OPINION AND ORDER Plaintiffs M.D. Richard Arjun Kaul (“Kaul”) and David Basch (“Basch”, and together with Kaul, “Plaintiffs”) bring this suit against Intercontinental Exchange, GEICO Insurance Company (“GEICO”), TD Bank, Allstate Insurance Company (“Allstate”), Federal State Medical Boards (“FSMB”), Arthur Hengerer, Christopher J. Christie, Daniel Stolz, Atlantic Health System (“AHS”), Robert Heary, Philip Murphy, Gurbir Grewal, Rivkin Radler Law Firm, Max Gersenoff, and unidentified John Doe and Jane Doe defendants (collectively, “Defendants”). Plaintiffs allege that Defendants engaged in a scheme in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) that resulted in the revocation of Kaul’s medical license. See generally ECF No. 1 (“Compl.”). For the following reasons, the Court dismisses the Complaint in its entirety with prejudice. BACKGROUND I. Filing History “In March 2014, the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners…revoked [Kaul's] medical license” for performing spine surgeries without “proper training and experience.” Kaul v. Christie, 372 F. Supp. 3d 206, 215, 221 (D.N.J. 2019) (describing disciplinary proceedings that addressed Kaul’s operations on eleven patients that “placed the public in clear and imminent danger” (alterations adopted)). In response, Kaul filed lawsuits around the country alleging that various lawyers, hospitals, insurance companies, and media figures conspired to make an example of him and cause public officials to bar him from practicing medicine in New Jersey. See Kaul v. Intercontinental Exch. (“Kaul 2021″), No. 21-cv-06992 (JPO), 2022 WL 4133427, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 12, 2022) (noting the “long saga of repetitive, frivolous lawsuits” brought by Kaul). Kaul filed four similar lawsuits in the Southern District of New York that were transferred to the District of New Jersey. See id. (citing Kaul v. Christie, 16-cv-01346 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 19, 2016); Kaul v. Christie, 18-cv-03131, 2018 WL 10038784 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 11, 2018); Kaul v. Schumer, 19-cv-03046 (S.D.N.Y. May 29, 2019); Kaul v. Murphy, 21-cv-05293 (S.D.N.Y. June 21, 2021). Kaul filed additional lawsuits across the country, many of which were transferred to the District of New Jersey. Id. (collecting cases). “Plaintiff Kaul has never received any relief in these cases,” as the District of New Jersey dismissed many of Kaul’s claims and Kaul voluntarily dismissed others. Id. at *2. On August 19, 2021, Kaul and Basch filed an action in this District alleging six conspiracies, including “a purported kidnapping” and “a Slaving-Nazi-COVID-Insurance Axis.” Id. at *2-3. On September 12, 2022, Judge Oetken dismissed that complaint with prejudice and barred Kaul from filing “new actions arising from these facts.” Id. at *4. The Court warned that “[i]f Plaintiff Kaul violates this Opinion and Order and files any materials without first obtaining leave to file, any request will be denied for failure to comply with this Opinion and Order, and Plaintiff Kaul may be subject to sanctions, including monetary penalties or contempt.” Id. at *9. II. Factual Background Plaintiffs have now filed, without leave, another complaint alleging that Defendants supported a multi-billion-dollar enterprise to regulate and discipline civilians, like Kaul, in violation of their human rights and the Constitution. Compl.

3-4; see also Kaul 2021 at *2 (alleging nearly identical claims). Plaintiffs claim that the Defendant insurance companies are committing racketeering through a “Slaving-Nazi-COVID-Insurance Axis” to “force[] mass global vaccination programs.” Compl.
