The plaintiff filed a civil rights action seeking to proceed in forma pauperis against Satan and his servants, alleging that they placed obstacles in his path and caused his downfall. The court denied the request, questioning whether it had personal jurisdiction over the defendant, whether the suit could properly proceed as a class action, and because the plaintiff failed to include instructions for serving the defendant. The court noted issues around jurisdiction over Satan, maintaining it as a class action, and lack of service instructions. As a result, it exercised its discretion to deny the plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis.
