UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ____________________________________ ) ORLY TAITZ, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) ) Civil Action No. 11-402 (RCL) MICHAEL ASTRUE, ) COMMISSIONER OF THE SOCIAL ) SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, ) ) Defendant. ) ____________________________________)
ORDER Before the Court are several pending motions, all of which will be denied for the reasons set forth below. Plaintiffs Motion [12] to Compel Preparation of a Vaughn Index requests an order requiring defendant to provide an itemized inventory of every agency record responsive to plaintiffs FOIA request that defendant asserts is exempt from disclosure. As discussed in the Courts Memorandum Opinion issued this date, the Social Security Administration (SSA) withheld only one responsive document as exempt from disclosure. As there is no need for a Vaughn Index in this case, plaintiffs Motion [12] to Compel is DENIED. Plaintiffs Motion [18] to Strike Defendants Answer asserts that defendant filed his answer to her amended complaint twenty days late. She thus asks the Court to strike the answer and enter a default judgment in her favor. Plaintiffs Motion [20] for Default Judgment, like her Motion to Strike, also seeks a default judgment on the basis of defendants late filing. To serve the United States, a plaintiff must serve a copy of the summons and complaint on the United States attorney for the district where the action is brought. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i)(1)(A)(i). Under Case 1:11-cv-00402-RCL Document 35 Filed 08/30/11 Page 1 of 3 Case 3:12-cv-00280-HTW-LRA Document 30-1 Filed 05/21/12 Page 2 of 4 F r i e n d s

the FOIA statute, a defendant shall serve an answer or otherwise plead to any complaint . . . within thirty days of service upon the defendant of the pleading in which such complaint is made. 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(C). Plaintiff served her first amended complaint and summons on the U.S. Attorney on April 3, 2011 [8]. Thus, defendants answer was due within thirty days of April 3, 2011. Because defendant did not file his answer until May 23, 2011, defendant is in default. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide, however, that a default judgment may be entered against the United States, its officers, or its agencies only if the claimant establishes a claim or right to relief by evidence that satisfies the court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(d) (emphasis added). For the reasons set forth in the Courts Memorandum Opinion issued this date, the Court finds that plaintiff has failed to establish a claim or right to relief, and thus is not entitled a default judgment in this case. Furthermore, [d]efault judgments are not favored by modern courts, particularly where such judgments are unwarranted by the facts. Jackson v. Beech, 636 F.2d 831, 834 (D.C. Cir. 1980). This Circuit has explained that default judgments are normally reserved for cases in which the adversary process has been halted because of an essentially unresponsive party. Id. at 836 (quoting H.F. Livermore Corp. v. Aktiengesellschaft Gebruder Loepfe, 432 F.2d 689, 691 (D.C. Cir. 1970)) (internal quotation marks omitted). Cognizant of the strong policies favoring the resolution of genuine disputes on their merits, id. at 834, the Court notes that this is not a case where defendant has been an essentially unresponsive party. Id. at 836. Rather, defendant answered plaintiffs amended complaint before plaintiff moved for an entry of default. Accordingly, the Court will neither strike defendants answer nor enter a default judgment against defendant. Plaintiffs Motion [18] to Strike and Motion [20] for Default Judgment are therefore DENIED.

Plaintiffs Motion [19] for Clarification requests clarification of this Courts Order [13] requiring plaintiff to refile her complaint and amended complaint with properly redacted social security numbers. Plaintiff has already filed her redacted complaint [16] and amended complaint [17], and thus her Motion [19] for Clarification is DENIED as moot. Finally, plaintiffs Motion [22] to Compel asks the Court to compel compliance with a Rule 45 subpoena issued by plaintiff to the Director of Health for the State of Hawaii. The subpoena seeks access to the original long-form birth certificate issued to the President in 1961. The requested birth certificate has nothing to do with this case, which relates to plaintiffs FOIA request for various documents in the possession of the SSA. Inspection of the birth certificate would resolve none of the issues before this Court. Accordingly, plaintiffs Motion [22] to Compel is DENIED. SO ORDERED. Signed by Royce C. Lamberth, Chief Judge, on August 30, 2011.

2 before Chief Judge Susan Oki Mollway on August 30, 2011, the court was informed that the District of Columbia action had been dismissed. See Docket No. 12. Plaintiff informed the court that she would be filing a motion for reconsideration of the District of Columbia courts decision. Id. The court continued the hearing on the Motion and ordered that Plaintiff file her reply by September 20, 2011, which she did. See id.; Docket No. 20.

The hearing set for November 21, 2011 is VACATED. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia issued a Memorandum and Order denying Plaintiffs motion for reconsideration. Taitz v. Astrue, Civil Action No. 11-402 (RCL), 2011 WL 3805741 (D.D.C. Oct. 17, 2011). Because the District of Columbia action has been dismissed, Plaintiffs Motion is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED.

The Court, having considered all pleadings filed herein, the memoranda both in support of and in opposition to the motion, the arguments of counsel and Plaintiff Pro Se, the applicable law, and the record and files in this case, hereby finds as follows: I. Relief is not available to Plaintiff pursuant to a Writ of Mandamus. 2. Plaintiff wants this Court to consider her Petition as an agency appeal pursuant to chapter 91, HRS; her pleadings do not constitute an agency appeal, nor would an agency appeal be proper under the circumstances presented. 3. Going beyond Plaintiffs requests to treat this matter as an agency appeal, if the Court treats the Petition as a Complaint, there is still no basis upon which to grant Plaintiff the relief she seeks. THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ADJUDGED, ORDERED, AND DECREED that: 1. Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Petition for a Writ of Mandamus Request for Inspection of Records under United (sic) Information Practices Act Statute 92F, State of Hawaii filed August 10, 2011 is granted. 2.

NO. SCPW-12-0000014 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF HAWAI#I
DR. ORLY TAITZ, Petitioner, vs. THE HONORABLE RHONDA A. NISHIMURA, JUDGE OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE FIRST CIRCUIT, STATE OF HAWAI#I, Respondent.
ORIGINAL PROCEEDING ORDER (By: Recktenwald, C.J., Nakayama, Acoba, Duffy, and McKenna, JJ.) Upon consideration of petitioner Dr. Orly Taitz's petition for a writ of mandamus, it appears that petitioner fails to demonstrate an entitlement to mandamus relief. See Kema v. Gaddis, 91 Hawai#i 200, 204, 982 P.2d 334, 338 (1999) (A writ of mandamus is an extraordinary remedy that will not issue unless the petitioner demonstrates a clear and indisputable right to relief and a lack of alternative means to redress adequately the alleged wrong or obtain the requested action. Such writs are not intended to supersede the legal discretionary authority of the lower courts, nor are they intended to serve as legal remedies in lieu of normal appellate procedures. ).
