CHARLES KINNEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

PHILIP S. GUTIERREZ,

Defendant.

Case No.19-mc-80021-JD 

ORDER RE PREFILING REVIEW

Plaintiff Charles Kinney is subject to a vexatious-litigant order in this district. Dkt. No. 56 

in Case No. 18-cv-01041-EMC. Among his many earlier lawsuits is a case against the Honorable 

Philip S. Gutierrez, United States District Judge in the Central District of California, related to 

Kinney’s real property in Los Angeles. See Dkt. No. 53 at 4-5 in Case No. 18-cv-01041-EMC. 

Judge Edward Chen imposed a pre-filing review requirement for any further suits in our district 

related to that property or associated court proceedings. 

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. Kinney again sues Judge 

Gutierrez in relation to his Los Angeles property, and again challenges the orders against him in 

the earlier actions. See, e.g., Compl. ¶¶ 5-6, 19.

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

matter. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 26, 2019
