The District Court for the NMI has dismissed multiple lawsuits filed by persona non grata Zaji Zajradhara due to deficiencies found in his complaints. <\/p>\n
District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona Manglona has dismissed, without prejudice, the lawsuits Zajradhara has filed against PC Bargain and Commonwealth COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program administrator Epiphanio \u201cEpi\u201d Cabrera and CCERA employee Dana Calvo.<\/p>\n
Without prejudice means the lawsuits can be refiled.<\/p>\n
Although Zajradhara claims have been dismissed, Manglona granted the complainant\u2019s request to pursue his claims without paying court fees, and allowed him to amend his lawsuits if he so chooses.<\/p>\n
In Zajradhara\u2019s lawsuit against PC Bargain, Manglona dismissed without prejudice his entire First Amended Complaint that asserts a 42 U.S.C. \u00a71981 claim, immigration violations claim, and failure to hire claim.<\/p>\n
Zajradhara also claimed discrimination based on race, national origin, religion, and color of skin in his lawsuit against PC Bargain in federal court and demanded an undetermined amount of damages.<\/p>\n
The judge directed him to file a second amended complaint correcting the deficiencies identified in his first amended complaint.<\/p>\n
In his amended complaint, Zajradhara must restate all necessary factual allegations, all claims against every defendant he intends to sue, and all remedies he seeks if he chooses to file one. <\/p>\n
Zajradhara was ordered to file the amended complaint no later than Sept. 25.<\/p>\n
As for Zajradhara\u2019s complaint against the CCERA administrator and one of its employees, Manglona dismissed the complaint for its failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted, and for being frivolous. <\/p>\n
Manglona said if Zajradhara seeks to pursue his claims, he must file a First Amended Complaint no later than Sept. 19, which must allege facts regarding the named defendants if he seeks to establish any liability on them. <\/p>\n
He must also first exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing with the court, Manglona said. <\/p>\n
\u201cFailure to do so may result in dismissal of this case,\u201d the judge said. <\/p>\n
Zajradhara, in his complaint against Cabrera and Calvo, claimed that the CNMI government is misusing, misdirecting, and\/or misappropriating federal funds intended for recipients of the Commonwealth COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program or CCERA; is discriminating against him as evidenced by illegal actions it has taken against him in violation of \u00a7 1983; overtly retaliated against him as a minority American citizen for bringing attention to rampant visa fraud, misuse of the visa system, and illegal registering of CW-1 workers as business owners; and unjustly denied payment of his telephone and internet bills despite utilities being covered under the CCERA.<\/p>\n
A House Resolution declaring Zajradhara a persona non-grata in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands was introduced back in 2019. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
