CITATIONS OF OFFICIAL ORDERS
The order of the 5" Circuit (Appendix A) affirmed
the order of the District Court (Appendix B), affirming the
magistrate’s R&R (Appendix C). None were published.
JURISDICTION
This is an appeal from the 5" Circuit Court of
Appeals (No. 06-40461). The case was appealed from the
U. S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas (No.
6:05cv193). The 5" Circuit affirmed dismissal of the
petitioner’s case on July 26, 2006. The U. S. Supreme Court
has the discretion of certiorari on appeals from the circuit
courts (28 U.S.C. § 1254).
BASIS OF JURISDICTION
OF THE COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE
The U. S. District Court was the court of competent
jurisdiction. The defendant U. S. Air Force (hereinafter
“USAF”), its actors, and its co-conspirators within Civil Air
Patrol (hereinafter “CAP”), through policy and written
confessions, denied petitioner the freedom of speech and
petition (28 U.S.C. § 1331). CAP, USAF, and their actors
who are defendants, conspired to violate the civil rights of the
petitioner (28 U.S.C. § 1343 [a][1-2]). The privileges and
conditions of membership in CAP are established by
corporate policy, protected by the organizational constitution
and bylaws, and further protected by law (36 U.S.C. §
40303{[a]), giving rise to another federal issue (28 U.S.C.
§1331 and § 1346[a][2]). CAP receives most of its funding
from appropriated funds, thus subjecting the organization to
federal jurisdiction (28 U.S.C. § 1349). Respondent USAF is
a defendant for breach of implied contract, exclusive of any
tort claim, thus being further subject to federal jurisdiction
Pg. |
(28 U.S.C. § 1346 [a][2]). Only the federal district court may
assert the power of mandamus, as sought by the petitioner, to
force the USAF and its actors to comply with relevant laws,
regulations, and agreements concerning petitioner and CAP
(28 U.S.C. § 1361). It is also possible to further satisfy
federal jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act of
2005.
The U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas was also proper venue. Petitioner resides here, the
bulk of the torts or other violations were committed against
petitioner here, several of the respondents reside here, and
CAP has national citizenship and an established presence
here.
This Court’s own rules (Rule 10) indicate that the
Court will give greater consideration for certiorari where the
lower courts have so far departed from the law and standards
of judicial proceedings to warrant intervention by this Court.
In this case, five federal judges have openly fabricated lies to
justify denying a trial. All five judges have been charged as __
accessories to felony theft for denying the petitioner a
remedy for the same. All five judges have been charged with
felony Conspiracy Against Rights (18 U.S.C. § 241) for
conspiring with the government-actor defendants in denying
the petitioner a remedy for the violation of his Freedom of
Petition (U.S.C. Const. Amend. I), and all five judges have
been charged with interfering with federally protected
activities (18 U.S.C. § 245[b][1][B&E]). For the lower
courts to deny a trial on the action for fraud is to license the
USAF and CAP to continue stealing several million dollars
per year through fraud.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Petitioner filed a lawsuit in U. S. District Court,
Eastern District of Texas, June 1, 2005, alleging numerous
causes of action against numerous defendants. The trial court
dismissed the case, stating that the petitioner failed to provide
a legal theory for his claim of monetary damages against the
United States. The petitioner appealed to the 5" Circuit
Court of Appeals. Likewise, the appellate court affirmed,
July 26, 2006, stating that the petitioner failed to state a legal
theory to support his claim of monetary damages against the
United States. The petitioner has been denied a trial of right
and denied all of the rights and remedies afforded by law and
pled in the causes of action of the Complaint. The petitioner
is still being denied the freedom of petition, the right to own
private property, and the right to trial by jury.
Pg. 4
ARGUMENT #1
The judicial proceedings in this case have been a
competition between the defense lawyers and the judges to
see who can tell the most lies. The magistrate judge told 27
lies and errors in her Report and Recommendation (trial doc.
# 224), where she recommended dismissal. The petitioner
lists these lies in his response (trial doc. # 229; Appellant’s
Record Excerpts, doc. # 17). Government lawyers lied to
deceive the court on official capacity defendants, when there
were none (trial doc. # 221-1). Civil Air Patrol’s lawyers lied
to the court in stating that the petitioner threatened to murder
the defendants and that this was a reason for termination of
petitioner (trial doc. # 15, pg. 6), which led to the apparent
firing of one of those lawyers. The petitioner responded to
such allegations on another occasion (trial doc. #204, pg. 4).
All five judges have stated and restated a lie that the
petitioner sought monetary damages against the United States
and failed to set forth a legal basis for doing so (5" Cir.
Opinion, see p. 15). At no point has the petitioner ever
sought monetary damages against the United States, and
there is no legal theory for doing so in an intentional tort
case. All five judges lied to conspire with the defendants to
commit all of the crimes that this action was intended to be a
civil remedy against. All five judges have been charged with
felony theft of money, felony theft of property, felony
conspiracy against rights, felony retaliation, felony organized
crime, and for theft in awarding a judgment of costs against
the petitioner. Having refused to allow the petitioner the
legal rights and remedies afforded to him by law and as pled
in the causes of action of the Complaint, each judge became a
willing accomplice to the defendants’ crimes, which this
action was intended to remedy. The judges denied the
petitioner a trial on the basis of the judges’ own lies.
The judges also state that the petitioner filed an
unintelligible complaint, and that the petitioner failed to state
a cause of action upon which relief could be granted. Upon
Pg. 5
the magistrate judge ordering an amended complaint to
provide time, place, and person details, the iudges then
complained that the Complaint became too cumbersome.
The fact remains that the petitioner has responded to every
lie, deception, or legitimate request for clarification made by
every defense lawyer. Any lack of clarity that did exist was
rectified in subsequent court filings. No amended complaint
was ever ordered to consolidate or account for issues raised
by the defense lawyers.
Petitioner cited numerous lies by opposing counsel in
his reply brief (Appellant’s Brief, pg. 3, et seq). The same
was true in pre-trial documents before the trial court. Just
because lawyers and judges confuse the court with lies does
not make the Complaint or motions unintelligible.
A pro se litigant’s claim should only be dismissed if it
appears beyond doubt that he can prove no set of facts in
support of his claim that would entitle him to relief
(Barksdale v. King, 699 F.2d 744, 746 [5" Cir. 1983]).
In Buerger v. Southwestern Bell Tel. Co., 982 F.Supp.
1247 (E. D. Tex. 1997), the Court stated that motions to
dismiss for failure to state a claim are viewed with disfavor
and rarely granted. The Court further stated that a complaint
should not be dismissed unless it appears beyond doubt that
the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claims
that would entitle him to relief. The Court went on to opine
on the statement that the pleader is entitled to relief (Fed. R.
Civ. P. Rule 8). Citing other cases, the Court stated that the
short, plain statement need not be hypertechnical, but need
only set out a generalized statement.
In Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 (1972), the U. S.
Supreme Court reversed and remanded a dismissal because
the lower courts denied the appellant an opportunity for a
trial to prove the facts and allegations. Haines is the case on
point, as the petitioner seeks a trial to prove facts and
allegations. Petitioner takes the liberty of citing the above
cases supporting his position that were previously and
Pg. 6
erroneously cited by Judge Guthrie and the United States
against petitioner.
The 5" Circuit affirmed that the petitioner has no
right to a trial or trial by jury (U.S.C. Const. Amend. VII).
ARGUMENT #2
It should be acceptable by judicial notice that a citizen
can petition the Court for equitable relief in response to
violations of his Constitutional and civil rights by agents of
government as pled (2"’ Amended Complaint, pg. 9 ef seq).
The petitioner also has a right to file suit for damages
resulting from a conspiracy against rights (42 U.S.C. §§
1985-1986) as was pled (2"’ Amended Complaint, pg. 11).
Petitioner sought relief in the Complaint and in the
Motion for Writ to Declassify the Phonebook (trial doc. #
189), to enable himself and any other citizen to have access
to contact information for military personnel in a position of
authority. Neither petitioner, the informants of the Abu
Ghraib scandal, nor the informants of any other act of crime,
corruption, or tort committed within the military has the
ability to contact a person in authority. Petitioner has found
it most difficult to report crimes, torts, or violations of
regulation against any military personnel, because he is not
allowed to know where they are. Petitioner has further found
it difficult to serve the military defendants, at the Pentagon or
elsewhere, because he has to deduce as to where the
individuals might work. This is a violation of the freedom of
petition (U.S.C. Const. Amend I), it is a felony (18 U.S.C. §
241), it serves to protect crime and corruption in the military,
and it ensures that no person in any command position can be
held responsible. Whether a lieutenant or a four-star general,
individuals in a position of responsibility can always say “I
didn’t know”, as such individuals are protected from contact
from the people. There is no motivation for the offending
commanders to stop the crimes, torts, or other infractions
Pg. 7
being committed under their command or being committed
with the commander’s blessing. By barring contact with
government officials, while at the same time requiring the
People to report crimes to military authorities, the People are
subject to prosecution for misprison of felony for failing to
report felonies to appropriate military authorities (18 U.S.C.
§ 4), thus constituting entrapment. Under the First
Amendment, whether by injunction, writ of mandamus, or
other final order of the Court, it is unavoidable that the Court
must force the government to allow contact with itself from
the People. The judges denied the motion to declassify the
phonebook (trial docs. # 193 & 227). Any other avenue for
granting contact with government was denied upon dismissal
of the case.
The 5" Circuit affirmed that the petitioner has no
right to a remedy for civil rights violations or to be free from
felony crimes by government officials in retaliation for his
exercise of the freedom of petition.
ARGUMENT #3
It is within the Court’s discretion to grant or deny
motions for injunctions. However, whether by motion for
injunction, motion for writ of mandamus, or by final order at
the conclusion of trial, the Court must issue a writ of
mandamus compelling government actors to fulfill their
duties and to comply with the law.
Conspiracy Against Rights and a request for equitable
relief for civil rights violations was pled in some manner in
the complaint (trial doc. # 133, pg. 9-12; 42 U.S.C. §§ 1985
and 1986). Petitioner stated that he was retaliated against for
contacting and promising to contact regulatory bodies,
elected officials, and the police, in violation of the Freedom
of Petition (U.S.C. Const. Amend. I). Petitioner further
stated that he had been denied contact information for
military officials, which was needed to report crime, to seek
Pg. 8
corrective action based on the authority of those individuals,
and to serve process. The defendants have maintained,
enforced, and defended their policy of terminating and
defrauding anyone who contacts government (2 Amended
Complaint, Appendix I, citing CAPR 123-2 [Sep. 1999
version], par. 4d; and CAPR 123-2 [May 2003 version], par.
6e) Both the Air Force and Civil Air Patrol carried out at
least the termination of the petitioner and one Mr. Steven
Douglas Hays for contacting elected and regulatory
government officials. The petitioner and the bulk of the
defendants are in possession of the written confession and of
the nationally published confession. The long list of
defendants reviewed and upheld the terminations at their
board meetings, per policy. It is a felony (18 U.S.C. § 241)
and it is a cause of action (42 U.S.C. §§ 1985 and 1986) for
which the petitioner was denied a trial and a remedy. The
Board of Governors (hereinafter “BoG”) has absolute
authority and is under 50% control of the Secretary of the
USAF (2™ Amended Complaint, Appendix I, citing 10 USC
§ 9447; 36 U.S.C. § 40303[b]; AFPD 10-27, par. 9.8; and
AFI 10-2702, par. 4). The USAF approves of all CAP
policies (2"’ Amended Complaint, Appendix I, citing SoW
par. 11.2; and AFI 10-2701, par. 1.4.4 and par. 1.9.4). The
USAF controls the CAP through its CAP-USAF Commander
(AFPD 10-27 par. 9.6). The USAF reserves the right to
regulate corporate CAP activities at its pleasure (AFI 10-
2701, Attch #1, A1.2.6). With these considerations, the civil
rights violations are both a corporate and government action
(Grant v. Civil Air Patrol, No. 91-45-B, [D. NH 1995]).
Petitioner filed a Motion for Writ of Mandamus and
Preliminary Injunction against the USAF (trial doc. # 203).
In the interest of expediency, the petitioner refers the Court to
that document and to Appendix I of the 2" Amended
Complaint. In addition to the government control established
in the preceding paragraph, there are additional
considerations. The USAF officials on the BoG and one
member from CAP-USAF had to approve of petitioner’s
Pg. 9
felonious termination (§ 9447; AFI 10-2702, par. 2.6). The
Secretary of the USAF, with the approval of the Secretary of
Defense, must write USAF regulations to administer the
federal statutes (10 U.S.C. § 9448). Per the CAP-USAF
Statement of Work, the USAF must suspend funding and
mission status to CAP in the case of fraud or criminal activity
(SoW par. 2.3.1.1.), but has refused. The USAF has the
authority to suspend appropriated funds (SoW par. 5.4.3).
Three USAF actors, including an Inspector General
(hereinafter “IG”’) at CAP-USAF have sent letters to
petitioner, claiming they have no authority or responsibility
in the matters brought to light by petitioner. In fact, the IG
has no other purpose. The USAF officials on the BoG have
authority over the IG system (SoW par. 7.1; AFI 10-2702,
par. 2.5), which means the USAF approves of CAP’s
ongoing refusal to provide petitioner with the findings of the
IG investigation as required and agreed. Petitioner knows
that CAP cannot provide those findings because the findings
are a confession to fraud and theft by CAP personnel. The
USAF is supposed to require a complaints and whistleblower
protection program to protect petitioner (SoW par. 7.1.2 and
par. 7.1.2.1), which they have not done. The USAF and its
personnel have repeatedly rebelled against federal law,
USAF regulations, and the agreement between USAF and
CAP. Denying responsibility and refusing to stop the crime
and tort of fraud benefits the USAF, as it saves the USAF
millions of dollars annually on missions the CAP performs
on behalf of USAF. It is still the prerogative of the Court to
protect petitioner and to issue the necessary orders to enforce
laws, regulations, and agreements. The motion was denied
upon dismissal of the case (trial docs. # 232 and # 233).
In denying a trial, the 5" Circuit affirmed that
government may continue enforcing its written policy of
retaliating against and stealing money from anyone who
contacts their elected officials and regulatory officials. The
5" Circuit also gave license the USAF to continue violating a
litany of its own regulatory law.
Pg. 10
ARGUMENT #4
Petitioner filed for default judgments against two
groups of defendants (Motion for Default Judgment, trial
doc. # 215). Counsel for the United States stated on multiple
occasions that they were not representing the individual
government-actor defendants (trial docs. # 199, 210, & 211),
and petitioner responded to this problem at least once (trial
doc. # 206) prior to filing for default judgments. These
individuals were only being sued in their personal capacity,
as they were being sued for intentional torts and punitive
damages. As such, they filed no Answer nor made other
contact with the court. These individuals are identified on
page 2 of the motion.
The second group of defendants is those individials
who refused, ignored, rejected, or opened and then returned
their summons and complaint. These individuals are listed
on page 3 and 4 of the motion (Motion for Default Judgment,
trial doc. # 215). It is the petitioner’s position that such
defendants could not possibly have hired or acknowledged an
attorney if they did not know what cause or controversy the
attorney was to be hired for. Likewise, how can an attorney
for CAP claim to represent someone who has not solicited
representation or be allowed to represent all clients who
simply do not refuse the representation?
To further complicate the issue, some of these
defendants serve in dual or ex officio roles, while in one
position. Such individuals can be represented by the
government, the corporate-hired lawyer, or some other
lawyer. Upon Answers being filed by counsel, such dual
capacity defendants will have filed two conflicting answers.
Which one is the Court going to accept?
In a real flabbergasting moment, Judge Guthrie stated
that petitioner had no right to know who is representing who
(Order, trial doc. # 192; in response to Motion for Writ to
Clarify Defense Counsel, trial doc. # 186). Even the 5"
Circuit has contacted petitioner trying to ascertain such facts,
Pg. 11
as this information is devoid on the trial court docket sheet.
It is up to the Court to order default judgments, so as to
remedy this problem.
Procedural law provides for automatic default
judgments against those who do not appear (Fed. R. Civ. P.
Rule 55). No objections were ever filed. Judge Schneider
denied all pending motions on dismissal of the case (see
Appendix B on pg. 18) on February 22, 2006. This was forty
days after the motion was filed, meaning that any objection
would have been due much sooner, not that anyone was
representing said defendants.
ACTIONS
There is no lingering lack of clarity on causes of
action. Despite the lies and red herrings of the judges and
lawyers, everything has been made clear. The verbiage was
the result of excessive motions practice by defense lawyers
and the demand for an amended complaint with exhaustive
time, place, and person details.
Slander was spelled out in precise detail (2"¢
Amended Complaint, trial doc. # 133, pg. 13-15). No other
clarification was ever needed.
Libel was spelled out in precise detail (2"’ Amended
Complaint, trial doc. # 133, pg. 16-17). No other
clarification was ever needed.
Fraud was pled with several examples (2"' Amended
Complaint, trial doc. # 133, pg. 16-18) and with a laundry list
of the policies and regulations used to defraud petitioner (trial
doc. # 133, Appendix I). As pled, fraud occurred where the
defendants extorted money from the petitioner with false
promises of whistleblower protection, promising to terminate
all of the offenders for the protection of plaintiff, and that the
petitioner could not be terminated without violating policies.
Breach of fiduciary duty was pled in the 2" Amended
Complaint (trial doc. # 133, pg. 18-19). As explained, Gary
Pg. 12
Blevins broke promises to the petitioner that he would not
release stolen funds to his co-conspirators. Dennis Bennett
and Gary Jackson conspired with Blevins to steal money and
seize confidential bank records to which only the petitioner
had a right to at the time. As such, the bank and the named
individuals breached fiduciary duty with petitioner. No more
clarification is needed.
Damages resulting from theft was pled in the
Amended Complaint (trial doc. # 133, pg. 19). As explained,
the defendants stole the petitioner’s personal property in both
the Tyler and Palestine facilities of Civil Air Patrol. This
was explained in greater detail subsequently (trial doc. # 201,
p. 6). Though lying lawyers have claimed this cause of
action is vague, the defendants have the property records
showing what property they stole from petitioner. The
petitioner was also defrauded of tens of thousands of dollars
through fraud that he gave to Civil Air Patrol on false
pretenses, as explained in the fraud section.
Intentional infliction of emotional distress was pled
with amazing clarity in the 2"’ Amended Complaint (trial
doc. # 133, pg. 20-21).
Negligence was pled in the 2" Amended Complaint
(trial doc. # 133, pg. 21). The foregoing causes of action
explained the intentional torts. As pled, all officers and
governors received letters from the petitioner informing them
of the harm, and of the violations of policy or contract, and
each was intentionally negligent in refusing to enforce the
policies or restore the petitioner. Each refused to provide
whistleblower protection as promised and each refused to
terminate the offenders as promised.
Breach of contract was succinctly pled in the 2"
Amended Complaint (trial doc. # 133, pg. 21-22). As pled,
the defendants defied the policies providing whistleblower
protection, privileges and conditions of membership, terms of
investigations, inspector general investigations, terminations
and appeals, and MARB appeals. The 2"? Amended
Complaint provides an exhaustive list of the breaches (trial
Pg. 13
doc. # 133, Appendix I). Here are a few examples. The
USAF mandates and promises whistleblower protection
(SoW par. 7.1.2.1). CAP guarantees that assailants will be
terminated (CAPR 35-3, Sect. B, par. 4b; CAPR 35-3, Sect.
A, par. 1b). Complaints must be investigated (CAPR 35-3,
Sec. C, par. 5). Termination victims must be told the
charges against them (CAPR 35-3, Sect. C, par. 6b). The
victim has the right to interview witnesses at his termination
hearing (CAPR 35-3, Sec. D, Par. 9 [b][1] [version Dec
2002]). Not one of these contractual terms were complied
with, resulting in the petitioner being victimized though fraud
and theft. Though lying lawyers contend this is not very
specific, each and every defendant has received detailed
letters from the petitioner providing the details. For example,
each knows that the inspector general contract was not
followed, because the inspector general refused to submit to
petitioner his findings, which were a ccnfession of felony
fraud, as reported by petitioner. Contrary to the lying judges’
comments, no fact is left unclear to the defendants, and no
one has to “fish a gold coin from a bucket of mud”.
Conspiracy Against Rights as a cause of action (42
U.S.C. §§ 1985 and 1986) was explained in argument # 3
above.
CONCLUSION
The simple fact remains that the judges did not want
this matter to go to trial. Each had to lie in order to justify
denying a trial. The magistrate’s order was obeyed to the
extent relevant to the case. Subsequently, every challenge
raised against the Complaint was responded to in exhaustive
detail. It is impossible to argue that all causes of action are
unclear. Little could be left to the imagination. Slander, for
example, could not have been more specific. Yet, the case
was dismissed in its entirety.

Defendant-Appellees
Appeal from the United States District Court for
The Eastern District of Texas
(USDC No. 6:05-CV-193)
Before REAVLEY, BARKSDALE, and OWEN, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:
" Pursuant to 5" Cir. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this
opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under
the limited circumstances set forth in
Pg. 16
Plaintiff Aric Hall, pro se, appeals the district court’s
order dismissing his civil complaint with prejudice under
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for non-compliance
with an order to conform his complaint to the requirements of
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a), and for failing to state a
claim pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6).".
We affirm for the following reasons:
1. Upon review of the record, and consideration of
Hall’s brief, we find no reversible error here. Hall’s first
amended complaint was twenty-five pages long and named
151 defendants, including President George W. Bush and
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The magistrate
judge explicitly instructed Hall to amerd his complaint to
include the “time, place or person details concerning the
alleged reporting of violations,” and to “set[] forth sufficient
factual allegations and the legal basis upon which the
Plaintiff believes that the United States Air Force,
Department of Defense and individual defendants are liable
to him for monetary damages.”
Instead of clarifying his complaint, Hall filed his
second amended complaint which was seventy-five pages
long, contained nine appendices including a key with a list of
acronyms, and named 177 defendants. The appendices
contain hundreds of names, dates, and assertions without
showing how the information bears upon the complaint. The
second amended complaint was not better than its
predecessor and failed to correct any of the deficiencies noted
by the court. As the Seventh Circuit so aptly stated:
5" Cir. R. 47.5.4.
' We need not reach the Rule 12(b)(6) issue as the district
court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the complaint with
prejudice for failure to comply with a court order and the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure.
Pg. 17
Rule 8(a) requires parties to make their pleadings
straightforward, so that judges and adverse
parties need not try to fish a gold coin from a
bucket of mud. Federal judges have better things
to do, and the substantial subsidy of
litigation...should be targeted on those litigants
who take the preliminary steps to assemble a
comprehensible claim.
United States ex rel. Garst v. Lockheed-Martin Corp., 328
F.3d 374, 378 (7" Cir. 2003). Where, as here, a plaintiff has
been given leave to file a second amended complaint that
meets the requirements of Rule 8(a) and fails to do so, the
case should be dismissed. The style and prolixity of Hall’s
pleadings would have made an orderly trial impossible.
Hall’s deliberate persistence in refusing to conform his
pleadings to the requirements of Rule 8 justified dismissal of
the complaint with prejudice.
2. Hall also argues that a default judgment should
have been entered against the non-appearing defendants.
While the district court never ruled directly on Hall’s motion
for default judgment or the government’s motion for an
extension of time for these defendants to answer, all of the
defendants were named in the same defective pleading and
were entitled to dismissal for Hall’s deliberate persistence in
refusing to conform his pleadings to the requirements of Rule
8.
Pg. 18
3. Hall filed a motion for temporary injunction
against the Civil Air Patrol that was denied by the district
court. In his prayer for relief in this court. Hall requests that
this court “use its own authority or force the district court to
use common sense and rational discretion in granting the
Motion for Injunction against” the Civil Air Patrol. Because
this issue was not briefed by Hall, it is waived. Matassarin v.
Lynch, 174 F.3d 549, 570 (5™ Cir. 1999).
AFFIRMED.

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES
MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge, which contains her findings, conclusions, and a
recommendation for the disposition of this action, has been
presented for consideration. The Report and
Recommendations recommends that Defendant Civil Air
Patrol, Inc.’s Motion to Dismiss (document #15), Defendant
Gary Jackson’s Motion to Dismiss (document #161),
Defendant Henry Schlattner’s Motion to Dismiss (document
#195), Defendant Civil Air Patrol, Inc. and Dennis Bennett’s
Renewed Motion to Dismiss (document #197) and Defendant
United States Air Force, the United States Department of
Defense, and All Federal Defendants in Their Official
Capacities’ Motion to Dismiss (document #198) be granted
and that the complaint be dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiff
filed written objections to the Report and Recommendation
on February 6, 2006. A response was filed by Defendants
United States Air Force, the United States Department of
Defense and all federal defendants in their official capacities
Pg. 20
on February 19, 2006. Plaintiff then f filed a reply on
February 21, 2006. ae
Having made a de novo review of the objections filed
by Plaintiff and the response and reply thereto, the Court
finds that the findings, conclusions and recommendation of
the Magistrate Judge are correct and the objections are
without merit. Despite being given ample opportunity to
amend his complaint, Plaintiff has not adequately stated
claims upon which relief may be granted and he has not
complied with the September 29, 2005 Order to submit an
amended complaint with sufficient factual allegations and an
explanation of the legal bases upon which is relying to seek
relief. Plaintiff's pleadings are voluminous, but provide no
more than conclusory allegations and accusations. At its
core, Plaintiff's complaint is that his membership in the Civil
Air Patrol was terminated because he allegedly complained
about the activities of various other Civil Air Patrol members
and alleged that those members were violating policies or
committing crimes. He alleges that all of the defendants
engaged in a conspiracy against him. Indeed, Plaintiff now
asserts that the United states Magistrate Judge Judith Guthrie
has joined the conspiracy against him by issuing a Report and
Recommendation recommending dismissal of his claims.
Plaintiff's pleadings are insufficient to state a claim and
Plaintiff has not complied with the Order issued on
September 29, 2005. Therefore, the findings and conclusions
of the Magistrate J one are hereby adopted as those of the
Court. r
In light of the foregoing, it is
ORDERED that Defendant Civil Air Patrol, Inc.’s
Motion to Dismiss (document #15), Defendant Gary
Jackson’s Motion to Dismiss (document #161), Defendant
Henry Schlattner’s Motion to Dismiss (document #195),

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff, Aric Hall, proceeding pro se, filed the
above-styled lawsuit on June 1, 2005. An Amended
Complaint was filed on July 5, 2005, and a Second Amended
complaint was filed on October 24, 2005. The matter was
referred to the undersigned for all pretrial matters. There are
several pending motions to dismiss. Defendant Civil Air
Patrol, Inc., (“CAP”) filed a Motion to Dismiss (document
#15) on August 1, 2005. Defendant Gary Jackson filed a
motion seeking to join in CAP’s motion to dismiss
(document #161) on November 15, 2005. Defendant Henry
Schlattner filed a Motion to Dismiss (document #195) on
December 2, 2005. Defendants Civil Air Patrol, Inc., and
Dennis Bennett filed a Renewed Motion to Dismiss
(document #197) on December 7, 2005. On the same date,
Defendants United States Air Force, United States
Department of Defense and All Federal Defendants in Their
Official Capacities filed a Motion to Dismiss (document
#198). For the reasons assigned below, the undersigned finds
Pg. 24
that the motions to dismiss should be granted and the above-
styled lawsuit should be dismissed with prejudice.
Background
Plaintiff is a former volunteer member of CAP. He
alleges that his membership was terminated in retaliation for
reporting violations of CAP policy. The original complaint
lists more than one hundred and forty defendants. Plaintiff
amended his complaint on July 5, 2005, adding five
additional defendants, including President George W. Bush
and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. A motion for
more definite statement was granted on September 29, 2005,
and Plaintiff was ordered to file and serve on Defendants an
Amended Complaint setting forth sufficient factual
allegations and the legal basis upon which Plaintiff believes
that the United States Air Force, Department of Defense and
individual defendants are liable to him for monetary
damages. Plaintiff filed a lengthy Second Amended
Complaint on October 24, 2005, adding another twenty-five
defendants to his lawsuit.
In his Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff alleges
that he reported violations of CAP policy and criminal law
“to the persons required by CAP policy and the CAP-USAF
Statement of Work.” He asserts that this reports resulted in
“cover-up investigations” and that he was “terminated and
otherwise retaliated against for doing as required.” He
complains that CAP has not provided a justification for the
termination of his membership. According to Plaintiff,
“[e]ach defendant engaged in complex and organized crimes,
torts, and breaches of implied contract against plaintiff,
culminating in the termination and public defamation of
plaintiff.” Plaintiff argues that “each defendant” had a duty
to act on his reports of violations, but failed to do so. With
regard to jurisdiction, Plaintiff alleges that there is a federal
question jurisdiction because the United States Air Force
Pg. 25
(“USAF”), CAP and other individuals conspired to violate
his civil rights.
Plaintiff alleges that he was retaliated against because
he contacted a senator, state and federal regulatory agencies
and the police, and he threatened to contact other
congressmen on September 23, 2002. He does not explain
what form of retaliation allegedly occurred. He submits that
he first forwarded complaints to USAF personnel in October
2002. Plaintiff complains that he sent letters to various
USAF officials regarding the alleged “crimes,” and received
some letters back stating that the USAF would not involve
itself in CAP matters. Plaintiff further alleges that CAP
changed its policies concerning internal investigations to
further cover-up the activities complained of by Plaintiff.
Plaintiff submits that the defendants conspired to violate his
constitutional rights of freedom of speech, right to petition
the government and freedom of association. It is Plaintiff's
belief that “each defendant may have contributed to the
actions against plaintiff, or at least interfered with the
restoration of plaintiff in some way.”
Plaintiff additionally asserts the following claims:
slander, libel, fraud and misrepresentation, breach of
fiduciary duty, theft and conversion of personal property,
interference with “prospective advantage,” malicious
prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress,
negligence, and breach of contract. Plaintiff alleges that he
was slandered on various occasions when certain individual
defendants either stated or implied that Plaintiff had
threatened deadly force against someone, that he is a habitual
complainer, that he was unfit to lead and that he was trying to
destroy CAP. He submits that libelous statements were
published in CAP newsletters concerning his termination.
Plaintiff argues that CAP and its officers committed fraud by
encouraging him to spend his time and money on CAP and
then failing to uphold CAP policies or provide him with
whistleblower protection. Plaintiff's breach of fiduciary duty
claim is directed at Arp State Bank, Blevins, Bennett,
Pg. 26
Jackson, Tom Todd, Mundt, Warren and CAP. Without
explanation, Plaintiff alleges that “[dJefendants are in
possession of stolen property from plaintiff.” He does not
identify the personal property. Plaintiff complains that he
has lost employment and personal references among CAP
personnel due to the libelous and defamatory statements
made about him. Plaintiff argues that his termination from
CAP amounted to malicious prosecution. According to
Plaintiff, the efforts to terminate his membership and to
cover-up violations of CAP policy caused an intentional
infliction of emotional distress and each defendant in a
position of responsibility was negligent for not taking action
to address his complaints. Finally, Plaintiff alleges that CAP
breached an implied contract to provide whistleblower
protections and conduct a proper investigation. Plaintiff
seeks equitable relief, compensatory damages and punitive
damages.
CAP and Dennis Bennett seek dismissal of the
complaint because Plaintiff cannot state any set of facts that
would allow relief under the causes of action asserted in the
Second Amended Complaint. Defendants argue that Plaintiff
has not submitted sufficient factual allegations to support a
cause of action. Defendants USAF, United States
Department of Defense, and the individual federal defendants
assert that the complaint should be dismissed with prejudice
because Plaintiff did not comply with the September 29,
2005 Order to submit an amended complaint with sufficient
factual allegations and an explanation of the legal bases upon
which he is relying to seek relief. Defendants further argue
that the complaint is deficient pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a).
Discussion and Analysis
A pro se litigant’s pleadings are to be liberally
construed and his compiaint should only be dismissed for
failure to state a claim if it appears beyond doubt that he can
prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would
Pg. 27
entitle him to relief. Barksdale v. King, 699 F.2d 744, 746
(5™ Cir. 1983). All well-pleaded facts must be accepted as
true for purposes of a motion to dismiss pursuant to
Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6), and well-pleaded facts are to be
viewed in the light most favorable to plaintiff. Calhoun v.
Hargrove, 312 F.3d 730, 733 (5" Cir. 2002) (citing
McCartney v. First City Bank, 970 F.2d 45, 47 (5'
2992)).
Following the filing of Plaintiff's First Amended
Complaint, Defendants USAF and United States Department
of Defense filed a motion for more definite statement
asserting that the complaint was ambiguous and did not
contain sufficient information to allow a responsive pleading
to be framed. More specifically, the Defendants argued that
Plaintiff failed to adequately plead his theories of relief and
did not identify each defendant’s participation in causing his
alleged injuries. The First Amended complaint did not
provide sufficient factual information concerning Plaintiffs
claims or clearly set forth Plaintiff's legal basis for seeking
relief in this case. The undersigned granted the motion and
delayed consideration of CAP’s first motion to dismiss until
Plaintiff had been given an opportunity to correct the
deficiencies in his complaint.
In this case, Plaintiff has been given ample
opportunity to amend his complaint. Rather than clarifying
his claims in his Second Amended Complaint, Plaintiff used
this pleading to add even more defendants without providing
specific facts stating a cause of action against any of them.
Though lengthy, Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint
contains very little facts. The pleading is rife with
conclusions and accusations, but does not offer much factual
information. The basic facts in the complaint are that
Plaintiff was a member of CAP, Plaintiff complained about
the activities of various other CAP members and alleged that
they were violating CAP policy or committing crimes, and
Plaintiff feels that his membership from CAP was unjustly
terminated. Beyond that, Plaintiff alleges that there was a
Cir. -
Pg. 28
general conspiracy among all of the defendants to violate his
constitutional rights of freedom of speech, right to petition
the government and freedom of association and that “each
defendant may have contributed to the actions against
plaintiff, or at least interfered with the restoration of plaintiff
in some way.” He states that he is asserting claims such as
slander, libel, malicious prosecution, fraud, breach of
contract, theft and conversion of personal property,
interference with “prospective advantage,” intentional
infliction of emotional distress, breach of fiduciary duty and
negligence. Even taking Plaintiffs allegations as true,
however, he does not plead facts to support the elements of
these theories of liability or explain each individual
defendant’s participation. He does not allege facts showing
that a contract or fiduciary duty existed to be breached or that
a theft or conversion of property occurred. Likewise, he does
not allege facts stating a claim of malicious prosecution,
fraud, slander or libel. There are no well-pleaded facts
showing an intentional infliction of emotional distress or
negligence. It is also not clear what Plaintiff means by
“interference with prospective advantage.”
Plaintiff does not clarify his claims in his responses to
the motions to dismiss. Rather, he asserts that the
Defendants should know the claims against them because
they have more information than he does. He further states
that he “is not going to bet very specific when witnesses can
be tampered with and documents can succumb to the
evidence tampering device (shredder).” What is clear from
Plaintiff's pleadings is that he endeavored to sue every
person that he came into contact with in CAP, every person
that he submitted a grievance to, and everyone that he
believes should have known about his complaints and should
have done something for him.
In this case, Plaintiff has not adequately stated claims
upon which relief may be granted and he has not complied
with the September 29, 2005 Order to submit an amended
complaint with sufficient factual allegations and an
Pg. 29
explanation of the legal bases upon which he is relying to
seek relief. For these reasons, the undersigned finds that the
Motions to Dismiss should be granted and the complaint
should be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P.
12(b)(6) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b).
Recommendation
It is recommended that Defendant Civil Air Patrol,
Inc.’s Motion to Dismiss (document #15), Defendant Gary
Jackson’s Motion to Dismiss (document #161), Defendant
Henry Schlattner’s Motion to Dismiss (documents #195),
Defendant Civil Air Patrol, Inc. and Dennis Bennett’s
Renewed Motion to Dismiss (document #197) and Defendant
United States Air Force, the United States Department of
Defense, and All Federal Defendants in Their Official
Capacities’ Motion to Dismiss (document #198) be granted
and that the complaint be dismissed with prejudice.
Within ten (10) days after receipt of the magistrate
judge’s report, any party may serve and file written
objections to the findings and recommendations of the
magistrate judge.
A party’s failure to file written objections to the
findings, conclusions and recommendations contained in this
Report within ten days after service shall bar that party from
de novo review by the district judge of those findings,
conclusions and recommendations and, except upon grounds
of plain error, from attacking on appeal the unobjected-to
proposed factual findings and legal conclusions accepted and
adopted by the district court. Douglass v. United Services
Auto. Assn., 79 F.3d 1415, 1430 (5" Cir. 1996) (en banc).
