Sonja Mullerin v John Hayter, et al.

,1:12-cv-00190-SPM-GRJ Florida state court alleged to operate as a corrupt RICO enterprise District Clerk would not issue summons for Florida judges Mullerin v Hayter alleges a Florida state court operated as a corrupt RICO enterprise. The Plaintiff alleged a Florida court deprived her of rights under 42 U.S.C. 1983 through a pattern of racketeering activity to benefit a local attorney and law firm that used the court for asset stripping - to obtain fraudulent court orders requiring money or property to be transferred from the true owners - persons targeted by the enterprise - to the law firm and its clients. The suit alleges the Alachua County Florida court was not operated in an effective and expeditious manner for which it was created by statute - but as a corrupt RICO enterprise for the private benefit of the law firm and its clients. This case also shows the District Clerk would not issue summons in a lawsuit against Florida judges.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA GAINESVILLE DIVISION SONJA MULLERIN, Plaintiff, v. JOHN HAYTER, et al., Defendants. _____________________________/ ORDER This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs Motion for Order Directing Issuance of Summonses (Doc. 19). Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, has also written a letter to the Court regarding her case. (Doc. 20). Plaintiff alleges violations of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C. 1961-1968 and of her civil rights under 42 U.S.C. 1983. Plaintiffs claims stem from state civil court proceedings involving a dispute with her landlord. She contends that her landlord and her landlords attorney violated RICO by using the courts to strip Plaintiff of her assets and that the attorney, three state court judges, and a judicial assistant conspired to obstruct justice and violate Plaintiffs civil rights. The state court proceedings were pending at the time Plaintiff filed her complaint. Plaintiff requests damages, permanent injunctive relief, and attorneys fees. (Doc. 16.) Plaintiff was previously denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Docs. 14, 17) and subsequently paid the full filing fee (Doc. 15). In her Motion for Order Directing Issuance of Summonses (Doc. 19), Plaintiff advises the Court that she asked the Clerk CASE NO. 1:12-cv-190-SPM-GRJ

Case 1:12-cv-00190-SPM-GRJ Document 21 Filed 01/15/13 Page 2 of 3

to issue summonsesthough she did not present the Clerk with completed summons formsand the Clerk refused, telling Plaintiff she would need a court order to proceed with service. Plaintiff requests the Court to issue an order directing the Clerk to issue summonses for defendants in this case. Shortly thereafter, Plaintiff wrote a letter addressed to the District Judge explaining that her only remedy would be to go to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals with a request for mandamus, but she would be agreeable to voluntarily dismissing her case if the Court refunded her $350.00 filing fee. (Doc. 20). Plaintiff is advised that she may voluntarily dismiss the instant action pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1). Such a dismissal could be effected without order of the court and would be without prejudice. However, Plaintiff would not be entitled to a refund of her $350.00 filing fee. Plaintiff is also concerned that a voluntarily dismissal of this case would be considered a previous dismissal under Rule 41 if she should initiate the suit in the future and attempt to voluntarily dismiss that suit. Pursuant to Rule 41, that would be the effect and a second voluntary dismissal of the same claims would operate as an adjudication on the merits. Voluntary dismissal of the instant case would be without prejudice and would not be considered an adjudication on the merits. Given this clarification, Plaintiff will be given 14 days to advise the Court whether she wishes to pursue this case1 or file a notice of voluntary dismissal. Meanwhile, a ruling on Plaintiffs motion to direct issuance of summonses will be deferred. Upon due consideration, it is ORDERED:
1

If Plaintiff wishes to pursue this case, before sum m onses will be issued the Court will address whether this case should be dism issed in its entirety for lack of subject m atter jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim .

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA GAINESVILLE DIVISION SONJA MULLERIN, Plaintiff, v. JOHN HAYTER, et al., Defendants. _____________________________/ ORDER This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs Notice of Dismissal. (Doc. 22.) Pursuant to the Courts January 15, 2013 Order (Doc. 21) directing Plaintiff to advise the Court of whether Plaintiff intends to pursue this case or file a notice of voluntary dismissal, Plaintiff has filed a Notice of Dismissal providing notice that the case is dismissed. Although Plaintiff characterizes the dismissal as an involuntary dismissal the dismissal constitutes a voluntary dismissal under Rule 41(a)(1)(A) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A) a plaintiff may dismiss an action without court order by filing: (I) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment. The Rule provides that the dismissal is without prejudice. The notice of dismissal is self-executing without further court action. Accordingly, this case is dismissed without prejudice and the Clerk is directed to CASE NO. 1:12-cv-190-SPM-GRJ
