I filed a formal administrative oversight complaint with the judiciary, following up on my earlier filing with Chief Judge Eagles that was dismissed without addressing the substance. This isn’t about asking the court to rule in my favor—it’s about holding the Middle District accountable for systemic administrative abuse that’s disproportionately harming pro se litigants and people with disabilities.
I documented how I’ve been locked out of CM/ECF based on fabricated standards, had every motion denied under a local rule that doesn’t even apply, and been forced to spend hours driving and hundreds of dollars on printing, mailing, and courier costs just to file basic pleadings. My emergency Rule 59(e) motion in case 1:25-cv-417 has been sitting for six weeks without a ruling, while the court refuses to identify key defendants I need to name.
These aren’t harmless delays—they’re deliberate obstructions that compound the harm, bleed into my state case, and strip me of the ability to litigate on equal footing. I told them plainly: if this is how federal courts treat whistleblowers and people with disabilities, then the integrity of the system itself is in question.
