MEMORANDUM AND ORDER. Chief Judge Droege's Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 11), is granted in part and this case is dismissed. Fees and costs are not awarded; Doc. 21 is denied.

ORDER. This case was dismissed with prejudice on 3/1/2024 (Doc. 28). Escalante objected (Doc. 29). This order construes his objection as a motion to amend judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). Escalante bases his objection on Fed. R. Civ. P. 17(c), Doc. 29 at 1, Kan. R. Rel. Dist. Ct. 166, id. at 2, 18 U.S.C. � 2265(d)(1), Doc. 29-5 at 1, and an allegation of fraud in his state court cases, see Doc. 29-7 at 1. Each request either misconstrues the rule, misunderstands its application, or lacks evidentiary support. None of his arguments or extensive exhibits remotely suggest that the Memorandum and Order dismissing his case, Doc. 27, should be amended or reconsidered. Escalante's motion, Doc. 29, is therefore denied. Signed by District Judge Toby Crouse on 3/4/2024. (mam)

22		22 order Order on Motion to Stay Case Mon 02/12 1:59 PM ORDER STAYING CASE, granting17 Defendant's Motion to Stay Case. Defendant has asserted immunity defenses in his Motion to Dismiss. The Supreme Court has made it clear that until the threshold question of immunity is resolved, discovery should not be allowed. Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818 (1982). The Court finds a stay of discovery to be appropriate, given the immunity issues raised in the pending Motion to Dismiss and in light of the dismissal of Plaintiff's other related cases. Therefore, all discovery, pretrial proceedings, and Rule 26 requirements are hereby stayed until the Court rules on11 Defendant's Motion to Dismiss. This order does not stay the briefing on the pending11 Motion to Dismiss,16 Plaintiff's Motion to Strike Defendant's Answer, or21 Defendant's Motion for Sanctions.

9		9 order Order on Motion to Appoint Counsel Fri 12/29 12:19 PM ORDER denying3 Plaintiff's Motion to Appoint Counsel. This case is yet another in a long string of cases Plaintiff has filed in this court. The Court denies Plaintiff's Motion for the same reasons set out in its recent Order 46 in Escalante v. Burmaster, Case No. 23-cv-2471, denying appointment of counsel in that case. The bases for the denial are even stronger now than they were in the referenced Burmaster case. Most notably, Plaintiff's continued prolific filings in numerous cases before this court document his ability to navigate the federal court system and represent himself. Additionally, as in the referenced Burmaster case, in this case Plaintiff's Amended Complaint again asserts claims against a Kansas State Court judge based upon the same two Johnson County, Kansas domestic cases (Case Nos. 18 -cv-03813 and 22-3391 . Thus, the merits of this case appear questionable in light of judicial immunity and the Younger abstention doctrine, just as they do in the referenced Burmaster case.
