MEMORANDUM & ORDER On March 23, 2022, Plaintiff Kevin James Walker, proceeding pro se, filed this action against Justice Joseph C. Pastoressa, Daniel McCarthy, Michael Broxmeyer and the Plymouth Village Board of Managers/Fairfield Properties (the “Defendants”). See ECF No. 1. Pursuant to the Court’s inherent authority to dismiss claims that are frivolous or inadequately pled, the Court dismisses the complaint. Plaintiff’s claims against Justice Pastoressa are dismissed with prejudice, as are his claims to enforce certain federal criminal statutes and any claims to set aside the foreclosure judgment in Suffolk County Supreme Court related to Plaintiff’s apartment. As set forth in more detail below, Plaintiff may file an amended complaint on or before September 28, 2022, asserting his remaining claims in either this Court or the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York, depending on the nature of those restated claims. BACKGROUND Plaintiff’s complaint contains the following statement of his claims: January 2018 I filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Eastern District Federal Court. Plymouth Village Board Managers/Fairfield Property was under the Chapter 7 debt was discharged 4-18-2018 $81,000. They have been since 2019 sending threatening letters to foreclose. There is a sale date of 4-15-2022 Islip town Hall. ECF No. 1 at 4. Plaintiff does not describe the relief he seeks. Id. He does, however, identify the following statutes as providing the basis for the Court’s purported jurisdiction: 18 U.S.C. §§241, 242, 876, 1341, 1343, and 11 U.S.C. §524. Id. at 3. Plaintiff’s complaint attaches various other documents, including documents relating to a lawsuit commenced against him in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Suffolk County, and a bankruptcy proceeding that Plaintiff commenced in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York. ECF No. 1 at 6-21; see also Bd. of Mgrs. of Plymouth Vill. Condo., No. 613521/2017 (Sup. Ct. Suffolk Cnty. filed July 19, 2017); In re Walker, No. 18-70377 (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. filed Jan. 17, 2018). Plaintiff’s complaint does not explain why he included filings from these separate proceedings. However, the Court takes judicial notice, based on its review of the publicly-available dockets for those proceedings, that the Board of Managers of Plymouth Village Condominium (the “Board of Managers”) commenced a lawsuit against Plaintiff on July 19, 2017, seeking a judgment of foreclosure and sale related to the apartment that Plaintiff has identified as his current address due to Plaintiff’s alleged non-payment of a debt of more than $78,000.1 See Plymouth Vill. Condo., No. 613521/2017, NYSCEF No. 1
