    of a state action civil rights injury suffered in the 2008 General Election

    process in New Yorks appointment of its Electoral College that relies on

    action and discovery herein to proceed; in that Strunk, a Republican party

    House seats and more than $400 billion in federal aid. The questions on the

    form ask about people's gender, race, family, housing, as well as their

    address and telephone number.

    13. The Census Bureau this week began delivering letters to homes inrural areas and is mailing the IO-question short forms to 120 million U.S.

    households on March 15,2010 shown as Exhibit D and that Officials have

    estimated the government survey will take just 10 minutes to complete, a asa change from previous censuses as a challenged equal protection issueherein in which many people received a long form detailed questionnaire on

    the U.S.; whether the person had attended college in the last threeyears and what is the highest level of education the person hascompleted; the persons ancestry or ethnic origin; whether the person

    speaks a language other than English at home, and if yes, whatlanguage; whether the person lived in this housing unit or anapartment a year ago; whether the person is covered by healthinsurance, and if yes, by what type of health insurance.

    15.That in Judicial Notice shown as Exhibit B, Affiant contends that therewas no random selection with LCvR 40.3(b) of a District Judge to hear theLCvR 9.1 motion for a three judge panel because Affiant is self-

    represented and as an equal protection infringes my right to substantive

    due process when the Clerk of the Court who is no longer working at

    District assigned the 09-cv-1295 Census case to the same judge that

    Affiant has been complaining of in the two (2) original proceedings 08-

    5503-OP and 09-5322-OP and now herein on a different matter.

    That on June 24,2009, in the original proceeding 08-5503-OP before

    the Honorable Chief Judge Sentelle, and Honorables Ginsburg and

    Tatel Circuit Judges in their Per Curiam Order, see Exhibit F,held

    that Petitioner file a new original proceeding for relief quote:

    To the extent petitioner seeks relief not requested in his originalpetition, petitioner must file a separate petition for a writ ofmandamus to bring the matter properly before the court.

    That on November 25, 2009, in the original proceeding 09-5322-OP

    before the Honorables Ginsburg, Garland, and Brown, Circuit Judges

    in their Per Curiam Order, see Exhibit G, in that petitioner was

    complaining of the Clerk of the District Court (who is no longer there)

    and to recuse a District Judge, held that the petition for a writ of

    mandamus be denied in that quote:

    Petitioner has not shown any misconduct by the district courtclerks office. Moreover, judicial rulings alone almost neverconstitute a valid basis for a bias or partiality motion, Liteky v.United States, 51 0 U.S. 540, 555 (1994), and petitioner has notidentified any ruling that would warrant recusal of the district judgein his cases. Finally, any suggestion that the district judge isconspiring with the Society of Jesus or other entities discussed inthe petition is without support, and we will not reach any otherarguments that have not been properly presented to and ruled onby the district judge in the first instance.

    16. That after November 22,2008,Affiant complaint StrunkvDOSO8-cv-2234 under FOlA 5 U.S.C. Section 552 was assigned to Judge RichardJ. Leonwho after a series of motions in the spring of 2009 since June 2009

    has languished under a stay until March 15,2010 when the Court issued

    the decision and order partially dismissing the action as to the Usurper,

    whose Federal Passport as a U S . Senator as to the origin is a publicmatter, and in which Affiant contends he is entitled to know when it was

    issued and from what type of original passport it replaced or was used to

    supplement for issuance of the Official Passport without the release of any

    private information, and all of which is to be known by the public which has

    been outrageously denied (See Exhibit H).

    17.That on July 7, 2009, Affiant went to US. District Court for theWashington District of Columbia with the verified complaint 09-cv-1249

    entitled StrunkK TheNewYorkProvinceofthe Society ofJesuset al. inthe matter of injury associated inter alia with the non-enforcement of the

    Logan Act (18 USC 6j953and related law), and finally after many monthsreceived an order to dismiss (See Exhibit I)with injuries compiling under

    the Usurper Barry Soetoro ( a k a . Barack Hussein Obama) whose actionsare void ab initio because, by his own admission, he is not a natura/-born

    Citizenrequired with U.S. Constitution Article I I section 1 Clause 5, whocontinues in office without any court hearing the merits of any petition,

    including Affiants now before the District Court in 10-cv-00151,and whereAffiant has petitioned to intervene and is an Interpleader by separateaction; Affiant contends as a matter of public policy, more than the sing

    song justice delayed is justice denied rhubarb, every district Court

    petitioned to date without exception in the Federal System, especially the

    progressive majority at the SCOTUS, all aid and abet misprision of felonyand treason that will only end with the removal of those misprisors because

    Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall ONLY hold their

    Offices during good Behaviour.

    18.The Associated Press on March4, 2010 reported in an article entitled

    Gov't offersnewassuranceceisus dataispdvate by HOPE YEN (SeeExhibitJ) that Barack Hussein Obama who usurped the office of the

    POTUS as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer, administrator and trustee of

    the United States of America (USA) has committed misprision in a letter to

    Congress, that provided its legal position that the 2010 census data cannot

    be disclosed under thePatriotActcounterterrorism law, and the Executive Branch has previously given

    questionable legal assurances the information will not be used for

    immigration enforcement.

    19.That if the short form is not resent by mail to include the question Are

    you a citizen?and or Areyouapermanent residentalien? or the SSN lastfour to all the Post Office Boxes and or Personal Mail Boxes, Affiant and

    those similarly situated will not be properly enumeratedas citizens or

    permanent resident aliens and thereby shift the allotment of members of the

    US House that has arbitrarily happened from1920

    until1930

    when13

    USC

    SI41 was used to equalize the allotment of U S . House members; however,is unconstitutionally capped at 435without the protectionof the 14hAmendment Section 2 requiring due process for any State in reduction of

    the electoral college size- 13USC5141 does not amend the Constitution.20. That Strunk along with those similarly situated in NewYork have

    been denied substantive due process in the matter of the arbitrary reductionin size of the New York Electoral College under color of 13 USC5141 since1960when the US.House members plus two Senators with the 13USCSI41 allotment went from 47 members to 45members and 31 members inthe 2008 General Election with the 2010Census allotment to be reduced to

    say 29 Electoral College members, and as the history of allotment on the

    attached Chart from 1790 through 2000 depicts- see ExhibitK.

    ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

    24. Further, that as a matter of compelling State interest that without an

    citizens per se or a permanent resident alien who by primary domicile

    actually reside in the respective State of the several States on a political

    is an equal protection issue injury that will result among those residents

    legally domiciled in New York and depending upon the specific laws of the

    several States, on a State by State basis as an equal protection issue;however, the injury also differs from State to State for example unlike New

    York the State of Oregon issues a State residence card to anyone who

    simply chooses to reside in that State without it being the primary domicile,

    contrary to New York that does not issue such license only honors a

    person's decision of where he / she chooses to vote as long as theresidence is considered the domicile and no other exists in the state or

    elsewhere in any other State of the several States. Affiant contends that

    because of the adoption of the US Constitution the prior requirement that

    transients not be considered is no longer valid under the constitution as

    long as there is a place for service of process as Petitioner has done, is the

    same as for a foreign corporation (a fictitious person) operating

    of the constitution, there is no amendment to that express requirement that

    the NEW ratio is to be One House Representative per say 690,000 persons

    for each member; and with the use of basic English and logic 1:690000 or0.00000145 does not exceed 1:30000or 0.000033 thereby reducesmembers; and therefore, every decennial allotment without an enlargement

    of the actual number of House members is unconstitutional notwithstanding

    the June 13, 1929 re-balance intended by 13 USC $141 to the contrary.

    26.That Strunks sovereign authority to protect his inalienable individualrights creates the Federal government and to define express limited rights

    for the government to operate by.

    27. That there are four political branches of government: the three who

    govern with the consent of the people granted to The Congress, The

    Executive, The Judiciary and the fourth most important branch The People

    who are resident in a respective State of the several States.

    28. There is an overriding Constitutional question of first impression

    historically ignored since June 1912 that even with enactment of the interim

    measure of 13USC 5141 to re-balance the electoral college for the peopleof each State of the several States in 1929 still is contrary to the required

    House decennial enlargement as to the actual population in Article I section

    2 that each House member represent only with the consent of the people

    among the 30,000 persons in each member district, that now is somewhere

    around say one House member per say 690,0000 persons, and as such

    remains a festering cancer upon the national government that according to

    a recent Rasmussen survey 61% of the people say the government actswithout consent of the people.

    29.The first political branch, The Congress, has not followed the

    requirement of the US. Constitution in so far as enlargement since 1912,that representative government has fatally weakened the guarantee of a

    republican form of government, especially as it applies to the second

    political branch, The Executive, dependent upon the Electoral College

    election process in each State of the several States to appoint POTUS; and30. Further, that since 1928 the Office of POTUS without the equal

    protection provision of decennial enlargement of the first Branch has

    evolved into a cult of tyranny that will only worsen without a representative

    sized electoral college commensurate with the increase of the people to

    select the chief magistrate, i.e. in New York in 1960with say 12.5 millionresidents had 45 electoral college votes now in 201 0 with say 19.5 million

    residents based upon the 2000 Census now only has 31 electoral college

    votes and scheduled to reduce two more with the 2010 Census; and

    31. Further, one hundred years later without an enlargement of the

    electoral college more than ever before the chief law enforcement officer

    must have no appearance of impropriety or even the slightest question of

    allegiances as with the Usurper Obama, who is the epitome of the fears of

    the framers as to undue foreign influence in Article II Section 1 in use of theexpress eligibility mandate of any candidate shall be a natural-born citizen

    without dual allegiance; and that Obama has more than dual allegiance,

    32.Further, without enlargement The Congress has become a tyrannical

    dictatorship disconnected from the people who are restrained by an every

    increasing difficulty in running for office or participating with a reasonable

    expectationof success, and as evidenced now with the Usurper who

    operates under a continuous state of arbitrary and capricious declared

    emergencies; that will only chronically worsen every ten years without the

    required U.S. House size reasonably reflecting the consent of the people, in

    that the House increasingly operates for a cabal of special interestcontributors whose surreptitious campaign funding violations of laws and

    side deals operate without the consent of the people, and as such the

    House increasingly lacks the ability to as a regular expectation of their

    duties to impeach high crimes and misdemeanors in the executive, and

    especially members of the judiciary who rather than report on the law make

    the law with impunity so much so that the people now fear the judiciary for

    being arbitrary and capricious in a chronic corruption as seen with Alcee

    Hastings who even after soliciting bribes from the bench left by animpeachment process only then to become a U S . House member fromSouth Miami in Florida.

    33.That Strunks individual authority creates the corporate office of the

    President of the United States of America, POTUS, to which Defendant

    Barack Hussein Obama was questionably elected without presenting

    eligibility proof of his qualifications other than his opinion somehow eligible.

    neither is a natural-born citizen, as an abridgment of Strunk's right to voteat any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President ofthe United States along with those similarly situated in New York.

    36.This application is made because of the failure of our representative

    government to uphold the U.S. Constitutional form of governance. The

    three branchesof government are co-opted by a cabal of interlocking

    directorships of entities and especially theSovereignMi/itaryOrderofMalta(SMOM) whose members are also citizens of that sovereign(see Endnote p. viii)

    crucial role for the Vatican State and SMOM to create global regionalism

    that subsumes national sovereignty and as the Former National Security

    Morocco, Mauritania and Tunisia. ..The five Catholic nations and the five

    African Arab nations are united to re-form the early Roman Empire, the

    same entity that crushed ancient Israel.42. On February 17,2010, King Juan Carlos of Spain met the Usurper

    President Obama in Washington. Told Obama that Israel will not be able to

    survive the next war. Obama celebrated by sending William Burns of the

    CFR to Damascus to announce the impending new American ambassador

    to Syria. Moreover, no one paid any attention to the coordination of the

    King's visit and this diplomatic about face. And is no secret that both Carlos

    and Obama are out to get Israel and the cabal against USA sovereign

    policy and national security interest is led by the Jesuit-trained King of

    Spain, Juan Carlos, and as we know, Juan Carlos believes he is a

    descendent of Jesus himself and the title he is proudest of is Custodian of

    the Holy Sites Of Jerusalem. He wants the Jews out of Jerusalem and the

    Vatican back in, as Juan Carlos believes he is the King of Jerusalem. With

    a few twists, he will get his throne back. The setup for the endgame began

    after Israel's disastrous war with Hezbollah in the summer of 2006. The

    leaders of the world met in Rome and appointed a UN army, 80% from

    Obama, Juan Carlos dropped in on the UNs newest Security Councilmember, Lebanon, for dinner and a meeting with the new Spanish

    commanderof the UN separation troops. We were not there but we will

    safely assume the discussion had nothing to do with stopping the upcoming

    war, and lots to do with ignoring Hezbollah launching tens of thousands of

    rockets at Israel. King Juan Carlos is the New Hadrian!

    So where does Barack Hussein Obamas allegiance reside?

    Catholic Pope and to the leader of the SMOM who is now His Most Eminent

    Highness the Prince and Grand Master Fra Matthew Festing

    and thereby has at least three allegiances in conflict with USA law.

    46.As a member of the Knights of Malta, and by virtue of your blood oath

    of obedience to the Pope and the Jesuit General Nicholas, a member is

    required to support to the death the desires of the head of the Order of the

    Knights of Malta-in this case Grand Master Festing, Pope Benedict XVI and

    Jesuit General Nicholas, and is over and above any other allegiance one

    may feel or pretend to feel toward any other loyalty such as a loyalty to the

    UNLAWFUL SUSPENSION OF THE PATRIOT ACT

    50. Insteadof simply asking how many adults live at your address, the

    government will ask you a series of questions designed to justify more

    government spending and intrusion in your life.

    51. If for some reason you'neglect to return your survey, they will send

    a government temporary worker to your home and try to harass you into

    answering their questions. If that does not work, they will send spies to

    your neighbors and see if they will tell them what they want to know.52.The question before the Court for a preliminary injunction is the

    Census Bureau really able to fine you $5000 for not telling them your

    private information, when it is worth keeping your private information from

    the government other than citizenship status and place of domicile.

    53, The federal government used Census data to round up Japanese

    Citizens and put them in internment camps during WWII. The IRS has used"confidential" information in the past to launch investigations and there are

    other examples of various government prosecutorial agencies using

    information that was supposed to be "confidential" to launch

    investigations. So is your desire for privacy going to cost you $5000?54. Obama's actions along with his agents under color of law are murky,

    and pose a real threat to Petitioner and those similarly situated, is the

    maximum penalty only $100, or is it $5000 to pay for privacy?.

    55. The web-site for the Census Bureau warns of the penalty for failing to

    comply with either survey request is found in Title 13, U.S.C., Section 221:

    A. That with this section, refusing to provide the requestedinformation or neglecting to complete either survey subjects youto a fine of not more than $100.00.

    B. That willfully giving information that is false has a fine of notmore than $500.00.

    56.That what appears as the Census Bureau misrepresentation of

    federal law is designed to harass, coerce and violate the 5'h and gthamendment rights of the American people, presumably so they will provide

    the requested information, the Census Bureau statement in reference to

    section 221 penalties referenced above, Title 18 U.S.C. Section 3571 and

    Section 3559, arbitrarily under color of law ineffect amends Title 13 U.S.C.

    Section 221 changes the fine from not more than $100 to not more than

    $5,000 for anyone over 18 years old who refuses or willfully neglects to

    complete the questionnaire or answer questions posed by census takers.

    57.A review of Title 18shows it is entitled: "CRIMES AND CRIMINAL

    PROCEDURE." Section 3559 is entitled: "Sentencing classification of

    offenses." Section (a) states: "Classification.--An offense that is not

    specifically classified by a letter grade in the section defining it, isclassified

    if the maximum term of imprisonment authorized at subsection (9) is five

    days or less, or if no imprisonment is authorized, as an infraction.

    58.Further, with the Section 3571 rubric "Sentence of fine." Subsection(a) states: "A defendant who has been found guilty of an offense may be

    sentenced to pay a fine." Sub-section (b) states in part: "...an individual who

    has been found guilty of an offense may be fined not more than the

    greatest of at clause (7) for an infraction, not more than $5,000." ; and that

    29/115

    this is the only reference to a fine in the amount cited by the Census Bureau

    that matches the provision in section 3559 above.

    59.The $5,000.00 fine referenced in section 3571 is a post conviction

    fine that only applies to an individual who has been charged and convicted

    of a criminal infraction as defined in section 3559; and unless an individual

    is charged and convicted of some criminal offense connected to the

    Census, the crime is classified as an infraction, and as such the $5,000.00

    fine does not apply.60.Therefore, the Census Bureau assertion that the referenced sections

    changed the fines in section 221 to $5,000.00 is an outrageous fraud, very

    much the same way as bogus ads being run on radio and television are

    misrepresentations to be turned off or channel switched.

    ARGUMENT FOR RELIEF

    The Supreme Court and other courts have said that a citizen has a rightto receive protection and safety from the government in return for which he

    gives allegiance to that government. As Justice Waite in UnitedStatesv.Cruiksahank,92 U.S. 542 (1875) said, the right to receive protection is notonly a right that belongs to the collective society but also to the individual. It

    is the individual's right to receive protection from the government, which

    was the reason that the Founders constituted the new federal Constitutional

    Republic, believing that the individual would be better, protected if there

    were a unified national government to provide that protection.

    government providing for the person's safety, security, and tranquility.

    Under the Fifth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment, a person is

    entitled to life, liberty, and property and cannot be deprived of those rights

    by the government without due process of law. Hence, under the

    Constitution, a person is entitled to receive from the government its

    protection of hidher life, liberty, and propetty. These componentsnecessarily include the right to safety, security, and tranquility.

    Can one reasonably deny that persons should have a right to protectthemselves? The Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendment recognize that

    citizens have the right to vote for their representatives and protect that right.

    Citizens exercise their right to protect themselves by voting for

    representatives in whom they entrust their life, liberty, and property and

    expect these representatives to best protect their safety, security, and

    tranquility. Hence, if persons are expected to vote for those representativeswhom they believe will best protect them and that right is protected by the

    Constitution, a person also has a constitutional right to bring an action

    under the Fifth Amendment against the federal government andlor its

    agents to demand that the government continue to provide him/her with theprotection he is entitled under the Constitution.

    The sovereign power in our Constitutional Republic lies with the people

    and the Constitution they established to limit the power of the Federal

    government and thus the Congress and its members who are part of that

    government. See Cbisholm v. Georuia,2 U.S. (2Dall.) 419 (1793) (explainsthat it is the people who are sovereign in our Constitutional Republic). Any

    party to a contract has standing to enforce it.

    The U S . Constitution is a contract or social compact between thepeople, the states, and the federal government that defines and limits the

    role of the federal government and the rights of the states and the people. It

    is the Constitution as a social compact and the citizenship contract itself

    between a citizen and the government that provides the citizen individually

    with that right to protection, safety, security, and tranquility. Hence, the right

    to receive protection, safety, security, and tranquility from the government

    is a personal contractual right that belongs to one who is a citizen of the

    United States. Petitioner along with those similarly situated as citizens of

    the United States and part of the people thereof, are parties to this contract.

    They therefore have standing to enforce requirements of Article II "naturalborn Citizen" clause as Petitioner suffers an injury in relation thereto.

    For sure, Obama, if he were a legitimate President and regardless ofwhether they voted for him or not, would have the constitutional duty under

    the Fifth Amendment to provide for the Petitioner's protection, safety,

    security, and tranquility. In return, being assured that hewas a "natural

    born Citizen" and otherwise eligible for his office, they would trust him and

    therefore consent to submit to his legal authority over them. That legal

    authority is substantial and affects every aspect of their lives. See Dept. OftheNavyv. uan+ 484 U.S. 518 (1988) (explains how the President hasauthority over our military and national security affairs and is central to

    protecting our national security and our highly sensitive national security

    information so that it does not get into the hands of our enemies; and how

    an agency of the Executive Branch can remove an employee from

    government employment for lack of retaining a security clearance and the

    risk he poses to the national security interests of the United States).

    The President and Commander in Chief as the Chief Law Enforcement

    Officer Administrator and Trustee wields enormous power over the

    Petitioner's and others lives. He is the Chief Executive and Commander of

    all the military force and law enforcement.As such, he has the

    constitutional obligation to protect them from enemies both foreign and

    domestic. Hence, given that the President regularly makes life and death

    decisions, it cannot be denied that Petitioner is personally and directly

    affected in a concrete way by everything the President does and does not

    do. The Court can take judicial notice of former Vice President, Dick

    Cheney's actual words regarding Obama's administration's request to move

    the trial of the 9/11 conspirators to New York City. Cheney's words were: "I

    tbink it's likelytogive encouragement,aid andcomfort to the enemy."Concerning Obama, we are not attacking the wisdom or soundness of

    government action or asking the Court to assume any authority over some

    other co-equal branch of government. Petitioner's action against him is not

    an action against the government. Affiant is not suing Obama because

    Petitioner does not like him, because of a generalized feeling of discomfort

    about his occupying the Office of President, or because Petitioner has

    suffered undefined psychological harm. Rather, Petitioner maintains that he

    does not meet the textual "natural born Citizen" eligibility requirements of

    Article 2, a requirement that he must meet prior to executive power

    DC Circuit Original Proceeding 27 of30 In Re Stnink Petition for Writ

    legitimately vesting in him under Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5. He must

    meet this objective constitutional requirement regardless of what the

    Petitioner may personally believe or how the Petitioner may feel about him.

    Regarding Congress, in its ministerial duty by the Vice President

    Counting the Electoral votes under the 12'h amendment President Cheneyfailed to ascertain whether or not Obama were qualified by polling those

    house / senate members gathered as if it were optional when it is amandatory ministerial duty that in fact was breached under the Twentieth

    Amendment by failing to make sure that Obama meets that textual eligibility

    requirementof the "natural born Citizen" clause of Article IIwhich providesprotection to Petitioner and those similarly situated lives, liberty and

    property by assuring them that the person to occupy the Office of President

    will have the loyalty and allegiance needed to adequately protect their

    safety, security, and tranquility.

    Obama's allegiance and loyalty to the United States determines how he

    exercises his duty to protect the citizen Petitioner. If Obama is not an Article

    2 "natural born Citizen," Petitioner cannot trust him to protect them. In such

    a case, Petitioner has a right under the Fifth Amendment to bring an action

    against both Obama and Congress in which they seek to protect their own

    life, liberty, and property, including their safety, security, and tranquility, and

    to have Obama removed from office because he is not a "natural born

    Citizen." The Petitioner has these real and concrete life and death needs.

    Any injury to these rights is indeed a concrete Injury.

    what the plaintiffs are alleging. . . .

    [HAVA] . . . . The complaint also appears to raise concerns about how New Yorkand itscounties have failed to meet the mandates of HAVA and how the State has drawn itscongressional, legislative and judicial districts. . . . [Blecause of the manner in which thecomplaint is pled the Court can make little sense, ifany, ofwhat the defendants arc alleged tohave done or what they have failed to do in relation to HAVA or how those actions or failures

    to act are actionable.

    Dkt. No. 24 at 1-2.Plaintiffs were ordered to show cause, in writing, no later than May 1,2006, why this

    action should riot be dismissed or transferred . . .arid why sanctions should not be imposed against

    them. . . . -Id. at 7. The Order also directed Plaintiffs to file an amended complaint that simply andconcisely informs the Court and the defendants in plain terms what they are alleging the defendants di

    or did not do . . .and how those actions or inactions are a violation ofHAVA or some other federal or

    state statute, law or constitutional provision. Id.at 3. Plaintiffs were warned that failure to file anamended complaint that complies with Fed. R. Civ.

    also were instructed that, because they are proceedingpro se, they must delete references to anyassociations or organizations on whose behalf they claimed to be suing. The Western Districts Order

    Because the Loeber case was similar to, and filed prior to this case, the Western District transferred tcase to this Court. Dkt. No. 100.

    disjointed, unintelligible, convoluted, conhsing and prolix. Plaintiftk did not file the proposedAmended Compiaint. It similarly appears that Plaintiffs did not serve the Amended Complaint on

    Defendants, See. e.g.,Mem. by N.Y. State Atty General andNY State Secy ofState in Supp. ofMto Dismiss (Dkt. No 29) at 3.

    The First Cause ofAction ofthe proposed Amended Complaint alleges a failure to enforce the

    National Voter Registration Act. In sum, this claim alleges that various states have failed to prevent

    non-citizens from voting in elections. Plaintiffs contend that, by allowing non-citizens to vote, their

    votes have been efkctively diluted. The Second Cause ofAction claims that the Election AssistanceCommission (EAC) and the Department ofJustice have improperly certified false state HAVAsubmissions. The Third Cause of Action contends that the EAC has intentionally promoted, facilitateaided and abetted illegal aliens to register by mail and vote in Arizona and certain other States.

    TheFourth Cause ofAction alleges that the New YorkState Board ofElections intentionally and

    maliciously failcd to maintain a statewide central database that ~ v o d dnable munic ip l i t ie s ic3 tserifyinactive voters. According to Plaintiffs, this causes various municipalities to receive a disproportiona

    municipal bases as required under color ofN V M and HAVA and New York State EIection Law.Plaintiffs allege that, ifother states properly claimed HAVA funds, more funds would be available to

    the State ofNew Yorkand,as a result, New York municipalities would not have to increase property

    taxes to cover election-related expenses. The Sixth Causo of Action alleges that the States ofCalifornia, Nevada, Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and other states intentionally fail to

    maintain an accurate voter registration database as requiredby federal and state law.

    Plaintiffs contend that, as a result ofDefendants actions, voting is being rapidly undermined byillegal aliens and multiply registered citizens, the strength oftheir votes is being diluted, their right to

    free speech and freedom ofassociation is being infringed, their suffrage rights are beingdisenfranchise[d] ...by disproportionate diminished dilution by taking plaintiffs [sic] proprietarytangible suffrage property, they are suffering reverse discrimination, they are being deprived ofa

    11. STANDARD OF REVIEW

    To survive a motion to dismiss pursuant to Fcdcral Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(G), it complaintmust contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to reliefthat is plausible onface. Ashcroft v. Iabal, --- U S . ----, 129S. Ct. 1937, 1949(2009) (quoting Bell Atlantic Corp. v.Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S. Ct. 1955 (2007)). When considering a motion to dismisspursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), a district court must accept the factual allegations madeby the non-movinparty iis true and draw a11 inferences in the light must favorable to the non-moving party. In reNYSE Specialists Securities Litigation, 503 F.3d 89,95 (2d Cir. 2007). The movants burden is versubstantial, as [tlhe issue is not whether a plaintiffis likely to prevail ultimately, but whether theclaimant is entitled to offer evidence to support the claims.

    Rule 8(3)(2) ofthe Federal Rules ofCivi1 Procedure requires 3 complaint tocontain a"sand plain statement ofthe claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." As noted, Plaintiffs

    were directed by the Court to submit anamended pleading that complies with the requirements of

    failed to comply with the Court's prior order by tiling an amended complaint this action must beDISMISSED.

    b. Failure to Comply with Rules 8 and 10

    ' Rules 8 and 10. Plaintiffs were specifically advised of the deficiencies in their Complaint, instructehow to remedy the deticiencies,and given the opportuaity to remedy the defects. Plaintiffs also werwarned ofthe consequences of failing to file a proper complaint. Notwithstanding the numerousmotions attacking the original Complaint and proposed Amended Complaint as failing to comply w

    Rule 8 and the Court's prior admonition, to date (several years later), Plaintiffs have made no effort

    submit a coherent, streamlined complaint. Rather than adheringto the Court's warning and the dict

    ofRule 8(a)(2), P!aintiffs submitted a proposed Amended Complaint that is even longer and moreconvoluted than the original filing. It continues to contain an abundance ofirrelevant and othenviseimmaterial matters and unnecessary detail, including lengthy excerpts from articles and references to

    irrelevant treaties. Inmost instances the proposed Amended Cornplaint fails to allege how the nameDefendants harmed them. Further, the length and prolixity ofthe proposed Amended Complaint pla

    an unnecessary and unjustified burden on the Court and the numerous Defendants who have to respoto it. See Salahuddin v. Cuorno, 86 1 F.2d 40, 42 (2d Cir. 1988). For these reasons, all blotions to

    Defendants move to dismiss the Complaint and proposed Amended Cornplaint on theground that Plaintiffs lackstanding2 Article HI, $ 2, d.1 ofthe Constitution extends the judicialpower only to actual cxjes or coiitroversies. I he doctriiit: ofstaiding preforms a critical role inassuring the limits tojudicial power imposed by this case-or-controversyrequirement. SeeAllen vWright, 468 U.S. 737, 751 (1984). In essence the question of standing is whether the litigant is

    entitled to have the court decide the merits ofthe dispute or ofparticular issues. Id.at 750-51(quotingWarth v. Seldin, 422US.490,498 (1975)).

    Three elements form the irreducible constitutional rninirnum ofstanding. LLGU v.Defenders ofWildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560 (1992). These are:

    First, the plaintiff must have suffered an injury in fact- an invasion ofa legally protected intereswhich is (a) concrete and particularized, and (b) actual or imminent, not conjectural orhypothetical. Second, there must be a causal connection between the injury and the conduccomplained of- the injury has to be fairIy .. . racerable] to the chaIIenged action ofthe defendantandnot. .. h[e] result [ofl the independentactionofsome third party not before the court. Thirdit must be likely, as opposed to merely speculative, that the injury will be redressed by a

    favorable dec s on.-Id. at 560-61 (internal citations omitted). In applying these conditions, the SupremeCourt has notedthat where a plaintiffischallenging government action or inaction, and the plaintiffis not himself

    object of the governmentaction or inaction he challenges, standing is not precluded, but it is ordina

    substantiaiIy more difficult to establish. Id. t 562 (quoting Allen, 468 U.S. at 758).The allegations contained in Plaintiffs Amended CompIaint consistently fail to allege an

    concrete harm personally suffered by Plaintiffs or explain how such harm could be traceable to theDefendants. Throughout their twelve causes ofaction, Plaintiffs allege non-particularized injuries a

    generalized grievances, 'and, hrthcrrnore, leave unclear how any ofthe alleged harms could be

    redressed by a favorabie result in the courts. Where, as in the Ninth Cause ofAction, Plaintiffs appeto specify aconcrete injury, the taking oftheir property through real property taxes collected to covethe costs ofHAVA, their claim still fails. Plaintiffs do not allege that property taxes have increasedbecause ofthe need to cover a shortfall in HAVA funding, that there is a shortfall in HAVA funding

    that there could be any such a shortfallbecause,as explained in Loeber, HAVA requires states to ado

    certain voting requirements regardless ofany federa1 funding. 2008 WL I I 1172, at -*4.In short, Plaintiffs lackstanding because they fail to allege any concrete injury. Moreover

    for the reasons stated by this Court in Loeber, Plaintiffs do not have standing to challenge the

    requirements ofthe NVRA or Titles I or II ofthe HAVA. 2008 WL 111172, at "4-5; see also Kalssov. U.S. Federal Election Com'n, 356F. Supp. 2d 371 (S.D.N.Y. ZOOS) (plaintiffdid not have standin

    despite his allegation that his vote was diluted because the NVRA results in more people registering

    vote than otherwise would be the case), aff'd, 159Fed. Appx. 326 (2d Cir. 2005); see also Amalfitanv. United States, 2001 WL 103437 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 7,2001), aff'd, 21 Fed. Appx. 67 (2d Cir. 2001).any event, the NVRA imposes obligations upon states; not counties. 42 U.S.C. tj 1973gg-2(a). For tforegoing reasons, Plaintiffs lack standing, thereby providing another basis for dismissal.
