February 4, 2021	Filing 1 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ORDER: On January 27, 2021, an order was entered in case number 19 CV 50320, Hughes v. Varga, dismissing the matter with prejudice due to plaintiff's inappropriate conduct and referring Steven Hughes, whose full name is Steven Hill Hughes, to the Executive Committee so that it may consider imposing filing restrictions upon him. The Committee has considered the order. It is the judgment of the Executive Committee that reasonable and necessary restraints must be imposed upon Mr. Hughes' 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 it and will proceed as usual. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE in its capacity as the supervisor of the assignment of cases, that ------ 1) Mr. Steven Hughes, AKA Steven Hill Hughes, 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. Hughes, or anyone, other than an attorney, acting on his behalf, wishes to submit for filing shall be delivered to Room 2050, Office of the Clerk at the Courthouse in Chicago. Only the Clerk or deputies specifically designated by the Clerk may accept 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. Hughes in the complaint are new claims never before raised in any federal court. c) Whenever Mr. Hughes submits a document for filing, the clerk or designated deputy shall accept the papers, stamp them received, docket them, and forward them to the Executive Committee. 2) The Executive Committee will examine any complaints submitted by or on behalf of Mr. Hughes to determine whether they should be filed. 3) If Mr. Hughes 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 in a miscellaneous file with the title "In the matter of Steven Hughes" and cause a copy of the order to be forwarded to Mr. Hughes. 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. Hughes. 6) Mr. Hughes' 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. Hughes' ability to defend himself in any criminal action, b) to deny Mr. Hughes 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. Hughes access to the United States Court of Appeals or the United States Supreme Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That any password issued to Steven Hughes for access to the electronic filing system shall be disabled. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That any new complaints filed by Mr. Hughes 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 on the docket of each case in which Mr. Hughes is listed as a participant, the clerk shall list his full name, Steven Hill Hughes. Any future complaints approved for filing by the Executive Committee will be captioned with Mr. Hughes' full name. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That the Clerk shall cause to be created and maintained a miscellaneous docket with the title In the matter of Steven Hughes AKA Steven Hill Hughes and case number 21cv0593. The miscellaneous docket shall serve as the repository of this order and any order or minute order entered pursuant to it. All orders will be entered on that docket following standard docketing procedures. A brief entry will be made on the docket indicating the receipt of any materials from Mr. Hughes. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That the Clerk shall cause a copy of this order to be mailed to Mr. Hughes at #A81921, Dixon Correctional Center, 2600 N. Brinton Ave., Dixon, IL 61021, the address given by Mr. Hughes in documents filed on December 30, 2020. Such mailing shall be by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.
