The case was brought by a person named Robin Hood against the United States government for allegedly violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

[2] Hood appealed the ruling requesting retention of in forma pauperis status but this was denied due to frivolous claims made during the court proceedings.

This request was granted however, the court dismissed the case with prejudice after Hood had failed to include a claim for relief.

[5] He filed a "Motion to Authenticate Documents as the Court might want to Reconsider" arguing "To dismiss these cases would show a cover-up to such complaints as this Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization in which other related cases show such abuses".

However, as Hood had made several baseless filings during the proceedings, including alleging unsubstantiated breaches of several clauses of the United States Constitution,[6] the court judged the case to be frivolous and revoked Hood's in forma pauperis status.
