By Order entered on September 29, 2020, the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia transferred the petition to this Court. (ECF No. 6.) Because of his history offrivolous and abusive litigation, Richardson's litigation in this Court is subject to a prefiling injunction. See Richardson v. Virginia Dep't of Corr., ECF No. 49,3:07CV514(E.D. Va. Jan. 8,2009). That injunction requires, inter alia, that Richardson to attach any new complaint or petition a separate document entitled "motion for leave to file and certificate of compliance." By Memorandum Order entered on October 9, 2020, the Court directed Richardson to comply with the terms ofthe prefiling injunction within twenty(20)days ofthe date of entry thereof. More than twenty(20)days have elapsed since the entry of the October 9,2020 Memorandum Order and Richardson has not submitted a "motion for Dockets.Justia.com Case 3:20-cv-00765-HEH-EWH Document 9 Filed 12/17/20 Page 2 of 2 PageID# 38 leave to file and certificate ofcompliance" for the present action.
