v.

No. 06-1281

District of Colorado

(D.C. No. 06-CV-676-ZLW)

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before MURPHY, SEYMOUR, and McCONNELL, Circuit Judges.

Appellant Jungle Democracy, a/k/a Kamal K. K. Roy, a/k/a Joseph Geronimo, Jr. filed a 115-page complaint, a 144-page amended complaint, and a 40-page second amended complaint against over sixty defendants, including among many others President Bush, God as U.S.-based divine benefactor, several government agencies, The New York Times, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. In addition to pages of rambling discourse, the complaint contains numerous illegible handwritten remarks. The district court dismissed the complaint because it failed to comply with Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We affirm.

Rule 8 requires that the parties file "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). A pleading also must be specific enough to "give the defendant fair notice of what the plaintiff's claim is and the ground upon which it rests." Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 47 (1957). In this case, no discernible claim is apparent from the complaint, and it does not give fair notice to the defendants regarding the grounds upon which the plaintiff's claims rest. We also strongly suspect at least one defendant was not properly served.

Jungle Democracy's appeal is as unintelligible as its complaint and also states no grounds for relief. We agree with the district court that Jungle Democracy's complaint fails to meet the "short and plain" requirements of Rule 8(a). Because Jungle Democracy failed to raise any nonfrivolous argument in support of its appeal, see McIntosh v. U.S. Parole Comm'n, 115 F.3d 809, 812 (10th Cir. 1997), we also deny his Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis.

The Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis is DENIED, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
