The following excerpt is from Smith v. Mun. Magistrate Judge, No. 2:11-cv-03111 KJM KJN PS (E.D. Cal. 2012):
1. Although the caption of plaintiff's complaint does not name an individual as defendant, the body of the complaint appears to seek relief relative to the actions of a judge named "Rossmary Grassland." It appears that plaintiff filed a similar lawsuit against "Rosemary Grassland" in 2006, and that lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice on May 8, 2007, as a result of plaintiff's failure to prosecute that case. (See Smith v. Crossland, 2:06-cv-01915 LKK GGH PS (E.D. Cal.).)
