George Freeman appeals pro se the partial grant of summary judgement for
some defendants and the dismissal of his civil rights action against the City of
Seattle, its officers, Seattle University, broadcasters and news organizations,
and a community improvement group, alleging they engaged in a race based
conspiracy to prevent him from opening a disco dance club. The district court
entered the following judgments:
We have jurisdiction to hear this appeal under 28 U.S.C. 1291 and we affirm
the judgments of the district court for the reasons set forth in the thorough and
well-reasoned orders, dated April 25, 1990, May 10, 1990, and October 11,
1990 (2), issued by the court in conjunction with these judgments and on the
basis of the unopposed motions.
We also strike the lis pendens filed by Freeman on appeal. There is simply no
proper basis for the lis pendens. Freeman's action does not affect title to real
property, see R.C.W. 4.28.320, and filing a lis pendens in anticipation of a
money judgment is prohibited in Washington. Bramall v. Wales, 29 Wash.App.
390, 628 P.2d 511, 514 (1981).
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for submission on the record
and briefs and without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a) and Ninth Circuit
Rule 34-4
