MISCONDUCT OR DISABILITY

Circuit Judges; Boasberg, Chief District Judge; McFadden, Friedrich, and
Nichols*, District Judges.
ORDER
Upon consideration of the order filed on October 10, 2025, pursuant to Rule 10(a) of the
Rules for Judicial-Conduct and Judicial Disability Proceedings (Judicial-Conduct Rules),
directing the complainant to show cause why complainant should not be precluded from filing
any new judicial misconduct complaints, and the response thereto, it is
ORDERED that order to show cause be discharged. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that no new complaints of judicial misconduct received from
the complainant shall be accepted for filing. The complainant has filed 13 complaints this year,
all of which have been dismissed because the allegations were repetitive, unsupported, or related
to the merits of an underlying decision. In addition, he made four submissions in 2025 that were
rejected for noncompliance with the Judicia-Conduct Rules. Rule 10(a) of the Judicial-Conduct
Rules provides:
A complainant who has filed repetitive, harassing, or frivolous complaints,
or has otherwise abused the complaint procedure, may be restricted from
filing further complaints. After giving the complainant an opportunity to
show cause in writing why his or her right to field further complaints should
not be limited, the judicial council may prohibit, restrict, or impose
conditions on the complainant’s use of the complaint procedure. Upon
written request of the complainant, the judicial council may revise or
withdraw any prohibition, restriction, or condition previously imposed.

Accordingly, the complainant is hereby enjoined from filing further complaints of
judicial misconduct and disability, subject to the provisions of Rule 10(a). This restriction shall
remain in effect until further order of the Judicial Council. The Circuit Executive is directed to
return to complainant all submissions of judicial misconduct that are received while this order
remains in effect, including the nine documents submitted by the complainant on October 6,
2025.
