    This matter is before the Court on its initial review of plaintiff"s pro se complaint,
    application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, two motions to add additional co-defendant,
    and a motion for emergency hearing. The Court will grant the in forma pauperis application [2]
    and the complaint [l] will be dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff"s motions to add additional
    co-defendants [3, 4] and the motion for emergency hearing [5] will be denied.

    see Putman v. Grassley, et al., No. 18-cv-2890 (D.D.C. filed Dec. 10, 2018), and this matter will
    be dismissed as duplicative.

    1 lt has come to the Court’s attention that Plaintiff has contacted the Clerk’s office on numerous
    occasions-often in person_demanding that Court staff and personnel immediately respond to
    his requests and demands. This behavior should not continue. The Court reminds Plaintiff that
    “part of the Court’ s responsibility is to see that [its] resources are allocated in a way that promotes
    the interests of justlce ” In re McDonala’, 
    489 U. S. 180
    , 184 (1989), and, should this treatment of
    Court staff continue, the Court may take future action.
