E.D. Mich. LR 5.2
Enjoined Filers
A district judge may enjoin a litigant from filing actions without first obtaining leave of court if the judge finds that the litigant has engaged in a pattern of filing repetitive, frivolous, or vexatious cases.
History
COMMENT: The Sixth Circuit court of appeals has authorized courts to implement a pre-filing screening mechanism to filter out complaints from litigants who have filed multiple actions that previously were found to be frivolous. See Feathers v. Chevron, U.S.A., Inc., 141 F.3d 264, 269-70 (6th Cir. 1998). April 1, 2023

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
