MICHAEL L. PACK,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
v.
G. MICHAEL JOHN, Attorney,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Richard D. Bennett, District Judge.
(1:08-cv-00399-RDB)
Submitted: August 22, 2008 Decided: September 12, 2008
Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Michael L. Pack, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Michael L. Pack appeals a district court order summarily
dismissing his complaint as frivolous. We have reviewed the order
and the district court record and dismiss the appeal as frivolous
on the reasoning of the district court. See Pack v. John, No.
1:08-cv-00399-RDB (D. Md. Feb. 28, 2008).
Based on Pack’s history of filing frivolous cases in the
district court and frivolous appeals in this court, we ordered Pack
to show cause why he should not be enjoined from filing appeals in
this court without first receiving certification from the district
court that the appeal is not frivolous. Pack filed a response
claiming his cases are not frivolous. After reviewing his response
and Pack’s cases, we disagree. As the district court noted, Pack
has filed about eighty cases in the district court since 1995, the
majority of which were summarily dismissed. Pack has also filed
frivolous appeals in this court. Given his disregard for the
limited resources of this court, we enjoin Pack from filing appeals
in this court without first receiving certification from the
district court that the appeal is not frivolous. Any appeal in a
civil case Pack presents to this court without district court
certification will not be filed.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as frivolous. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
2
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
