Plaintiff, a resident of Washington, D.C., sues the Supreme Court ultimately for "any and

all of my previous income totaling over SOO million or more." CompI. at 2. Besides the fact that

the complaint is nothing more than a list of requests, the relief sought is beyond the scope of the

Supreme Court's authority. A separate Order of dismissal accompanies this Memorandum

Opinion.
