How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• suggesting that a “district court should consider issuing an order to show cause” before issuing an anti-filing injunction
• finding that litigant’s thirteen filings did not pose a sufficient threat to the orderly administration of justice to warrant a pre-filing injunction
• stating that pre-filing injunctions “remain very much the exception to the general rule of free access to the courts”
• “[Pre-filing] injunctions should remain very much the exception to the general rule of free access to the courts[.]”
• rejecting pre-filing injunction where five of plaintiff’s seven complaints were still pending and thus not yet shown to be frivolous
• denying injunction against plaintiff filing multiple FOIA suits because “the district court should be careful not to conclude that . . . FOIA actions[] in and of themselves warrant a finding of harassment”
