SUMMARY DISMISSAL ORDER

This case is before the court for review of the
complaint filed by pro se plaintiffs Gregory Kelly and
Annette B. Kelly. The complaint names as defendants
around 50 different Alabama governmental agencies and
boards covering vastly different subjects--from the
Department of Agriculture and Industries to the Board
of Veterinary Medical Examiners—and asserts causes of
action against them under the National Defense
Authorization Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act,
the criminal statute for deprivation of civil rights
(18 U.S.C. § 242), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, 42 U.S.C. § 1985 (conspiracy to interfere with
civil rights), and the Supremacy Clause of the United

States Constitution.
Plaintiff Gregory Kelly has been declared a
vexatious litigant by this court. See Kelly v.
Montgomery Water Works & Sanitary Sewer Bd., No.

2:24cv348-RAH, 2025 WL 1461271, at *1 (M.D. Ala. May
21, 2025). Because of Gregory Kelly’s repeated filing
of frivolous and shotgun complaints and Annette B.
Kelly’s repeated joining with him as a plaintiff on

such complaints, on December 15, 2025, the court
entered the following order:
“As a consequence of Gregory Kelly’s vexatious
filing of shotgun and frivolous pleadings, and
now by and through his wife, Annette B. Kelly,
in the event Gregory Kelly or anyone acting in
concert with him, including Annette B. Kelly,
files a shotgun or facially frivolous complaint
in the future, after appropriate review, the
Court will summarily dismiss the pleading and
the action without prior notice.”

Kelly v. Alabama State Port Auth., No. 2:25cv825-RAH,
2025 WL 3633214, at *2 (M.D. Ala. Dec. 15, 2025).
The court has conducted an appropriate review of

the complaint in this new case, which was filed on June
3, 2026. The complaint is a shotgun pleading because
it is “replete with conclusory, vague, and immaterial
facts not obviously connected to any particular cause

of action.” Weiland v. Palm Beach Cnty. Sheriff's
Off., 792 F.3d 1313, 1322 (11th Cir. 2015). In
addition, the complaint constitutes a shotgun pleading
because it contains “multiple claims against multiple

defendants without specifying which of the defendants
are responsible for which acts or omissions.” Id. at
1323. Therefore, the complaint and this case will be
dismissed pursuant to the above-quoted order.

***
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the complaint (Doc.
1), and this case in its entirety, are summarily

dismissed without prejudice.
3
This case is closed.
The plaintiffs are advised that, within 21 days
from the date of this order, they should pick up from

the clerk of court’s office the service materials they
provided for this case. If they do not do so, their
service materials may be discarded.
DONE, this the 4th day of June, 2026.
