Nú eru vondar fréttir frá bandaríkjunum því Haukur þyngdist um 0,3 kg í síðustu viku. Ekki er annað að sjá en því sé hægt að kenna ís og sælgætis áti. Ekki gengur það nú.
Annars má líka benda á að í nýjustu útgáfu vefritsins bewilderingstories.com birtist athyglisverð grein eftir frænda okkar alræmdann. Kíkið endilega á það.
Ég er staddur í skólanum og er að reyna að hlusta á kr leikinn í útvarpinu, en útsendingin dettur út annað slagið svo ég veit ekki hvort ég nenni að hlusta mikið lengur. Annars var þulurinn hann Heimir eitthvað að tala um markvörð Grindavíkur sem er dálítið undarlegt þegar haft er í huga að í dag er KR að spila við Fram.
Hér er annars lítið að frétta nema þá að Detroit varð NBA meistari í ár og var mjög gaman að fylgjast með því.

Jæja, enn er ég í skólanum. Nú gerir maður ekki annað en að lesa dóma, þannig að stumpurinn verður héðaníaf litaður dálítið af því. Sá að Ísland er fasistaland og má ekki forsætisráðherra einusinni segja það sem allir vita að er alveg satt. Svona myndi ekki duga hér í Bandaríkjunum og get ég sagt það með vissu þó ekki hafi ég verið nema tvær vikur í skóla. Amma segir, eins og satt er, að ekki er öll vitleysan eins og fylgir hér bútur úr lagasafni einu bandarísku. Þessi lög voru nýlega yfirfarin og var þetta látið svo standa. Er hér um að ræða lög í New Hampshire er eiga við brottnám á dádýrum. Þetta er fengið úr westlaw ofcourse.

Í gær tók ég mér að vísu frí frá lestrinum og horfði á NBA boltann. Detroit er nefninglega þar í úrslitum og stendur sig bara betur en bjartsýnustu menn þorðu að vona. Þessvegna fór ég ekki að sofa fyrr en of seint og er þessvegna nokkuð þreyttur í dag.

Þá er ég byrjaður í skólanum og er þetta sannlega fyrsta tækifærið sem ég hef haft til að skrifa síðan þá. Reyndar er ég enn í skólanum enda loksins búinn að fá þráðlausa netið hérna til að virka. Rakst á skemmtilegt mál í dag sem ég set hérna fyrir neða svo áhugasamir geti lesið. Þetta er alvöru case sem ég fékk á þartilgerðum gagnagrunni. Jú það eru margir kostir við að vera svona lawyer og einn er sá að ég fæ aðgang að allskonar upplýsingum. Annars hef ég mikið verið að lesa og skrifa líka því ekki nenni ég að lesa allt draslið aftur fyrir próf. Þá er best að gera skilgreinar og góðar nótur enda hef e´g verið að reyna að gera það. Ég veit ekki hvort mikið mun birtast hér í framtíðinni en það fer eftir hvað ég kemst í og hverju ég nenni.
United States District Court, W. D. Pennsylvania.
UNITED STATES ex rel. Gerald MAYO
v.
SATAN AND HIS STAFF.
Misc. No. 5357.
Dec. 3, 1971.
Civil rights action against Satan and his servants who allegedly placed deliberate obstacles in plaintiff's path and caused his downfall, wherein plaintiff prayed for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The District Court, Weber, J., held that plaintiff would not be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis who in view of questions of personal jurisdiction over defendant, propriety of class action, and plaintiff's failure to include instructions for directions as to service of process.
Prayer denied.
WEBER, District Judge.
Plaintiff, alleging jurisdiction under 18 U.S.C. § 241, 28 U.S.C. § 1343, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 prays for leave to file a complaint for violation of his civil rights *283 in forma pauperis. He alleges that Satan has on numerous occasions caused plaintiff misery and unwarranted threats, against the will of plaintiff, that Satan has placed deliberate obstacles in his path and has caused plaintiff's downfall.
Plaintiff alleges that by reason of these acts Satan has deprived him of his constitutional rights.
We feel that the application to file and proceed in forma pauperis must be denied. Even if plaintiff's complaint reveals a prima facie recital of the infringement of the civil rights of a citizen of the United States, the Court has serious doubts that the complaint reveals a cause of action upon which relief can be granted by the court. We question whether plaintiff may obtain personal jurisdiction over the defendant in this judicial district. The complaint contains no allegation of residence in this district. While the official reports disclose no case where this defendant has appeared as defendant there is an unofficial account of a trial in New Hampshire where this defendant filed an action of mortgage foreclosure as plaintiff. The defendant in that action was represented by the preeminent advocate of that day, and raised the defense that the plaintiff was a foreign prince with no standing to sue in an American Court. This defense was overcome by overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Whether or not this would raise an estoppel in the present case we are unable to determine at this time.
If such action were to be allowed we would also face the question of whether it may be maintained as a class action. It appears to meet the requirements of Fed.R. of Civ.P. 23 that the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable, there are questions of law and fact common to the class, and the claims of the representative party is typical of the claims of the class. We cannot now determine if the representative party will fairly protect the interests of the class.
We note that the plaintiff has failed to include with his complaint the required form of instructions for the United States Marshal for directions as to service of process.
For the foregoing reasons we must exercise our discretion to refuse the prayer of plaintiff to proceed in forma pauperis.
It is ordered that the complaint be given a miscellaneous docket number and leave to proceed in forma pauperis be denied.
