November 4, 2020 MAILED copy of Executive Committee Order dated 11/3/20 #2 to Marva Crowder via certified mail no. 7019 2280 0000 0963 1750. (nsf, )
November 3, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 2 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ORDER: On October 22, 2020, an Executive Committee Order was entered, directing that pro se litigant Marva Crowder sign in upon arrival to the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago, Illinois or the Roszkowski U.S. Courthouse in Rockford, Illinois and be escorted by a representative of the United States Marshals Service while he is in the Courthouse. Prior to the entry of the order, the Executive Committee was advised that Mr. Crowder had created a disturbance at the Clerk's Office Intake Desk on the 20th floor of the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse and was removed from the building. The Committee was further advised that on prior occasions, Mr. Crowder became verbally abusive during Court hearings, resulting in a judge's staff requesting the presence of a U.S. Marshals Service representative at Mr. Crowder's future hearings. Since the entry of the October 22, 2020 order, the Executive Committee has learned that on October 30, 2020, Mr. Crowder passed through the screening entrance at the U.S. Dirksen Courthouse in Chicago, Illinois without presenting himself to sign in and be escorted as directed in the Executive Committee Order dated October 22, 2020. Mr. Crowder proceeded to the 20th floor District Court Clerk's Office, unescorted. The United States Marshals Service was notified. When United States Marshals Service representatives reached the 20th floor Clerk's Office, Mr. Crowder refused to leave on his own and was forcibly removed from the area. While being escorted from the 20th floor, Mr. Crowder struggled with Marshals Service representatives, biting a Court Security Officer. Ultimately, Mr. Crowder was charged in Cook County Circuit Court with aggravated battery to a government employee. The Executive Committee finds that due to his continued erratic behavior and failure to follow the October 22, 2020 order, there is sufficient cause for concern regarding Mr. Crowder's conduct if he is not further restricted during his time in the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago, Illinois or the Roszkowski U.S. Courthouse in Rockford, Illinois. Further, it is the judgment of the Executive Committee that reasonable and necessary restraints must be imposed upon Mr. Carver's ability to file new civil cases in this District pro se. Cases in existence prior to the entry of this order are not affected by the order and shall proceed as usual. Based upon Marva Crowder's conduct: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT to maintain judicial security, Marva Crowder will be permitted to enter the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago, Illinois, or the Roszkowski U.S. Courthouse in Rockford, Illinois, only when he is ordered to do so by a judge of any Court to be physically present in the Courthouse for proceedings scheduled by a Court, and then he may enter the Courthouse no earlier than fifteen (15) minutes before the scheduled time of the proceedings. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT upon entering the Courthouse, Mr. Crowder must first report to the officer at the lobby desk by identifying himself. He shall then identify the Court proceedings he is required to attend, naming the judge presiding over the matter before he will be allowed through the security check point in the Courthouse lobby. Mr. Crowder shall be accompanied in the Courthouse to and from the proceedings by a Deputy United States Marshal or another representative of the United States Marshals Service, and he must leave the Courthouse no later than five (5) minutes after his scheduled proceedings in Court are completed. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT should Mr. Crowder have documents to submit, he shall mail them to the Courthouse or email them to Temporary_E-Filing@ilnd.uscourts.gov while allowed by General Order 20-0012. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE in its capacity as the supervisor of the assignment of cases, that ------ 1) Mr. Marva Crowder, or anyone, other than an attorney acting on his behalf, is enjoined from filing any new civil action or proceeding in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois without first obtaining leave by way of the following procedures: a) Any materials Mr. Crowder, or anyone, other than an attorney acting on his behalf, wishes to submit for filing shall be forwarded to Room 2050, Office of the Clerk at the Courthouse in Chicago via U.S. Mail or via email to Temporary_E-Filing@ilnd.uscourts.gov. Only the Clerk or deputies specifically designated by the Clerk may receive such documents. b) Where the document submitted is a complaint, it shall be accompanied by a motion captioned "Motion Seeking Leave to File Pursuant to Order of Executive Committee." That motion shall, in addition to requesting leave to file the complaint, include a sworn statement certifying that the claims raised by or on behalf of Mr. Crowder in the complaint are new claims never before raised in any federal court. c) Whenever Mr. Crowder submits a document for filing, the clerk or designated deputy shall accept the papers, stamp them received, docket them on Mr. Crowder's Executive Committee case number, and forward them to the Executive Committee. 2) The Executive Committee will examine any complaints submitted by or on behalf of Mr. Crowder to determine whether they should be filed. 3) If Mr. Crowder seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis, the Committee will also determine if such leave should be granted. The Committee will deny leave to file any complaints if they are legally frivolous or are merely duplicative of matters already litigated. The Committee may deny leave to file any complaints not filed in conformity with this order. 4) If the Executive Committee enters an order denying leave to file the materials, the clerk shall retain the order on a miscellaneous docket with the title "In Re: Marva Crowder" and cause a copy of the order to be forwarded to Mr. Crowder. 5) If the Executive Committee enters an order granting leave to file the materials, the clerk will cause the materials to be stamped filed as of the date received and shall cause the case to be assigned to a judge in accordance with the rules. The clerk shall also cause a copy of the order to be forwarded to Mr. Crowder. 6) Mr. Crowder's failure to comply with this order may, within the discretion of the Executive Committee, result in his being held in contempt of court and punished accordingly. 7) Nothing in this order shall be construed ----- a) to affect Mr. Crowder's ability to defend himself in any criminal action, b) to deny Mr. Crowder access to the federal courts through the filing of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus or other extraordinary writ, or c) to deny Mr. Crowder access to the United States Court of Appeals or the United States Supreme Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That any password issued to Marva Crowder for access to the electronic filing system shall be disabled. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That any new complaints filed by Mr. Crowder and transferred to this Court from another jurisdiction shall be reviewed by the Executive Committee to determine whether they should be filed. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That the Clerk shall cause a copy of this order to be mailed to Mr. Crowder at 16438 Woodlawn West Ave., South Holland, Illinois 60473, the address provided in documents filed on September 30, 2020. Such mailing shall be by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That a copy of this order shall also be emailed to Mr. Crowder at marvacrowder@icloud.com, the email address provided in documents filed on September 30, 2020. Signed by the Executive Committee on 11/3/2020. (td, )
October 23, 2020 MAILED copy of Executive Committee Order dated 10/22/2020 #1 to Marva Crowder via certified mail no. 7019 2280 0000 0963 2344. (sxb, )
October 22, 2020 Filing 1 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ORDER: The Executive Committee has become aware that on October 19, 2020, pro se litigant Marva Crowder created a disturbance at the Clerk's Office Intake Desk on the 20th floor of the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse, becoming verbally aggressive, loud and threatening toward Clerk's Office staff and Court Security Officers. Court Security Officers removed Mr. Crowder from the Courthouse. The Committee has further been advised that on prior occasions, a District Court Judge's staff reported to the U.S. Marshals Service that Mr. Crowder had become verbally abusive during Court hearings. The Judge's staff asked that a Marshals Service representative be present for all of Mr. Crowder's future hearings. Mr. Crowder's inappropriate conduct has raised concerns among the Court, the Clerk's Office, and the U.S. Marshals Service. The Executive Committee finds that there is sufficient cause for concern regarding Mr. Crowder's conduct if he is not escorted during his time in the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago, Illinois or the Roszkowski U.S. Courthouse in Rockford, Illinois, therefore IT IS HEREBY ORDERED That to maintain judicial security, Mr. Marva Crowder is ordered to sign in upon arrival at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse at 219 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois, 60604 or at the Stanley J. Roszkowski U.S. Courthouse at 327 S. Church Street, Rockford, Illinois 61101, and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That a representative of the U.S. Marshals Service shall accompany Mr. Crowder at all times while he is present in the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse or in the Stanley J. Roszkowski U.S. Courthouse, and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That failure to comply with this order may lead to further sanctions, and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That a miscellaneous docket with the title "In the matter of Marva Crowder" and case number 20 C 6264 shall serve as the repository of this order and any order or minute order entered pursuant to this order. All orders will be entered on the docket following standard docketing procedures. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That the Clerk shall cause a copy of this order to be mailed to Mr. Crowder at 16438 Woodlawn West Ave., South Holland, Illinois 60473, the address provided in documents filed on September 30, 2020. Such mailing shall be by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
