| Filing 39 Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying without prejudice #34 Emergency Motion to Add Defendants; denying #35 Emergency Motion for charges of fraud; denying #36 Emergency Motion for Judgment of the Motions Filed pursuant to Local Rules 40.4 within (1) Days of Filing Date; as moot, as these motions have been resolved in this order and the Courts previous order. [ECF Nos. 18, 20]. On January 31, 2024, the Commonwealth filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction [Dkt. No. 32]. Plaintiff is advised that Local Rule 7.1(B)(2) requires a party to file its opposition to a motion within 14 days after service of the motion. To the extent plaintiff seeks to assert claims against the United States for alleged violations of various section of Title 18 of the United States Code, such criminal statutes do not provide a private right of action. See Cent. Bank of Denver v. First Interstate Bank of Denver, 511 U.S. 164, 190 (1994) (refusing to infer a private right of action from a bare criminal statute). To the extent plaintiff seeks to add new defendants and remove other defendants from this action, she failed to file an amended complaint with her motion and has not complied with this court's local rule for addition of new parties. See Martins v. 3PD, Inc., No. 11-11313-DPW, 2013 WL 1320454, at *4 (D. Mass. Mar. 28, 2013) (failure to comply with local rules may be an independent ground to deny motion to amend). Local Rule 15.1(b) states: "A party moving to amend a pleading to add a new party shall serve, in the manner contemplated by Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b), the motion to amend upon the proposed new party at least 14 days in advance of filing the motion, together with a separate document stating the date on which the motion will be filed. A motion to amend a pleading to add a new party shall be accompanied by a certificate stating that it has been served in advance on the new party as required by this rule." (PSSA, 4) |

| Filing 26 Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying #22 emergency motion for fees. The pro se plaintiff seeks $518 for various costs she has incurred, including the costs related to service of process. With the motion, plaintiff submits a statement of facts and affidavit in support. Under the "American rule," litigants generally pay their own attorneys' fees and costs, absent a specific legislative or contractual authorization for same. See e.g. Alyeska Pipeline Co. v. Wilderness Soc'y, 421 U.S. 240, 247 (1975). At this early stage of the proceedings, there is no basis to award costs to plaintiff. See e.g. Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d)(1) (creating a presumption that costs other than attorneys' fees should be awarded to the prevailing party). (PSSA, 4) |
| Filing 25 Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying as moot #9 Motion to receive summons. The Court's records indicate that summons were issued on January 11, 2024.

If a defendant is not served within 90 days after the complaint is filed, the court--on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff--must dismiss the action without prejudice against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time.

| Filing 20 Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying #2 Motion for reallocation of court filing fee; denying #8 Motion seeking fees from the defendant; denying #16 Emergency Motion for Fees. (PSSA, 4) |
| Filing 19 Judge Allison D. Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying #12 Motion to Seal Case. Plaintiff seeks to have this Court impound the docket, complaint, exhibits, summons and pleadings. There is a long-standing common law presumption of public access to judicial records. See In re Gitto Global Corp., 422 F.3d 1, 6 (1st Cir. 2005). Although "it is within a court's discretion to curtail the common law presumption of public access, '[o]nly the most compelling reasons can justify non-disclosure of judicial records.' " Id. (quoting FTC v. Standard Fin. Mgmt. Corp., 830 F.2d 404, 410 (1st Cir. 1987)). There is no compelling reason that would justify prohibiting the public from knowing that plaintiff is prosecuting this action. The docket sheet of this action (but not necessarily each document filed) shall be part of the public record of this Court. To the extent plaintiff seeks to file financial statements or other documents with sensitive information, she can redact such information before filing. (PSSA, 4) |

Burroughs: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered denying without prejudice #15 Emergency Motion to Add Defendant ; denying without prejudice #17 Emergency Motion for court to allow removal of Defendant Williams, Mimno and Ratheon and replace with another. Through these 2 motions, plaintiff seeks to add new defendants and remove other defendants from this action. However, plaintiff has not submitted an amended complaint with her motions to amend. Additionally, she has not complied with this court's local rule for addition of new parties. See Martins v. 3PD, Inc., No. 11-11313-DPW, 2013 WL 1320454, at *4 (D. Mass. Mar. 28, 2013) (failure to comply with local rules may be an independent ground to deny motion to amend). Local Rule 15.1(b) states: "A party moving to amend a pleading to add a new party shall serve, in the manner contemplated by Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b), the motion to amend upon the proposed new party at least 14 days in advance of filing the motion, together with a separate document stating the date on which the motion will be filed. A motion to amend a pleading to add a new party shall be accompanied by a certificate stating that it has been served in advance on the new party as required by this rule." (PSSA, 4) |
