OPINION, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Before the Court is plaintiff’s motion to reopen this action. The Court will decline to do
so.
The Court dismissed this civil action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction on February 4,
2026. Plaintiff moved to reconsider the Court’s decision on March 3, 2026, and the Court denied
the motion on March 4, 2026, finding that plaintiff’s motion failed to point to any manifest errors
of law or fact, or any newly discovered evidence. In plaintiff’s newest motion to reopen, plaintiff
merely states that she would like to reassert her action against her sister Jacqueline Jackson.
However, she indicates no basis for this Court’s jurisdiction over her case. Plaintiff is therefore
not entitled to reconsideration of the dismissal of this action, and the Court declines to reopen this
matter.
The Court will instruct the Clerk not to accept any additional filings from plaintiff unless
they relate to an appeal in this matter.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to reopen the present action [Doc. #9]
is DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that an appeal of this action would not be taken in good
faith.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall not accept any additional filings from
plaintiff unless they relate to an appeal.
Dated this 6th day of April, 2026.
