Case Information
*1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA CHARLOTTE DIVISION 3:20-mc-00179-RJC-DCK ) IN RE: GISELLE RAMSEUR )
MARTIN, )
Plaintiff, ) ) ORDER ) ___________________________________ )
THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte . After review by the Court, Plaintiff’s case fails to adequately request any relief which this Court may grant and will be DISMISSED .
Pro se Plaintiff filed this miscellaneous action on November 2, 2020. (Doc. No. 1). The Plaintiff’s initial filing instituting the action, is titled “Affidavit of Exemption from Withholding.” ( Id. ). Although unclear, it appears the crux of Plaintiff’s Affidavit alleges that she is a “Private Business Trust” to which the Internal Revenue Code does not apply. Plaintiff’s filing also attaches various other difficult to discern documents and a memorandum. However, the filing is entirely unclear as to what, if any, relief Plaintiff seeks from this Court or the purpose of initiating the action. ( Id. ). On November 10, 2021, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause as to why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff’s pro se response is similarly unclear as to what, if any, relief Plaintiff requests from this Court or the purpose of initiating the case. (Doc. No. 3).
