In Nobile v. Biden, Judge Swain dismissed the complaint without prejudice and denied permission to appeal without paying filing fees.

Who this affects

Natacha Nobile’s complaint was dismissed without prejudice. The order also denied her permission to appeal without paying filing fees and directed entry of judgment in the action.

What happened

In Nobile v. Biden, the court dismissed Natacha Nobile’s complaint after she did not submit an original signature on the required signature page.

The court had ordered Nobile to resubmit the signed page within thirty days and warned that failing to do so would lead to dismissal. Nobile instead filed letters saying she had withdrawn her cases involving Joe Biden and asking for immunity.

The court dismissed the complaint without prejudice, meaning it was not barred from being filed again on that basis. Judge Laura Taylor Swain also ruled that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied Nobile permission to appeal without paying filing fees. The clerk was directed to enter judgment.

Case
Nobile v. Biden · No. 1:24-cv-01108
Judge
Laura Swain
Date
Apr. 3, 2024

Background

The defendants named in the caption were Joe Biden, Paris Hilton, and “all who they were working with doing crimes.” The court had previously ordered Natacha Nobile to resubmit the signature page of her amended complaint with an original signature within thirty days. The court warned that failure to comply would result in dismissal.

Nobile did not submit the signed signature page. Instead, she filed a March 12, 2024 letter requesting immunity because she said she had dropped the lawsuits against Joe Biden. On March 22, 2024, she filed another letter requesting immunity and stating that she was withdrawing her cases involving Biden.

Ruling

The court dismissed the complaint without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(a), which requires a party’s filing to be signed. The opinion’s conclusion repeats the dismissal language but contains a grammatical duplication; the operative disposition is clear: the complaint was dismissed without prejudice.

The court also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal would not be taken in good faith. As a result, it denied Nobile permission to appeal without paying the required filing fees. The clerk was directed to enter judgment.
