laintiff has until November 26, 2004 to correct the deficiencies. If plaintiff does so, the other MTDs stand consideration. HS 1 If Plaintiff is able to cure the deficiencies set forth in this Memorandum through an amended pleading on or before November 26, 2004, then the Court will reopen Plaintiffs case sua sponte. See Grayson v. Mayview State Hosp., 293 F.3d 103, 108 (3d Cir. 2002). IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA GORDON ROY PARKER, : CIVIL ACTION Plaintiff, : :v. : :LEARN THE SKILLS CORP., et al., : Defendants. : No. 03-6936 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER J. M. KELLY, J. OCTOBER , 2004 Presently before the Court is Plaintiff Gordon Roy Parkers (Plaintiff) Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 2), Defendant Thomas Geigers (Defendant) motion captioned, Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, Failure to State a Claim upon which Relief can be Granted, Improper Venue or, in the Alternative, For a More Definite Statement (Motion) (Doc. No. 6) and Defendants Amended Motion to Dismiss (Amended Motion) (Doc. No. 25), and Plaintiffs respective Responses in opposition thereto (Doc. Nos. 21 & 30). For the reasons set out below, Plaintiffs Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 2) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.1 I. INTRODUCTION On December 30, 2004, pro se Plaintiff Gordon Roy Parker filed this action against pro se Defendant Geiger, Defendant 2 Rule 12(e) provides: If a pleading to which a responsive pleading is permitted is so vague or ambiguous that a party cannot reasonably be required to frame a responsive pleading, the party may move for a more definite statement before interposing a responsive pleading. The motion shall point out the defects complained of and the details desired. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(e). 3 Rule 8(a) provides, in pertinent part, [a] pleading which sets forth a claim for relief . . . shall contain . . . (2) a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). 2Learn The Skills Corporation, and one-hundred anonymous defendants. Plaintiffs Amended Complaint seeks relief under theories of Libel, Trade Libel, Invasion of Privacy, Copyright Infringement, Unfair Competition, Unjust Enrichment, Tortious Interference and Civil Conspiracy, and for Federal Lanham Act and RICO Violations. In response, pro se Defendant Geiger moves for a more definite statement of Plaintiffs claims pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(e).2 Defendant Geiger argues that the substance of Plaintiffs claims is unascertainable from the eighty page Amended Complaint. After reviewing pro se Defendant Geigers argument, we also construe his motion as seeking dismissal for Plaintiffs failure to comply with the short and plain statement requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2).3 3II. STANDARD OF REVIEW Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(e) and 8(a)(2) guard against vague and ambiguous complaints that impede either the defendants receipt of adequate notice of the claims asserted against them or their ability to form a responsive pleading. See Schaedler v. Reading Eagle Publications, Inc., 370 F.2d 795, 798 (3d Cir. 1967). Pro se Defendant Geigers Motion argues that the Amended Complaint does not state Plaintiffs claims with clarity sufficient to allow him to frame a responsive pleading. We find pro se Defendant Geigers inability to respond is due in large part to the lack of a short and plain statement of the claims upon which relief should be granted and, therefore, we discuss pro se Defendant Geigers arguments under Rule 8(a)(2). Rule 8(a) calls for a short and plain statement of both the jurisdictional grounds and the claims supporting the plaintiffs request for relief. Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a). The purpose of the short and plain statement requirement is to give the defendant fair notice of what the plaintiffs claim is and the grounds upon which it rests. Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46 (1957); see also Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 512 (2002). Violations of the short and plain statement rule have included complaints that were too long, repetitious, or confused. See In re Westinghouse Secs. Litigation, 90 F.3d 696, 703 (3d Cir. 1996) (finding that a complaint more than 600 4paragraphs and 240 pages was too long); see also U.S. ex rel Dattola v. National Treasury Employees Union, 86 F.R.D. 496 (W.D.Pa. 1980) (holding that a pro se complaint charging over one-hundred defendants with several claims was too confused). In short, as Judge Easterbrook summarized, Rule 8(a) requires parties to make their pleadings straight forward, so that judges and adverse parties need not try to fish a gold coin from a bucket of mud. United States, ex rel. Garst v. Lockheed-Martin Corp., 328 F.3d 374, 378 (7th Cir. 2003). III. DISCUSSION Plaintiffs Amended Complaint is long and disorderly. The length of Plaintiffs Amended Complaint ballooned to eighty single and double spaced pages with 320 paragraphs. As part of his Amended Complaint, Plaintiff wrote an overview of the alleged wrongful conduct that consists of fifty-three pages and 208 paragraphs with cross references to another eighty-seven pages of single-spaced exhibits. A lenient reading of Plaintiffs Amended Complaint does not reveal a short and plain statement. See Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972) (stating the proposition that pro se complaints must be reviewed with leniency). While a complaints excessive length alone is not determinative for a Rule 8(a) dismissal, its excessive length 4 By the time Plaintiff begins to assert claims against the defendants, 232 paragraphs have elapsed from which the defendants are to cross-reference in order to decipher the factual support of the claims against them. In essence, Plaintiff has created the bucket of mud that Rule 8(a) guards against. See United States, ex rel. Garst, 328 F.3d at 378; see also Mendez v. Draham, 182 F.Supp. 2d 430, 433 (D.C.N.J. 2002) (finding that [o]nly through superhuman patience, effort, and insight could any attorney review the allegations of the Complaint and make paragraph-by-paragraph responses. . . . [T]he Defendants attorneys do not have the luxury of clicking the paste button on their computer; if they fail to notice that one or two words have been varied, with meaningful import . . . they face the risk of malpractice). 5compounded by a lack of clarity should deem it unacceptable. See In re Westinghouse Secs. Litigation, 90 F.3d at 703. Plaintiffs Amended Complaint is marred by its near-incomprehensible structure and content. For example, it appears as if the first sixty pages of Plaintiffs Amended Complaint are superfluous because they consist of alleged facts with no contextual structure. It is not until page sixty-one that Plaintiff begins describing the twenty-three counts he alleges against the 102 defendants. Instead of plainly stating his claims against the defendants, Plaintiff overwhelms the defendants with acronyms and confusing cross-references to the alleged facts and anonymous defendants.4 Therefore, throughout Plaintiffs entire Amended Complaint, there is a complete omission of a short and plain statement necessary to give the defendants proper notice of the claims against them. Although pro se complaints are held to a less stri

But a lump of coal can still be burned for heat, and thus is useful. The remaining ashes can be compressed and used in a writing utensil to communicate ideas or to create lasting works of art which can be appreciated by many. The US Ray's legal brief was a waste of resources, much like the US Ray himself. My thoughts regarding people who have a firm belief that women deserve to be raped, abused and murdered is well known and documented. I am not ashamed of my words, even if others have called me "sick." I stand behind my convictions.

His mom doesn't have to buy coal or burn paper to have all the hot air she needs in her apartment. He has been spamming groups today that don't know him as well, and posing as different people. Sounds to me like he wittle feelings are hurt. Oh the horror...... I was chatting with one of the lawyers in the company the other day about him and his desire to have a woman from overseas. Did you know that the Government won't allow you to sponsor the immigration of another person into the USA unless you can prove sufficient income to be able to support that person? Now since he lives with mommy, has a disease that nobody wants, and has income below the poverty line, how can he hope to be able to support another person? Yet in his aol profile, that is what he says..... I think the white coats are getting closer... BM

I have to say that I had rarely seen a judicial opinion that made me laugh as hard as Easterbrook's comment that judges and adverse parties "should not have to fish for a gold coin in a bucket of mud". Until I saw this one. Congratulations, Mr. Parker! You've created the proverbial "bucket of mud"! T.
