    MOTION TO DISMISS AND MEMORANDUM OF LAW

    NOW COMES the United States of America, by and through its

    undersigned attorneys, and hereby moves to dismiss Plaintiffs

    Complaint as frivolous and barred by absolute immunity. A

    memorandum in support is included herein.

    BACKGROUND

    This Court, unfortunately, is all too familiar with

    Plaintiffs grievances and litigious history. A brief synopsis

    is set forth herein, but a more thorough history of Plaintiffs

    filings can be found in the Governments Motion to Dismiss in

    Busse VII, No. 2:09-CV-791 [DE-69], and this Courts Order

    entered on June 23, 2010 [DE-213].

    Case 2:10-cv-00089-CEH-TGW Document 29 Filed 06/30/10 Page 1 of 8

    6/12

    Starting in 2007, Plaintiff Jorg Busse and others began a

    campaign against Lee County, Florida, and other persons and

    entities, alleging that their property in the Cayo Costa

    subdivision had been illegally taken. Plaintiffs filed a

    complaint with this Court alleging Constitutional deprivations.

    Busse I, No. 2:07-CV-228, affd 317 Fed. Appx. 395 (11th Cir.

    Mar. 5, 2009). Plaintiffs first case was not facially improper,

    but after a full and fair opportunity to litigate their case,

    Plaintiffs complaint was dismissed as unripe because Plaintiffs

    had not availed themselves of state remedies. Plaintiffs then

    persisted to file lawsuit after lawsuit now totaling nine

    separate complaints attempting to re-litigate the same

    constitutional claims and adding allegations of an ever-growing

    conspiracy theory of fraud and corruption against anyone involved

    in his previous lawsuits who opposed him.

    All of Plaintiffs lawsuits except for this case and one

    after-filed Complaint (No. 2:10-CV-390) have been dismissed,

    often summarily, as wanting jurisdiction or meritless. Each of

    Plaintiffs numerous appeals from this Courts decisions have

    resulted in affirmation or dismissal. The Complaint in this case

    is based on the same core facts and allegations that this Court

    has rejected in each of the past cases, including Busse V, No.

    2:09-CV-341, which also named each of the federal defendants

    named herein, asserted the same unsupported allegations of

    2

    conspiracy and corruption, and which was summarily dismissed with

    prejudice by Judge Lazzara as patently frivolous, vexatious, and

    harassing with little or no chance of success [Busse V, DE-17].

    ARGUMENT

    A. Plaintiffs complaint is patently frivolous and barred byres judicata.

    Insofar as this case involves the same parties and

    indistinguishable claims as Plaintiffs prior lawsuits that have

    been dismissed with prejudice, including, inter alia, Busse V,

    No. 2:09-CV-341, the Court should likewise dismiss the instant

    complaint on grounds of res judicata and frivolity. See Davila

    v. Delta Air Lines, Inc., 326 F.3d 1183, 1187 (11th Cir. 2003)

    (res judicata absolutely bars re-litigation of claims after a

    final judgment on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction

    where there is an identity of parties and the actions are based

    on the same factual predicate). The frivolity of this lawsuit is

    further evidenced by the sheer volume of filings that this Court

    and the named defendants have been compelled to expend valuable

    time and resources responding to; the Plaintiffs utter contempt

    of this Courts authority, principles of res judicata, and the

    rule of law; the scurrilous and delusory accusations lodged

    against judicial officers and other irreproachable public

    servants; and Plaintiffs inability to state a coherent claim

    despite their painfully obvious familiarity with our Constitution

    and judicial system.

    8/12

    B. Plaintiffs yet again fail to articulate a plausible claimupon which relief can be granted.

    As this Court noted in the sound and cogent analysis of the

    Busse litigation contained in its June 23, 2010, Order [Busse

    VII, DE-213, at pp. 20-21], Plaintiffs allegations, to the

    extent any sense can be made of them, are essentially criminal in

    nature. In that same Order, the Court has already analyzed and

    explained why Plaintiffs are not entitled to relief under the

    various constitutional provisions upon which they rely. The only

    other vehicle for charging essentially criminal conduct in a

    civil forum is a suit under the civil provisions of the Racketeer

    Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (civil RICO), 18

    U.S.C. 1964(c).1

    Complaints asserting civil RICO claims must comply not only

    with the plausibility criteria articulated in Twombly and Iqbal

    but also with Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b)s heightened pleading

    standard. American Dental Assn v. Cigna Corp., 605 F.3d 1283,

    --- (11th Cir. 2010). As the Court previously noted, Plaintiffs

    repetitious and voluminous pleadings are convoluted and

    incomprehensible, contain[] incoherent and rambling claims of

    alleged wrongdoing, and consist of conclusory statements

    The case of Davis v. Kvalheim, 261 Fed. Appx. 231 (11th1

    Cir. 2008), a matter to which the Busse cases have frequentlybeen analogized [see, e.g., Busse V, DE-17], was a civil RICOcase filed against every judge and other governmental official(totaling 129 defendants) that plaintiff imagine[d to] have donehim wrong. Id. at 235.

    wholly lacking a factual basis [Busse VII, DE-213, at pp. 12,

    15, 18]. The Complaint in this case consists of more of the same

    incoherent drivel, and fails to buttress any of the sensational

    and outlandish accusations already presented to and decided by

    the Court with the kind of additional factual support needed to

    plead a plausible claim for relief. Bell Atlantic Corp. v.

    Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007). Consequently, this case should be

    dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be

    granted. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6).

    C. Even assuming the truth of the allegations, Plaintiffscivil claims are barred by the doctrine of absoluteimmunity.2

    Few doctrines [are] more solidly established at common law

    than the immunity of judges from liability for damages from acts

    committed within their judicial jurisdiction. Pierson v. Ray,

    386 U.S. 547, 553-54 (1967). Judicial immunity applies even

    when the judge is accused of acting maliciously and corruptly,

    id. at 554, and prevails even over allegations of bribery and

    conspiracy such as Plaintiffs assert here, see Sparks v. Duval

    County Ranch Co., 604 F.2d 976, 978 (5th Cir. 1979). Judicial

    immunity provides judges with a blanket immunity from civil

    liability, to include civil liability under RICO, for any

    Insofar as this is an official capacity suit properly2

    brought against the United States and not the individual federalofficers, the United States may assert any defense based uponjudicial immunity that would otherwise be available to theindividual officer. See 28 U.S.C. 2674.

    judicial act over which they may exercise jurisdiction. Wilson

    v. Bush, 196 Fed. Appx. 796, 799 (11th Cir. 2006); see also Glick

    v. Gutbrod, 782 F.2d 754 (7th Cir. 1986).

    Likewise, [o]fficials charged with the duty of executing a

    facially valid court order enjoy absolute quasi-judicial immunity

    from liability for damages in a suit challenging conduct

    prescribed by that order. King v. Thornburg, 762 F.Supp. 336,

    341 (S.D. Ga. 1991). Because absolute quasi-judicial immunity

    derives from judicial immunity, it applies whenever a Deputy U.S.

    Marshal executes a judicial order for which the issuing judge

    would be immune from liability. Id.

    In the instant Complaint, Plaintiffs continue their

    insidious attack on the judicial orders that were issued on the

    merits of his initial case, the sanctions that were imposed by

    the Eleventh Circuit for pursuing a frivolous appeal, and the

    writ of execution that was issued to enforce the judgment. [See

    Compl., DE-1,passimreferences to the fraudulent orders and

    writ of execution]. The entry of orders, sanctions, and writs

    of execution are quintessential judicial functions over which the

    named judicial defendants would have absolute judicial immunity

    from civil suit. Therefore, the claims arising out of the

    judicial acts of Judges Dubina, Tjoflat, Birch, Steele, Lazarra,

    and Chappell should be dismissed. Deputy Marshal Richard

    Jessups primary involvement in this case appears to be related

    6

    11/12

    to the performance of his duty to serve Busse with the writ of

    execution. [Busse I, DE-429.] Accordingly, Deputy Jessup would

    be entitled to quasi-judicial immunity, and the claim arising out

    of his acts should likewise be dismissed.

    WHEREFORE, the United States respectfully requests that the

    Court dismiss Plaintiffs complaint.
