A pro se plaintif responding to the motion

The clerk advised a pro se defendant on possible consequences if he failed to adequately respond to motion for summary judgment.   The defendant filed a "Petition for Abatement" in which he asserted that the complaint fails to name him as a party on the grounds that his name appears in all upper case letter.

The court's response: "This filing by defendant does not respond in any form to the arguments raised in the Government's motion for summary judgment, and the respondent has failed to otherwise respond to the motion."
