PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, William Scott Davis, Jr.,
appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for relief
from judgment in four closed civil cases. We have reviewed the
record and find that these appeals are frivolous. Accordingly,
we dismiss the appeals for the reasons stated by the district
court. Davis v. Town of Cary N.C., No. 5:08-cv-00176-BO
(E.D.N.C. Feb. 25, 2016). We deny all of Davis’ pending
motions, including his motions for stay, for appointment of
counsel, and for appointment of a guardian ad litem.
Davis has a long history of filing pro se appeals and other
actions in this court. He has filed more than 100 such cases
since the beginning of 2014. In none of these actions has he
yet been granted relief. On January 27, 2017, by order to show
cause, Davis was ordered to show why he should not be sanctioned
for filing frivolous appeals, motions, and other documents, and
why he should not be enjoined from future filings.
Having reviewed Davis’ response to our order, we find his
arguments unpersuasive and conclude that a prefiling review
system is warranted in light of Davis’ utter disregard for the
limited resources of this court. See In re Vincent, 105 F.3d
943, 945-46 (4th Cir. 1997) (per curiam). Accordingly, we
enjoin Davis from filing any civil appeal in this court unless a
district court judge has certified that the appeal is not
4
frivolous. We further enjoin Davis, in any civil matter, from
filing any original action, petition, or motion in this court
unless this court has certified that the filing is not
frivolous. Any document failing to meet these requirements will
be returned to Davis without being placed on the court’s docket.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
