I. RELIEF REQUESTED
COME NOW the Defendants, Pro-Se, JOAQUIN SAMPSON and MARTHA LILLIE, and
move the Court pursuant to CR l2(b)(6) and CR 8(a) for an Order dismissing Plaintiffs' Complaint
with prejudice as it applies to said Defendants on the grounds that plaintiffs have failed to state a
claim upon which relief can be granted.
II. AUTHORITY and ARGUMENT
CR 12(bX6) provides that a defendant may request dismissal of a claim by motion for
plaintiff's failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Such a dismissal is appropriate
whenever it appears beyond a doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts, consistent with the
Complaint, that would entitle the plaintiff to relief. Gorman v. Garlock, Inc., LZl Wn. App. 530,
534,89P.3d302 QAjq.
A plaintiff must plead factual allegations with specificity; vague and conclusory allegations
of fact fail to state a claim for relief. Colburn v. Upper Darby Township,838 F.Zd 663, 666 (3'd
Cir. 1988). While a Complaint attacked by a CR 12(bX6) motion does not need detailed factual
allegations, a plaintiff's obligation to provide the grounds of his entitlement to relief requires more
than labels and conclusions. A formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do.
BelI Atlantic Corp. v. Twomby, I27 S. Ct. 1955, 1968-1969, 167 L.8d.2d.929 (2007) (internai
citations omitted). Factual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative
level. Id. In Washington, a Complaint failing to contain direct allegations sufficient to give notice
to the Court and opponent of the nature of a plaintiff's ciaim is proper for dismissal. Berg v.
Gorton,88 Wn.2d 757,56'l P.2d 187 (1977).
CR 8(a) requires that a Complaint for relief "contain (1) a short and plain statement of the
claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief and (2) a demand for judgment for the relief to

which he deems himself entitled." The Complaint must "apprise the defendant of the nature of the
plaintiff's claims and legal grounds upon which the claims rest." Molloy v. Bellevue, 71 Wn. App.
382,85g P.zd 613 (1993), review denied, 123 Wn.2d 1024,875 P.2d 635 (1994). "A pleading is
insufficient when it does not give the opposing parly fair notice of what the claim is and the ground
upon which it rests." Dewey v. Tacoma School Dist. No. 10, 95 Wn. App. 18, 23, 974 P.2d 847
(1999), quoting Lewis v. Bell,45 Wn. App. 192, 197,724P.2d 425 (1986).
Plaintiffs' Complaint contains a series of disjointed allegations relating to several events and
involving several persons and entities. It cannot be gleaned from Plaintiffs' Complaint what, if
anything, is alleged as a claim against Joaquin Sampson and Martha Lillie. The Complaint does not
allege any facts that can possibly rise to the levei of establishing a cognizable action upon which
relief can be based.
Furthermore, there is no prayer for relief in the Complaint. As such, it is impossible for the
Defendants to defend themselves, and it is impossible for the Court to fashion a remedy.
It should be noted that on March 2I, 2Ol2 plaintiffs filed a pleading entitled "Motion
Amended Complaint 15 USC $1641 12 U.S.C. 2601 et se4 CFR $3500 Reguiation Z RCW 19.86
29 USC $ 216." Several defendants, including Randy Leonard, Portland Water, the City of Portland
Public Safety, Portland Police Bureau, Sam Adams, Steve S. Staul, and Ronald Frashour III, are no
longer included in the case caption. Notwithstanding, the allegations made by plaintiffs remain
unclear, leaving Defendants unsure whether plaintiffs intend to continue to pursue claims against
the Defendants in Cowlitz County Superior Court. The Defendants have previously been sued by
plaintiff, Roberta Kelly, and associates in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon
and Multnomah County Superior Court in a similar disjointed fashion. In each matter, plaintiffs'
claims were dismissed, prompting Chief Judge Ann Aiken of the United States District Court for
the District of Oregon to enter a Pre-filing Order stating that all filings from Ms. Keliy "shall be

reviewed by this Court and ordered filed only if such filings are deemed not frivolous or repetitive.
Accordingly, the Defendants feel it is necessary to bring this Motion before the Court seeking an
Order of Dismissal notwithstanding the most recent filings.
If the Court determines that the plaintiffs' pleading referenced above serves as a voluntary
dismissal of those Defendants no longer identified in the case caption, the Defendants request that
the Court enter an Order similar to that of Chief Judge Ann Aiken. The Defendants need some
protection from the haphazard filings of the plaintiffs.
III. CONCLUSION
Based upon the foregoing, the Defendants, Joaquin Sampson and Martha Lillie, respectfully
request that the Court enter an Order Dismissing plaintiffs' Complaint, as it applies to said
Defendants, for piaintiffs' failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. In the
alternative, the Defendants request an Order preventing future filings naming Joaquin Sampson and
Martha Lillie, without approval of the Court.

COME NOW the Defendants, JOAQUIN SAMPSON and MARTHA LILLIE, Defendants
Pro-Se, and move the Court pursuant to CR 26(c) for a Protective Order precluding plaintiffs from
delivering to Defendants discovery requests in any form or manner without further Order of the
Court.
I. PROCEDURALBACKGROUND
On February 9, 2O12, plaintiffs filed a Complaint in the above-entitled matter. To date,
Defendants, JOAQUIN SAMPSON and MARTHA LILLIE, have not been served with said
Complaint as required by law nor have plaintiffs filed a proof of service. Notwithstanding, on or
about February 2I,2012, Defendants received multiple discovery requests from plaintiffs.
On March 2, 2012, this Court issued a Protective Order at the request of co-defendant,
Maxine Bernstein, and on March 23,2012, issued a Protective Order at the request of co-defendant,
Cowlitz PUD, to prevent a similar abuse of discovery. The Defendants named herein also need
protection from plaintiffs' antics.
II. BASIS FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
Pursuant to CR 26(c), a Protective Order is needed to prevent plaintiffs from further abuse
ofprocess and frivolous discovery requests.
