Summary

The United States District Court for the District of South Carolina dismisses without prejudice and without issuance or service of process a pro se plaintiff's action brought on behalf of Sean Combs. The court adopts the magistrate judge's recommendation that the claims are frivolous but declines at this time to impose a pre-filing injunction, while warning that future sanctions may be considered.

Holdings

1. The action was clearly frivolous and was properly dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service of process.
2. A pro se litigant may not pursue the action in a representative capacity for another person; the complaint was therefore construed only as asserting claims by Plaintiff herself, not by M-EDIF or Sean P. Combs.
3. The court declined at that time to issue a pre-filing injunction, while warning Plaintiff that sanctions could be considered if the pattern of conduct continued.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the action should be dismissed without prejudice and without issuance and service of process as frivolous.
2. Whether the court should impose a pre-filing injunction based on Plaintiff's purported representative filing and pattern of frivolous litigation.

Disposition

dismissed
