                                 No. 13-10447

possessing with the intent to distribute cocaine base and was sentenced to 360
months of imprisonment. See United States v. Kates, 174 F.3d 580, 581-84 (5th
Cir. 1999).   On February 8, 2012, in No. 2:12-CV-0018, the district court
entered the following order:
   DAVID EARL KATES is BARRED FROM FILING FURTHER
   ACTIONS, MOTIONS, OR PLEADINGS OF ANY KIND ON THE DIS-
   TRICT COURT LEVEL WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING WRITTEN
   JUDICIAL PERMISSION. Any future pleadings in violation of this
   BAR will be stricken and will receive no ruling from the Court.

      On April 8, 2013, Kates filed a “Petition for Writ of Mandamus and/or
Supervisory Remedial and Extraordinary Writs that are available Pursuant to
the All Writs Act 28 U.S.C. [§] 1361.” On April 10, 2013, the district court, in
accordance with the standing sanctioning order, directed that this pleading ‘is
STRICKEN and will receive no ruling from the Court.” Kates has not shown
that this was an abuse of discretion. See Balawajder v. Scott, 160 F.3d 1066,
1067−68 (5th Cir. 1998); see also Gelabert v. Lynaugh, 894 F.2d 746, 747−48
(5th Cir. 1990).
      AFFIRMED.
