CONNECTICUT COALITION AGAINST MILLSTONE, Plaintiff -vs- DOMINION NUCLEAR CONNECTICUT, et. al., Defendants

RULING ON DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO STRIKE COMPLAINT AND PENDING MOTIONS

PETER DORSEY, Senior District Judge

Defendant Northeast Nuclear Energy Company moves to strike the complaint because attorney Nancy Burton, who signed the complaint, is the subject of contempt orders in the United States District Court. On April 5, 2004, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause as to why the complaint should not be stricken [Doc. No. 18]. Familiarity with the Order is presumed.

In her response to the Order to Show Cause, Attorney Burton raises issues more properly raised in other fora, and therefore not properly to be considered by this Court. In the absence of payment of the sanctions ordered by Judge Nevas, pursuant to Local Rule 16(g)(2) Attorney Burton is foreclosed from filing any pleadings in this Court. D. CONN. L. CIV. R. 16(g)(2) ("[t]he Clerk shall not accept for filing any paper from an attorney or pro se litigant against whom a final order of monetary sanctions has been imposed until the sanctions have been paid in full").

Accordingly, Defendant's Motion to Strike the Complaint [Doc. No. 12] is granted. Defendant Dominion Nuclear Connecticut Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss [Doc. No. 6], Defendant Northeast Nuclear Energy Company's Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Hearing [Doc. Nos. 10 and 17], Plaintiff's Motion to Withdraw the Complaint as to Defendant Mike Leavitt [Doc. No. 22], and Plaintiffs Motion for Extension of Time [Doc. No. 23] are denied as moot. The clerk shall close the file.

SO ORDERED.
