JOHNSON, Plaintiff, Pro Se 112 Court Street, Apt. 2 Watertown, NY 13601 DAVID N. HURD United States District Judge ORDER ON REPORT & RECOMMENDATION On May 17 and May 19, 2022, pro se plaintiff Robert W. Johnson (“plaintiff”) filed these twenty-one civil rights actions alleging he was “denied employment” and “discriminated against” by the various hotel defendants and that defendant Indeed “falsified ads and employment.” Along with each complaint, plaintiff sought to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP Application”). On June 21, 2022, U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter granted plaintiff’s IFP Applications for the purposes of filing only and advised by Report & Recommendation (“R&R”) that the complaint in each civil action be dismissed without leave to amend as frivolous. As Judge Baxter explained, plaintiff’s pleading in each case failed to plausibly allege the basic elements of any viable claims against any of the named defendants. And as Judge Baxter noted, plaintiff’s latest set of filings were “not the first barrage of frivolous complaints filed by the plaintiff.” To the contrary, at the time these twenty-one civil actions were filed in this judicial district, plaintiff was already subject to bar orders and filing -6- Case 5:22-cv-00524-DNH-ATB Document 9 Filed 07/11/22 Page 7 of 7 injunctions in the Southern District of New York, the District of Connecticut, the Southern District of Ohio, and had previously been warned by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that his continued filing of frivolous appeals might also result in a filing injunction in that forum. In addition, as a result of plaintiff’s filing of forty-five new civil rights actions in a ten-day period, as of May 19, 2022, plaintiff had been “permanently enjoined from filing any pleadings or documents as a pro se plaintiff in this district without prior permission. Plaintiff has filed objections in each action. Upon de novo review, the R&R will be accepted and adopted in all respects. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C). Therefore, it is ORDERED that 1. The Report & Recommendation is ACCEPTED in each of the twenty-one above-captioned civil actions; 2. The twenty-one above-captioned civil actions are DISMISSED WITHOUT LEAVE TO AMEND; and 3. Plaintiff’s motions for appointment of counsel are DENIED AS MOOT. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: July 11, 2022 Utica, New York. -7-
