On March 9,2012, .at 12:38 p.m., defendatZacharyBarker Coughlin, a attorey and
self-represented litigat in the instant traffc citation case, began fax-fling a 218-page
document to the Reno Municipal Court purporting to seek various and sundry types of relief
from this court on a "Boulevad Stop" trafc citation matter. He labeled his document "Motion
to Ret Cell Phones; Motion to Set Aside Summary Contempt Order; and Notice of Appeal
of Suary Contempt Order." Said document was fled by the Clerk of the Court, on Monday
March 12,2012, afer causing much disruption to the court's operations.
The court herein issues this Order sua sponte to prevent the plaintiff, Reno City
Attorey,fom devoting ay additional time.or resources to this document, and to relieve the
plaintiff from any burden of attempting to respond to said document. Likewise, the court staff
is relieved of any obligation to further deal with this aberrat document.
The court fnds that the defendant has failed to follow proper legal procedure in
preparing and filing his motions ad purorted Notice of Appeal. The court also fnds that Mr.
Coughlin has blatantly abused the court's fax-fling process offered for the convenience of
parties appearing in this court. As with his previous, mostly incoherent docuent, this
document fled by Mr. Coughlin appears to be a recitation of family grievances, lyrics to rock

songs, disjointed legal rablings, citations ad argument in another case with another judge in
a different depatment of Reno Municipal Court, and, is, thus, even more irrelevant to the
instant case than the 224-page document previously fled by Mr. Coughlin.

Coughlin in the above-described document is denied.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Zachary Barker Coughlin shall refrain from, and is

chambers, and this court will mae a pre-fling determination if they can be filed by the clerk.
