4th Circuit Judicial Complaints

TO

Ryan Dillon-Capps

Summary

A complainant who has filed repetitive, harassing, or frivolous complaints, or has otherwise abused the complaint procedure, may be restricted from filing further complaints. Judicial-Conduct Rule 10(a). Within the past 3 months, complainant has filed a total of 33 judicial complaints in which he raised baseless claims that have been dismissed as merits-related and lacking in evidentiary support. Furthermore, it appears that complainant named the subject judges in his latest complaints in an effort to manipulate the judicial complaint process and force a transfer to another jurisdiction. Complainant is ordered to show cause within 14 days of the filing of this order why he should not be restricted from filing further judicial complaints. Complainant’s response to the show cause order will be referred to the Fourth Circuit Judicial Council to conside whether to prohibit, restrict, or impose conditions on the complainant’s use of the complaint procedure. Id. Any judicial complaints submitted by complainant between the date of this order and a final disposition of this matter by the Judicial Council will be considered pursuant to Judicial-Conduct Rule 5.'
