September 24, 2021 MAILED Order Dated 09/22/2021 to Lance D Turner at Elgin Mental Health Center, #893213, 750 South State St., Elgin, IL 60123-7692. Article No. 7019 1120 0001 0290 1868. (tg, )
September 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 1 ORDER : 7. Judge Gary Feinerman referred Mr. Turner to the Executive Committee, to make it aware of Mr. Turner's past and current litigation. Mr. Turner has filed at least 19 cases in the Northern District of Illinois either using the names, Lance Turner, Lance D. Turner, and Lance Dionte Turner. Most cases were dismissed for failure to state a claim or failure to pay the filing fee. On September 9, 2021, the Executive Committee met and reviewed Mr. Turner's litigation history. It is the judgment of the Executive Committee that reasonable and necessary restraints must be imposed upon Mr. Turner'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 this directive 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. Lance D. Turner, 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. Turner, or anyone, other than an attorney acting on his behalf, wishes to submit for filing will 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 must be accompanied by a motion captioned "Motion Seeking Leave to File Pursuant to Order of Executive Committee." That motion must, in addition to requesting leave to file the complaint, include a sworn statement certifying that the claims raised by or on behalf of Mr. Turner in the complaint are new claims never before raised in any federal court. c) Whenever Mr. Turner submits a document for filing, the clerk or designated deputy will accept the papers, stamp them received, docket them on Mr. Turner'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. Turner to determine whether they should be filed. 3) If Mr. Turner 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 will retain the order on a miscellaneous docket with the title "In Re: Lance D. Turner" and cause a copy of the order to be mailed to Mr. Turner. 5) If the Executive Committee enters an order granting leave to file the submission, the Clerk will cause the materials to be stamped filed as of the date received and will cause the case to be assigned to a judge in accordance with the rules. The Clerk will also cause a copy of the order to be mailed to Mr. Turner. 6) Mr. Turner'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 will be construed ----- a) to affect Mr. Turner's ability to defend himself in any criminal action, b) to deny Mr. Turner 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. Turner access to the United States Court of Appeals or the United States Supreme Court. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That any password issued to Lance D. Turner for access to the electronic filing system will be disabled; and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That any new complaints filed by Mr. Turner and transferred to this Court from another jurisdiction will be reviewed by the Executive Committee to determine whether they should be filed; and IT IS FURTHER ORDERD That Lance D. Turner is authorized to submit to this Court, no earlier than twelve months from the date of this order, a motion to modify or rescind the restrictions against him, unless he demonstrates to the Executive Committee by written submission that he is in imminent danger of serious harm; and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That the Clerk will cause to be created and maintained a miscellaneous docket with the title 'In Re: Lance D. Turner" and case number 21 CV 5030. The miscellaneous docket will serve as the repository of this order and any order or minute order entered pursuant to it. All orders will be entered on the docket following standard docketing procedures. A brief entry will be made on the docket indicating the receipt of any materials from Mr. Turner; and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That the Clerk will cause a copy of this order to be mailed to Mr. Turner at Elgin Mental Health Center, #893213, 750 South State St., Elgin, IL 60123-7692, the address provided in documents filed on September 9, 2021 filings in 21 C 3077.
