Judge Spatt

HAMMER v.TRENDLE — Jeffrey Hammer (“Hammer” or the “plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, filed this action against Anthony L. Trendl (“Trendl” or the “defendant”) alleging that Trendl posted on an Internet website Amazon.com several unfavorable reviews of books written by the plaintiff in violation of federal copyright and state defamation laws. Presently before the Court are (1) Hammer’s objections to the Report and Recommendation dated October 10, 2002 issued by United States Magistrate Judge Michael L. Orenstein; (2) the defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction and failure to state a claim; (3) Hammer’s motion for reconsideration of the Court’s January 3, 2003 Order denying his motion for a default judgment; (4) Hammer’s motion to have the defendant and David Zapolsky, an attorney at Amazon. com, arrested; (5) Hammer’s motion to compel the defendant’s counsel to disclose who is paying her legal fees; and (6) Hammer’s motion for an order directing the defendant to pay for various postage. The Court notes that Hammer has filed more than 50 motions in this case in the form of formal motions and letter motions mostly repeating the same requests.
