Decision by Court. This action came to trial or hearing before the Court. The issues have been tried
or heard and a decision has been rendered.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
Due to plaintiffs inabilityor unwillingnessto file a complaint that complies with Rule 8, the court
finds that granting further leave to amend would unduly prejudice defendants. Accordingly,
defendants pending motions to dismiss are granted, and this action is dismissed with prejudice.

This matter comes before the court on the omnibus motion to dismiss filed by
21 defendant San Diego County Bar Association and on the joinders and supplemental
22 motions of additional defendants. [Doc. Nos. 131, 134-135, 137-152.] Also before the
23 court is plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injunction and certain defendants motion
24 for sanctions. [Doc. Nos. 109, 160.]

BACKGROUND
This action was initiated in August 2013. [Doc. No. 1.] The original complaint
27 totaled 175 pages (plus 1156 pages of exhibits) and named about fifty defendants. After
28 hearing oral argument on several defendants motions to dismiss, the court dismissed

1 the original complaint with leave to amend. The complaint was dismissed as to the two
2 corporate plaintiffs, Lexevia, PC and California Coalition for Families and Children,
3 because corporations must appear in court through an attorney. D-Deam Ltd. PShip
4 v. Roller Derby Skates, Inc., 366 F.3d 972, 973-74 (9th Cir. 2004); CivLR 83.3(k). The
5 court dismissed plaintiff Colbern C. Stuarts claims because he failed to comply with
6 Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In affording plaintiffs leave to amend,
7 the court noted that while Stuart proceeds pro se, he was formerly a licensed attorney
8 with a complex litigation practice and should be capable of crafting a complaint in
9 compliance with Rule 8.
10
11 2014.1 [Doc. No. 90.] California Coalition is now represented by counsel Dean
12 Browning Webb. Plaintiffs amended complaint totals 251 pages, with 1397 more
13 pages in exhibits. The allegations generally relate to four occurrences: Stuarts
14 dissolution proceedings, his criminal prosecution, events at a San Diego County Bar
15 Association seminar, and defendants demands that Stuart remove references to judges
16 home addresses in the original complaint. About sixty defendants are named, some of
17 whom are referenced only several times throughout the complaints 1200-plus
18 paragraphs. For instance, defendant Steven Jahr, identified as the Administrative
19 Director of the Administrative Office of the Courts, is mentioned by name in only seven
20 paragraphs. [Id. 12, 698, 700, 702, 738, 915k, 931.] Similarly, the only factual
21 allegations against defendant Meredith Levin are that she is an attorney licensed to
22 practice in California and an organizer of the SDCBA seminar. [Id. 43, 110, 152,
23 915nn.]
24
Plaintiffs divide their complaint into fifteen counts, an additional eleven RICO
25 counts, and two counts for prospective relief. Each of the first fifteen counts is further
26 divided into claims. For example, Count 1 is broken down into Claims 1.1 through
27 1.13. In total, plaintiffs assert about 75 claims in their first 15 counts.

2 plaintiffs accuse well over fifty defendants (including judges, attorneys, doctors, social
3 workers, and law-enforcement officers) of conspiring to commit racketeering activity
4 including enticement into slavery, sale into involuntary servitude, transportation of
5 slaves, and service on vessels in slave trade, 18 U.S.C. 1583-1586. [Id. 1000.]

Further, as with the original complaint, plaintiffs fill the amended complaint with

20 FFRRESA (Federal Family Rights Reform, Exercise, Support, and Advocacy), FICRO (Federal
21
Indictable Civil Rights Offenses), and SAD (Scheme and Artifice to Defraud).

For instance, plaintiffs provide their own definitions for the following terms: ACCESS TO
Plaintiffs repeatedly use terms like black hat, false flag, kite bombs, paperwads, and
poser advocacy.

In their motions to dismiss, defendants argue many grounds for dismissal, some
Rule 8 requires a pleader to put forth a short and plain statement of the claim
7 showing that the pleader is entitled to relief. Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). As this court
8 noted in its previous order dismissing the original complaint, the Ninth Circuit has
9 affirmed dismissal on Rule 8 grounds where the complaint is argumentative, prolix,
10 replete with redundancy, and largely irrelevant, McHenry v. Renne, 84 F.3d 1172,
11 1177-80 (9th Cir. 1996), verbose, confusing and conclusory, Nevijel v. North Coast
12 Life Ins. Co., 651 F.2d 671, 674 (9th Cir. 1981), or where it is impossible to designate
13 the cause or causes of action attempted to be alleged in the complaint, Schmidt v.
14 Herrmann, 614 F.2d 1221, 1223 (9th Cir. 1980). Further, the Ninth Circuit has
15 affirmed dismissal with prejudice for failure to obey a court order to file a short and
16 plain statement of the claim as required by Rule 8, even where the heightened standard
17 of pleading under Rule 9 applied. McHenry, 84 F.3d at 1178 (citing Schmidt, 614 F.2d
18 at 1223-24); see also Nevijel, 651 F.2d at 673.
19
Here, in dismissing the original complaint, the court noted that while Stuart
20 proceeds pro se, he was formerly a licensed member of the California bar with a
21 complex litigation practice. [Doc. No. 88 at 9.] Thus, the court informed Stuart of its
22 expectation that his amended complaint would comply with Rule 8. [Id.] Instead,
23 plaintiffs amended complaintwhich was signed by Stuart and by Dean Browning
24 Webb as attorney for California Coalitionis even longer than the original and remains
25 unmanageable, argumentative, confusing, and frequently incomprehensible. [Doc. No.
26 90.]
27
Plaintiffs repeated failure to comply with Rule 8(a) prejudices defendants, who
28 face the onerous task of combing through [plaintiffs lengthy complaint] just to prepare

3 Dynamics C4 Sys., Inc., 637 F.3d 1047, 1059 (9th Cir. 2011). And plaintiffs
4 noncompliance harms litigants in other matters pending before the court. Rule 8(a)
5 requires parties to make their pleadings straightforward, so that judges and adverse
6 parties need not try to fish a gold coin from a bucket of mud. Federal judges have better
7 things to do, and the substantial subsidy of litigation (court costs do not begin to cover
8 the expense of the judiciary) should be targeted on those litigants who take the
9 preliminary steps to assemble a comprehensible claim.
11
12
Plaintiffs original complaint was dismissed in part for failure to comply with
13 Rule 8(a)s requirement of a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the
14 pleader is entitled to relief. Though the court afforded plaintiffs an opportunity to
15 amend their complaint to comply with Rule 8, plaintiffs filed an equally unmanageable
16 amended complaint. Due to plaintiffs inabilityor unwillingnessto file a complaint
17 that complies with Rule 8, the court finds that granting further leave to amend would
18 unduly prejudice defendants. Accordingly, defendants pending motions to dismiss are
19 granted, and this action is dismissed with prejudice. In light of this dismissal, the court
20 denies plaintiffs motion for preliminary injunction. [Doc. No. 109.]
21
Finally, the court has reviewed the motion for sanctions filed by the Superior
22 Court of California, County of San Diego and the Administrative Office of the Courts.
23 [Doc. No. 160.] Although the court finds that plaintiffs amended complaint fails to
24 comply with Rule 8, and the amended submission is even more unmanageable than the
25 original (despite the courts admonishment that plaintiffs rid the pleading of its
26 voluminous surplusage and argumentative text), the court does not conclude that
27
6
District judges are busy, and therefore have a right to dismiss a complaint that is so long
28 that it imposes an undue burden on the judge, to the prejudice of other litigants seeking the judges
attention. Kadamovas v. Stevens, 706 F.3d 843, 844 (7th Cir. 2013).

15
Plaintiffs move for leave to take the deposition of Stephen D. Lucas, counsel for
16 defendant San Diego County Bar Association. [Doc. No. 164.] Plaintiffs argue that
17 good cause supports the requested relief because, they contend, Mr. Lucas made
18 improper representations in the memorandum in support of defendants omnibus motion
19 to dismiss and in his declaration. [Id. at 3.]
20
No cause exists for the requested relief. If any party has submitted material
21 inappropriate at this stage for consideration, the court will not consider it. Plaintiffs
22 motion [Doc. No. 164] is denied.

This matter came before the court on December 19, 2013 for a hearing on the
18 Superior Court defendants motion to dismiss [Doc. No. 16] and motion for sanctions
19 [Doc. No. 23]1; the motion to dismiss of defendants Commission on Judicial
20 Performance, Brad Battson, and Lawrence J. Simi [Doc. No. 22]; and on plaintiffs
21 motion to strike [Doc. No. 19.] This order memorializes matters discussed at the
22 hearing. To the extent this written order conflicts with anything said at the hearing, this
23 written order governs.
24
For the reasons set forth below, the motions to dismiss are granted in part and

The Superior Court defendants are (1) Superior Court of California, County of San Diego;
(2) Honorable Robert J. Trentacosta, Presiding Judge of the Superior Court; (3) Michael M. Roddy,
Executive Officer of the Superior Court; (4) the Honorable Lisa Schall; (5) the Honorable Lorna A.
Alksne; (6) the Honorable Christine K. Goldsmith; (7) the Honorable Jeannie Lowe (ret.); (8) the
Honorable William H. McAdam, Jr.; (9) the Honorable Edlene C. McKenzie; and (10) the Honorable
Joel R. Wohlfeil. [Doc. No. 16-1 at 9.]

BACKGROUND
Plaintiffs Colbern C. Stuart, California Coalition for Families and Children
5 (California Coalition), and Lexevia, PC filed their complaint on August 20, 2013.
6 [Doc. No. 1.] Stuart is a co-founder, the president, and the Chief Executive Officer of
7 California Coalition. [Id. 105.] Stuart also founded Lexevia, a professional law
8 corporation, in 2008. [Id. 107.]
9
10 involved in San Diegos family-law community, including judges, lawyers, law firms,
11 psychologists, social workers, and various state and municipal entities. On August 26,
12 2013, the court sealed the complaint because plaintiffs had listed the home addresses
13 of several judges.
14
The complaint totals 175 pages, with an additional 1156 pages in exhibits and
Though the complaint lacks focus, plaintiffs claims appear to arise mainly out
19 of two events: an April 2010 San Diego County Bar Association (SDCBA) seminar
20 and plaintiff Colbern Stuarts divorce proceedings. The factual allegations as to these
21 events follow.

The San Diego County Bar Association hosted a seminar on April 15, 2010, with
3 the theme: Litigants Behaving BadlyDo Professional Services Really Work? [Doc.
4 No. 1 114-16.] Members of plaintiff California Coalition learned of the seminar in
5 advance and decided to organize a demonstration outside the seminar to engage
6 professionals involved with the family law community.
7 California Coalition created pamphlets and signs to display at the seminar, adopting the
8 counter-theme: Judges Behaving BadlyIf You Dont Follow The Law, Why Would
9 We? [Id. 118-19.] Defendants learned of California Coalitions intention to
10 demonstrate outside the seminar prior to the event. [Id. 124.]
11
12 distributed pamphlets to attendees. [Id. 124-127.] Plaintiff Stuart did not gather
13 outside with other California Coalition members but instead entered the seminar. [Id.
14 127.] At the time of the seminar, Stuart was a member of the SDCBA, and he had
15 purchased admission through the SDCBAs online store. [Id.] About 100 legal
16 professionals attended the seminar. [Id. 129.] In addition, approximately 15
17 uniformed Sheriffs deputies were present and moved closer to Stuart once he selected

22 something out. [Id.] Judge Alksne then walked to the back of the conference room
23 and conferred with several defendants. [Id. 131, 132.] Soon two security officers
24 employed by defendant Off Duty Officer, Inc. approached Stuart, confirmed that he was
25 Colbern Stuart, and then asked Stuart to leave the seminar. [Id. 133.] Stuart refused.
26 [Id.] The two security guards then went back to the huddle and soon returned with two
27 Sheriffs deputies. [Id. 135.] When Stuart again refused to leave, the men forced
28 Stuart to stand, grabbed his arms, forced his hands behind his back, and handcuffed

The officers released Stuart outside of the SDCBA building and told him he

Stuarts Divorce
10 Sharon Blanchet and Judge Wohlfeil, plaintiff Stuart hired defendant Doyne, Inc. to
11 mediate his divorce. [Doc. No. 1 216, 232, 237, 238.] Judge Wohlfeil oversaw the
12 Stuart dissolution until December 2008, when the matter was transferred to defendant
13 Judge Schall. [Id. 240.]
14
Doyne, Inc. made various representations in its contract with Stuart, for instance
15 that the mediation process would be completed in a month or two and that fees and
16 expenses would not exceed the initial $5,000 retainer. [Id. 217(F), (G).] Stuart
17 asserts that Doyne, Inc. breached the contract in June 2009 by, among other things,
18 extending the mediation for a longer period than was agreed to, filing false reports with
19 San Diego Countys child protective services alleging that Stuart had held his son
20 upside down over a balcony, and causing Stuart to lose custody of his son. [Id. 220.]
21 As a result, on about March 1, 2009, Stuart terminated Doynes services. [Id. 221.]
22 Stuart alleges that, in retaliation, Doyne attempted to extort money from Stuart and
23 made false statements in a hearing relating to Stuarts son. [Id. 224.] In addition, in
24 May 2009, Doyne telephoned Stuart at his home and requested that Stuart pay Doyne
25 for services he falsely claimed to have provided. [Id. 225.]

1 the common law. The Superior Court defendants filed their motion to dismiss on
2 September 30, 2013. [Doc. No. 16.] The Commission on Judicial Performances moved
3 to dismiss on November 14, 2013. [Doc. No. 22.] Ten more motions to dismiss were
4 subsequently filed and scheduled for hearing on January 24, 2014. [Doc. Nos. 48, 49,
5 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 62, 67, 73. ] As set forth below, however, the court dismisses the
6 entire complaint and therefore deems those latter ten motions withdrawn.

DISCUSSION
8 A.
Plaintiffs California Coalition and Lexevia are each identified in the complaint
On August 26, 2013, I received a voice mail message from Mr. Webb. In
his message, Mr. Webb informed me that Mr. Stuart used his name on the
Complaint without his permission. Mr. Webb confirmed this information
to me in subsequent telephone conversations and indicated that he
intended to call the federal Clerk of Courts office to advise that office that
he had not agreed to represent plaintiffs in this case.
26 held December 19, 2013. Because plaintiffs California Coalition and Lexevia do not
27 appear through counsel, the court DISMISSES their claims without prejudice.

1 B.
The court also DISMISSES plaintiff Stuarts claims without prejudice for failure
3 to comply with Rule 8(a)(2), which requires a short and plain statement of the claim
4 showing that the pleader is entitled to relief. Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). Here, plaintiffs
5 violate Rule 8(a)(2) in at least three ways.
6
First, because plaintiffs assert most of their claims on behalf of all three plaintiffs,
7 neither the court nor defendants can distinguish Stuarts asserted harm from the
8 corporations. See, e.g., Doc. No.1 148, 150, 157, 161, 171, 175, 179, 183, 190, 192,
9 204, 206, 208, 215, 347, 349, 352, 354, 356, 358, 360, 366, 368, 370, 372, 374, 385
10 (As an actual and proximate result, PLAINTIFFS have been HARMED.) Because
11 the corporations have been dismissed for failure to obtain counsel, and the complaint
12 does not identify the individual harm Stuart suffered for each claim, Stuart does not set
13 forth plain statements of his claims showing that he is entitled to relief.
14
Second, Stuart fails to clearly identify each separate claim for relief. Count One,
21 [Doc. No. 1 141.] The court cannot discern just how many separate state and federal
22 claims Stuart intends to assert here. Further, Stuart fails to connect his factual
23 allegations to the numerous causes of action identified. If Stuart sincerely means to
24 assert that defendants violated his First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and
25 Fourteenth Amendment rights, he must identify the factual allegations that support each
26 alleged violation.

Here, plaintiffs complaint totals 175 pages, with an additional 1156 pages in
The judge wastes half a day in chambers preparing the short and plain
statement which Rule 8 obligated plaintiffs to submit. [The judge] then
must manage the litigation without knowing what claims are made against
whom. This leads to discovery disputes and lengthy trials, prejudicing
litigants in other case[s] who follow the rules, as well as defendants in the
case in which the prolix pleading is filed. [T]he rights of litigants
awaiting their turns to have other matters resolved must be considered....
Nevijel, 651 F.2d at 675; Von Poppenheim, 442 F.2d [1047, 1054 (9th Cir.
1971).]
The court therefore DISMISSES plaintiff Stuarts claims for failure to comply

1 with Rule 8. Dismissal is without prejudice and with leave to amend, with the
2 following exceptions. The court DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE Stuarts claims
3 against the defendant judges for damages arising out of judicial acts within the
4 jurisdiction of their courts. Ashelman v. Pope, 793 F.2d 1072, 1075 (9th Cir. 1986).
5 The court also DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE Stuarts claims against the
6 Commission on Judicial Performance and against its officials, Simi and Battson, to the
7 extent the latter are sued for damages in their official capacity. U.S. Const. Amend XI;
8 Ricotta v. California, 4 F. Supp. 2d 961, 976 (S.D. Cal. 1998); Cal. Const. Art. IV,
9 18(H).
10
In composing his amended complaint, Stuart must heed the statute of limitations
11 for Section 1983 and Section 1985 claims brought in this court, which is generally two
12 years. Action Apartment Assn, Inc. v. Santa Monica Rent Control Bd., 509 F.3d 1020,
13 1026 (9th Cir. 2007); McDougal v. County of Imperial, 942 F.2d 668, 673-74 (9th Cir.
14 1991) ( 1985 claims are governed by the same statute of limitations as 1983 claims.)
15 Generally, the statute of limitations begins to run when a potential plaintiff knows or
16 has reason to know of the asserted injury. Action Apartment, 509 F.3d at 1026-27.
17 Here, Stuarts claims appear to arise primarily out of two events: the April 15, 2010
18 San Diego County Bar Association seminar and his dissolution mediation before
19 defendant Doyne, Inc., which concluded in about November 2009. [Doc. No. 1 24,
20 241.] These claims therefore appear barred by the statute of limitations. To the extent
21 Stuart contends that equitable tolling should apply, he must set forth specific allegations
22 in his amended complaint to support such a theory.
23
24
CONCLUSION
The motions to dismiss of the Superior Court and Commission on Judicial
25 Performance defendants [Doc. Nos. 16, 22] are granted in part and denied in part. The
26 complaint is dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff Stuart has leave to file an amended
27 complaint no later than Thursday, January 9, 2014. Stuart may assert claims only on
28 his behalf and should be wary of the immunity and statute-of-limitation issues

1 addressed above. Though Stuart appears pro se, the court notes that he formally was
2 a licensed member of the California bar with a complex litigation practice. [Doc. No.
3 1 102.] It is anticipated that Stuart has the requisite knowledge and training to submit
4 a complaint that complies with Rule 8 and appropriately and coherently identifies his
5 causes of action and the specific defendants he alleges liable for his asserted damages
6 without unnecessary verbiage, argument, and rhetoric.
7
The court denies plaintiffs motion to strike and the Superior Courts motion for
8 sanctions. [Doc. Nos. 19, 23.] Finally, the court deems withdrawn the remaining
9 motions to dismiss. [Doc. Nos. 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 62, 67, 73. ]

GRANTS this motion and instructs plaintiff to contact the Clerk of Court, (619)-5575600, for further instructions.

191 ORDER dismissing case with prejudice; denying 109 Motion for Preliminary
Injunction; and denying 160 Motion for Sanctions. It is so ordered due to plaintiffs
inabilityor unwillingnessto file a complaint that complies with Rule 8, the court
finds that granting further leave to amend would unduly prejudice defendants.
Accordingly, defendants pending motions to dismiss aregranted, and this action is
dismissed with prejudice. In light of this dismissal, the court denies plaintiffs
motion for preliminary injunction. [Doc. No. 109 .] The court does not conclude
that plaintiffs filing was made solely for the purpose of harassing the defendants
or in contempt of the courts order to file a Rule 8 compliant pleading. No
monetary sanction will be awarded, and the motion for sanctions 160 is denied.
