IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA
IN THE MATTER OF
KEVIN LONDON FILING RESTRICTIONS GENERAL ORDER 25-03
GENERAL ORDER
On December 19, 2024, an order [Dkt. 6] was entered in Case 24-CV-
578-CVE-JFJ which outlined possible filing restrictions that could be imposed
upon Kevin London if he continues to file frivolous pleadings. A similar warn-
ing was outlined in an order [Dkt. 6] entered on December 20, 2024, in Case
24-CV-583-CVE-MTS. Subsequently, Mr. London has filed another similar ac-
tion: 25-CV-011-JDR-JFJ.
THEREFORE: This General Order sets forth a sanction upon Kevin
London to prevent further frivolous filings and the procedures of which he
must comply in submitting certain pleadings to this Court for filing.
Mr. London will be required to obtain leave of Court to submit future
filings in any existing case currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Oklahoma, or to initiate a civil action in the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma without representation by an at-
torney licensed to practice in the State of Oklahoma and admitted to practice
before this Court.
If Mr. London wishes to submit future filings in existing cases or to ini-
tiate a pro se civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Oklahoma, he must comply with the following:
1. The Clerk shall not accept or file any pro se submissions, filings,
pleadings, or other documents from Mr. London for filing in an existing case
or which purports to initiate a civil action. If Mr. London, proceeding pro se,
submits a filing in an existing case or desires to file a new lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, he shall file a petition
with the Clerk requesting leave to file a complaint or other pleading that in-
cludes:
a. A copy of this Order and any subsequent Order;
b. A copy of the proposed complaint or pleading;

c. A list of all lawsuits currently pending or filed previously with this
Court or any other court, including the name, number, and citation,
if applicable, and the current status or disposition of each;
d. A list apprising this Court of all outstanding injunctions or orders
limiting Mr. London’s access to federal court, including orders and
injunctions requiring Mr. London to seek leave to file matters pro
se or requiring him to be represented by an attorney, including the
name, number, and citation, if applicable, and the current status or
disposition of each; and,
e. File with the Clerk a notarized affidavit, in proper legal form, which
certifies that the claims have not been previously asserted and/or do
not involve issues previously litigated and resolved, recites the issues
presented, including the factual basis, along with a short discussion
of the legal right asserted for modifying the district court’s decision,
and describing with particularity the order being challenged. The af-
fidavit also must certify, to the best of affiant’s knowledge, that the
legal arguments being raised are not frivolous, malicious, or made in
bad faith, that they are warranted by existing law or a good-faith
argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law,
that the complaint is not interposed for any improper purpose such
as delay or to needlessly increase the cost of litigation, and that the
affiant will comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
the local rules of this court.
2. The petition requesting leave of court to file pro se and the affidavit
must be submitted to the Clerk of the Court, who will forward them to the
Chief Judge, or a judge designated by the Chief Judge, for determination
whether the complaint or pleading is frivolous, malicious, or made in bad faith.
The Chief Judge, or the Chief Judge’s designee, will either allow the filing or
issue an Order denying it. Failure to follow these procedures will result in rejec-
tion of any further attempts to file in this Court. There will be no restrictions
for cases in which Mr. London is represented by an attorney licensed to practice
in the State of Oklahoma and admitted to practice before this Court.
3. These restrictions will apply to any case initiated by Mr. London,
individually, jointly, or with other parties, whether related to the subject matter

of Mr. London’s prior or current cases in the Northern District of Oklahoma
or otherwise.
4. Any pro se Notice of Appeal to the Tenth Circuit or any other filing
related to an appeal submitted by Mr. London to the Clerk of the Court shall
be filed immediately and processed in the normal course of business.
The Court Clerk is directed to open an ongoing miscellaneous case for
the purposes of accomplishing the procedures set forth in this General Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 11th day of February 2025.
