Plaintiff/Appellant's Count II was a collateral attack on Judge Jarvis's
previous order enjoining Plaintiff/Appellant from:
"... filing any further pleadings in this case and
any further pleadings in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee arising
out of the facts set forth in this lawsuit..."
However, Honorable Thomas G. Hull also made the following statement
in his order of December 18, 1996 with respect to the case before Judge
Jarvis:
"... there is a suggestion in the record that Judge
Jarvis may have relied upon a false affidavit in
dismissing the previous lawsuit..."
Plaintiff/Appellant then filed a Motion to Set Aside Orders on
January 17, 1997 in the immediate case which was denied by Judge Jarvis
by his Final Order of January 31, 1997. This Final Order was appealed by
Plaintiff/Appellant within 10 days under Rule 60, Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure and Rule 4, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
On May 19, 1997, Plaintiff/Appellant filed a Petition For Writ
Of Prohibition against Judge Jarvis which is presently before this
Honorable Court as Court of Appeals Case No. 97-5611. Judge Jarvis was
given the opportunity by this Honorable Court to respond to the charges
in said petition. On Friday, June 6, 1997, Plaintiff/Appellant was
informed by the Clerk of the Court that Judge Jarvis had returned the
certified docket as requested by this Court but had submitted no cover
letter and no response.
