ORDER re: Case Filing. Proceeding pro se , Ms. Julie Lawrence Greco has filed a "Suit at Common-Law with Common-Law Jury Demand." (ECF No. 1.) She also filed a document entitled "Notice to Court Clerk," in which she insists that her suit is "not a civil action" and therefore should not be assigned a case number with the letters 'CV' imbedded therein." (ECF No. 2.) The Clerk of the Court initially docketed the case as a miscellaneous, or "MC," action. The Clerk also assigned the case to the undersigned Magistrate Judge, because Magistrate Judges are authorized by statute to preside over certain miscellaneous proceedings. See 28 U.S.C. § 636. Having reviewed the plaintiff's "Suit at Common Law," however, it is clearly a civil action and not a miscellaneous action. Miscellaneous actions "are ancillary and supplementary proceedings." In re Varholy , No. 3:23-mc-00004 (MEG), 2023 WL 4236044, at *1 (D. Conn. June 28, 2023) (citing Admin. Office of U.S. Courts, District Clerks Manual , § 4.03.a.1). These proceedings include such things as registrations of judgments obtained in other districts, motions to quash deposition subpoenas, applications to perpetuate testimony, and so forth. Id. ; see also Admin. Office of U.S. Courts, District Clerks Manual , § 4.03.a.1 (identifying fifteen matters for assignment of miscellaneous case numbers). "When a plaintiff seeks an award of damages or an injunction against another person, [her] action is a civil action, not a miscellaneous action. Lewis v. DOC's U.S. State of Connecticut, Inc. , No. 3:23-mv-00116 (VDO), 2024 WL 5088764, at *2 (D. Conn. Mar. 20, 2024). In this case, Ms. Greco contends that she was wronged by a local government official, and she seeks $1,400,000 in damages plus "any other damages or sanctions deemed appropriate by a jury upon the finding of other facts." (ECF No. 1, at 8.) She does not seek to register an out-of-district judgment, quash a subpoena, or accomplish any other things that are properly regarded as miscellaneous actions. Her case is therefore a civil action, however much she may wish to contend otherwise. Because the case is a civil action, the undersigned Magistrate Judge should not be the presiding judge unless the parties consent, see 28 U.S.C/ § 636, and it is clear that the plaintiff does not consent. (ECF No. 1, at 7.) Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to give this case a CV number and assign it to a District Judge. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 2/14/25.(Wood, R.) |
