Highlight

A district court pre-filing order against vexatious litigant under N.D. Sup. Ct. Admin. R. 58 is reviewed for an abuse of discretion.

A pre-filing order under N.D. Sup. Ct. R. 58 must be issued by the presiding judge of a judicial district, and the district court abuses its discretion if a pre-filing order is issued by any other judge.

Orders denying leave to file new motions or documents are not appealable.

If a court does not rule on a motion, it may be deemed denied.

An award of attorney’s fees and double costs on appeal is granted for frivolous arguments.
