Opinion

VICTORIA TENISHA SHANAE ) Case No. CV 24-7915 FMO (MARx) DILLIHUNT, ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE: v. ) VEXATIOUS LITIGANT ) HELEN KELLER, et al., ) ) Defendants. ) ) On September 12, 2024, Victoria Tenisha Shanae Dillihunt (“plaintiff”) filed a Complaint (Dkt. 1) and a Request to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. (See Dkt. 4, “IFP Request”). The Complaint is one of more than 70 frivolous and duplicative actions that plaintiff has filed in this District. Accordingly, the court finds it appropriate to warn plaintiff that she may be designated as a vexatious litigant. This Order places her on notice that the court is considering a vexatious litigant order that will impose pre-filing conditions with which she must comply before filing another complaint, IFP Request, or document in this District. If plaintiff opposes the designation, she must file a written response to this Order by the deadline set forth below. “Federal courts can regulate the activities of abusive litigants by imposing carefully tailored restrictions under . . . appropriate circumstances.” Ringgold-Lockhart v. County of Los Angeles, 761 F.3d 1057, 1061 (9th Cir. 2014) (internal quotation marks omitted). In this District, the court may, “[o]n its own motion,” initiate a vexatious litigant order at “any time,” which eventually may result in “a directive to the Clerk not to accept further filings from the litigant . . . without written authorization from a judge of the Court or a Magistrate Judge[.]” Local Rule 83-8.2. “When district courts seek to impose pre-filing restrictions, they must: (1) give litigants notice and an opportunity to oppose the order before it [is] entered; (2) compile an adequate record for appellate review, including a listing of all the cases and motions that led the district court to conclude that a vexatious litigant order was needed; (3) make substantive findings of frivolousness or harassment; and (4) tailor the order narrowly so as to closely fit the specific vice encountered.” Ringgold-Lockhart, 761 F.3d at 1062 (internal quotation marks omitted). “The first and second of these requirements are procedural, while the latter two factors . . . are substantive considerations . . . [that] help the district court define who is, in fact, a ‘vexatious litigant’ and construct a remedy that will stop the litigant’s abusive behavior while not unduly infringing the litigant’s right to access the courts.” Id. at 1063 (internal quotation marks omitted). Each requirement is addressed below. This Order serves as notice to plaintiff that she has until the deadline set forth below to file a written opposition to her designation as a vexatious litigant. See Ringgold-Lockhart, 761 F.3d at 1063 (tentative ruling declaring plaintiffs as vexatious litigants and the provision of two weeks to oppose it were sufficient to provide notice and an opportunity to be heard). The matter will be decided without oral argument. See Pacific Harbor Capital, Inc. v. Carnival Air Lines, Inc., 210 F.3d 1112, 1118 (9th Cir. 2000) (“[A]n opportunity to be heard does not require an oral or evidentiary hearing on the issue.”). “An adequate record for review should include a listing of all the cases and motions that led the district court to conclude that a vexatious litigant order was needed.” De Long v. Hennessey, 912 F.2d 1144, 1147 (9th Cir. 1990). In its compilation of the record, the court lists the following cases that were dismissed as frivolous: 1. Dillihunt v.
