Pleadings Under Rule 58 [DE 37]

This is an action brought by Brandon Joe Williams (“Plaintiff’)—a “natural person” who,
despite being born in Indiana, identifies as a “foreign national of the Nation of the Amnesty Coalition”
and not a citizen of any state or country, and therefore not subject to this Court’s or any court’s
jurisdiction—on behalf of “BRANDON JOE WILLIAMS ®”—a “public corporation” in Plaintiff's
name that was purportedly created at the time of Plaintiffs birth “as a buffer or flow-through for all
commercial transactions” by Plaintiff. (ECF No. 1-1.)

In May of 2020, the United States Small Business Administration (“Defendant”) gave Plaintiff
an Economic Injury Disaster Loan. On June 20, 2024, Plaintiff sent Defendant a letter notifying
Defendant that the loan was void and “ordering” Defendant to discharge the loan, according to
incoherent interpretations of the Uniform Commercial Code. Unsurprisingly, Defendant did not heed
Plaintiff's orders. Consequently, on September 20, 2024, Plaintiff filed a Complaint against Defendant
in state court, asserting various contract and tort claims seeking recission of the loan and $2 million in
damages. (Compl., ECF No. 1-1.) On November 5, 2024, Defendant removed the action to this Court
pursuant to the federal officer removal statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(1). (ECF No. 1.)

On December 30, 2024, the Court denied Plaintiff's Motion to Remand and granted Defendant’s
Motion to Dismiss, finding that Defendant’s removal was proper because the action was filed against a
United States agency, and that dismissal was warranted for failure to state a claim, noting that the
Complaint relied on unintelligible arguments commonly brought by sovereign citizens, which courts
have uniformly rejected. (ECF No. 23.) The Court thereby dismissed Plaintiffs claims with prejudice.

Presently before the Court is Plaintiffs “Request for Judgment on the Pleadings” under Rule 58.
Plaintiff seeks a final judgment so that he may file an appeal. No such order is necessary, however, as
the Court has already dismissed Plaintiff's Complaint with prejudice, and that order “is final and
