In the Matter of
REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION OF INJUNCTION
JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT COMPLAINT No. 04-9

## ORDER

BEFORE:
Garland, Chief Circuit Judge; Griffith, Srinivasan, Millett, and Pillard, Circuit
Judges; Howell, Chief District Judge; Sullivan, Kollar-Kotelly*, and Mehta,
District Judges.

By order dated September 7, 2004, the Judicial Council enjoined the complainant from
filing further repetitive and frivolous complaints of judicial misconduct against judges of this
Circuit. Over the course of 8 years complainant had filed more than 18 misconduct complaints
against both district and circuit judges, which were all dismissed as meritless or frivolous, and
which the Council denied review. The complaints all stemmed from complainant's civil
litigation. The Judicial Council determined that complainant was abusing the complaint
process. The injunction order stated that the Clerk shall "review any further submissions
received from this complainant, and return any that the Clerk deems to fall within the scope of
this injunction. The Clerk may refer to the Chief Judge any submission, about which there is
doubt whether the injunction applies."

On January 28, 2019, the Circuit received a letter from complainant in which he
requested that the injunction be lifted so that he could file additional judicial misconduct
complaints. The allegations complainant raised have been considered in multiple judicial
misconduct complaints as well as in the underlying litigation. The complainant has not
demonstrated that the allegations he seeks to raise fall outside of the injunction or warrant
further review. Upon consideration thereof, it is

ORDERED, by the Judicial Council, that the request to lift the injunction be denied.

FOR THE COUNCIL:

ELIZABETH H. PARET
