed on the merits. Thus, he has failed to “demonstrate a justification for relief so compelling that the district court was required to grant [the] motion.” Id. at 806. Accordingly, his motion is DENIED.”

“…Petitioner now moves for relief from judgment under the Twenty-Fourth Amendment, to amend the court order to register all convicted and incarcerated felons, and for an order to remove Barack Obama from the State’s 2012 presidential primary election ballot/caucus and award all delegated to himself, a Democratic presidential candidate. *** The Court finds nothing in Plaintiff’s allegations in his motion to reconsider that merits reconsideration. Plaintiff’s arguments regarding a convicted felon’s right to vote were previously addressed in the order of dismissal.

The Court determined Plaintiff had three or more civil actions or appeals dismissed as frivolous, and as such, was barred from bringing a civil action without prepayment of fees “unless the prisoner is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Plaintiff did not show he was in imminent danger of serious physical injury, and the case was dismissed. His appeal was dismissed for failure to prosecute. . . . Plaintiff now moves for relief from judgment, requesting the restoration of the right to vote for felons (released or incarcerated) and to remove President Barack Obama from the 2012 Presidential ballot. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), the court may relieve a party from a final judgment for mistake, inadvertence, newly discovered evidence, fraud, void judgment, satisfaction of judgment, or any other reason that justifies relief. Plaintiff does not specify the reason for seeking relief from judgment, and neither is the court able to identify any meritorious basis for granting relief from judgment.

Recommendation: “…On August 6, 2012, Judd filed a document with the court captioned “Motion for Relief from Judgement or Order Under Twenty Fourth Amendment; and Motion to Amend for Court Order to Register All Convicted and Incarcerated Felons to Vote in All Federal Elections and Caucuses and Democratic National Convention; and for Order to Remove Barack Obama from State’s 2012 Presidential Primary Election Ballot/Caucus and Award All Delegates to Keith Judd, Democratic Presidential Candidate.” *** In his motion, Judd does not assert any of above enumerated grounds for granting him relief or otherwise show exceptional circumstances warranting such relief. Rather, he reasserts the claims set forth in his proposed complaint and further asserts a challenge to President Obama’s citizenship. Rule 60(b) is “not a vehicle for simple reargument on the merits.” Broadway v. Norris, 193 F.3d 987, 990 (8th Cir. 1999).

The August 3, 2012 Motion [Doc. No. 32] is denied. The judgment [Doc.

In the current motion, Plaintiff fails to address any of the bases for the Order and the subsequent Judgment. Instead, he asserts arguments having nothing to do with the requirements for in forma pauperis status or the findings set out in the July 30, 2012 Order and subsequent Judgment. The August 23, 2012 Motion [Doc. No. 38] is stricken, as it is merely a duplicate of the August 3, 2012 Motion.

Oklahoma RECAP | PACER
On August 8, 2012, or more than ten (10) months after dismissal of the appeal, Plaintiff filed a “motion for relief from judgment or order under Twenty Fourth Amendment” (Dkt. # 16). He requests the Court to order, inter alia, that all convicted and incarcerated felons be registered to vote, that President Barack Obama be removed from the 2012 presidential ballot, and that all delegates be award to Plaintiff. Plaintiff never paid the $350 filing fee for this action. This Court has determined, on numerous occasions, that Plaintiff is subject to the three-strikes rule of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). He has not provided any relevant legal authority to support a claim that the statute is unconstitutional or does not apply to him. For all the reasons discussed in prior Orders (Dkt. #s 3 and 7), the Court finds that Plaintiff’s arguments asserted in his motion for relief from judgment under the Twenty Fourth Amendment are frivolous and without merit. His motion shall be denied.”

Court Decision on Motion “Plaintiff initiated this suit on May 25, 2011, seeking an injunction forcing his placement on Oregon's 2012 presidential primary election ballot and a declaration that convicted felons have a right to vote in the primary. Plaintiff also sought in forma pauperis (IFP) status which the court denied without prejudice due to a failure to provide the correct form. After the court provided plaintiff with the correct form, plaintiff refused to complete the application and the court dismissed the case on July 15, 2011. On September 16, 2011, plaintiff appealed. On October 18, 2011, the Ninth Circuit found the appeal "so insubstantial as to not warrant further review." On October 20, 2011, plaintiff sought leave to appeal IFP. The court denied the motion in light of the previous orders in the case. Plaintiff now seeks relief from the judgment and an order to register all convicted/incarcerated felons to vote in all 2012 elections and to remove Barack Obama from Oregon's presidential ballot. To date, plaintiff has not paid a filing fee or obtained IFP status. However, in anticipation of a denial of the motion, plaintiff has already filed a notice of appeal to the Supreme Court. To the extent this court still has jurisdiction to rule on the motion, the motion is denied.”

Court Decision on Motion “Plaintiff Keith Russell Judd is an inmate at the Federal Correctional Institute in Texarkana, Texas. After the court denied the plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), and the plaintiff failed to submit the $350 filing fee, this matter was dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the plaintiff’s appeal for want of prosecution on January 20, 2012. Now before the court is a motion for relief from judgment (ECF No. 25). The plaintiff does not specify under which rule of civil procedure the motion was filed, but the court construes the motion as filed pursuant to Rule 60(b). *** The present motion does not present any basis for reconsideration of the judgment previously entered against the plaintiff, and certainly does not address any of the grounds recognized by Rule 60 as providing a legitimate reason for relief from judgment. The plaintiff’s motion is utterly frivolous, and the court declines to consider it. The motion (ECF No. 25) is hereby DENIED.

Plaintiff’s appeal of that dismissal has also been dismissed. Plaintiff has since brought two frivolous motions, seeking reconsideration of his claims in this action.

West Virginia RECAP | PACER
On January 18, 2012, the Court entered an Order and Judgment adopting the Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge James E. Seibert, and dismissing without prejudice the pro se petitioner Keith Russell Judd’s (“Judd”) 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint (dkt. no. 14). More than six months later, on August 2, 2012, Judd filed the pending motion seeking, inter alia, relief from judgment. (Dkt. No. 18). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) provides that a court may, upon motion or upon such terms as are just, relieve a party from a final judgment, order, or proceeding … *** Here, Judd has failed to specify what provision of Rule 60(b), if any, he relies upon for his motion. Instead, he simply reiterates the same frivolous arguments the Court rejected over six months ago. Accordingly, the Court DENIES his motion (dkt. no. 18).”

West Virginia RECAP | PACER
Plaintiff does not allege any basis for relief under 60(b)’s subparts. Though his renewed argument that the Twenty-Fourth Amendment trumps the PLRA’s application in this case could perhaps be interpreted as alleging legal error in the Court’s previous Memorandum Opinion, legal error is not a ground for relief under Rule 60(b). See Russell v. Delco Remy Div. of Gen. Motors Corp., 51 F.3d 746, 749 (7th Cir. 1995). Further, this argument is as utterly meritless now as it was when the Court issued its earlier Memorandum Opinion. Having previously held that Plaintiff cannot proceed in this action without paying the requisite filing fee, the Court will not revisit its September 6, 2011 Memorandum Opinion or its accompanying Judgment Order.
