UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURTFOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA )ORLY TAITZ,))Plaintiff,)Civil Action No.: 10-0151 (RCL))v.))BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA,))Defendant.))
DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS
Defendant, Barack H. Obama, respectfully moves to dismiss this action for lack of jurisdiction. As explained in the attached memorandum, Plaintiff seeks to challenge thequalifications of President Obama for office. Her complaint, like the others she has litigated ascounsel for various clients, fails to present a justiciable claim for several reasons, primarily her lack of standing and the inherently political nature of her claims. Plaintiff also seeks a preliminary injunction and the attached memorandum also serves as Defendant’s oppositionthereto. Because this motion seeks to dispose of the entire case, counsel for Defendant did notattempt to obtain pro se Plaintiff’s position on this motion.February 26, 2010Respectfully submitted, RONALD C. MACHEN JR., D.C. Bar #447889United States Attorney/s/RUDOLPH CONTRERAS, D.C. Bar # 434122Assistant United States Attorney

DEFENDANT’S COMBINED MEMORANDUMIN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO DISMISS AND INOPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
Defendant, Barack H. Obama, respectfully provides this combined memorandum of points and authorities in (1) support of his motion to dismiss this case, and (2) opposition toPlaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction (R.8). Plaintiff lacks standing to bring her claims,as has been thoroughly established by the several other federal courts in which she has litigatedsubstantially similar claims. For this reason alone, her case should be dismissed and her requestfor preliminary injunction denied. As to her motion for a preliminary injunction, she seeks therecusal of the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia from representing thePresident in this civil lawsuit as well as the release of a number of documents purportedly relatedto a vague series of allegations associated with her representations about the President’seligibility for office. None of these requests have any merit.
