No. 25-cv-3680 (KMM/JFD)
ORDER
On September 19, 2025, the Court dismissed this case without prejudice pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). (Dkt. 5.) In the dismissal Order, the Court determined that the
District of Minnesota was not the correct venue. (Id. at 2.) The Court also declined to
transfer the case to another venue because (1) Plaintiff failed to plead her civil-RICO
claims with particularity, (2) the action was similar to another case that the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Texas had recently dismissed as frivolous and
duplicative of another case Plaintiff had previously filed, and (3) transferring the case
would allow Plaintiff to circumvent filing restrictions imposed upon her by the Northern
District of Texas and elsewhere. (Id. at 2–3.)

2
On March 23, 2026, Plaintiff filed an “Emergency Motion to Strike and Vacate All
Vexatious-Litigant Orders and Labels Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADAAA,
and Section 504—Record-Cleaning Only.” (Dkt. 7.) In it, she asks this Court to vacate
filing restrictions imposed “in this and all related actions.” (Id. at 1.) The Court has not
entered a filing restriction in this case, and it cannot vacate an order imposing filing
restrictions that was entered by another federal district court or a state court. Accordingly,
Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED.
Plaintiff also filed a motion asking to the Court to keep certain documents she has
filed under seal. (Dkt. 10.) This motion is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is instructed to
keep Exhibits 3 (Dkt. 9), 4 (Dkt. 9-1), and 7 (Dkt. 9-2) under seal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
