UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WYLMINA E. HETTINGA,

Plaintiff,

v.

STUART J. SCOTT, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 5:19-mc-80019-JD 

ORDER RE PREFILING REVIEW

Plaintiff Wylmina Hettinga is subject to a vexatious-litigant order in this district. Dkt. No. 

107 in Case No. 13-cv-02217-RMW. Hettinga has filed a number of lawsuits in this district 

challenging orders in her state court divorce and custody proceedings. See, e.g., Dkt. No. 7 in 

Case No. 13-cv-02217-RMW; Dkt. No. 18 in Case No. 10-cv-02975-JSW. Judge Ronald Whyte 

imposed a pre-filing review requirement for any further suits in our district arising out of facts 

related to Hettinga’s divorce case. 

The Court has reviewed the proposed complaint lodged under this case name and number, 

and finds that it falls within the scope of the vexatious-litigant order. Hettinga sues Chief Justice 

Tani Cantil-Sakauye and Judge Stuart Scott of the State of California on facts related to her 

divorce case, specifically challenging child custody orders. See, e.g., Compl. ¶¶ 13, 38. 

Consequently, the complaint may not be filed. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this 

matter. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 7, 2019
