¶37Stibbe v. Haven
¶38No. 20150339
¶40Per Curiam.
¶41[¶1] Gary Stibbe appeals from a district court order dismissing his claims with prejudice. Stibbe argues the signature on his father’s will is forged. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1).
¶42[¶2] Stibbe also appeals from a district court order enjoining him from filing or serving in North Dakota any complaint, motion, or legal process against any person or entity in this state without first either (1) obtaining prior approval from an active North Dakota judge to bring such action or (2) obtaining the services of a practicing North Dakota attorney who is subject to the Rules of Professional Responsibility to handle the legal proceedings on behalf of Stibbe. We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion. Lang v. Binstock , 2001 ND App 1, ¶ 5, 622 N.W.2d 241; Holkesvig v. Welte , 2012 ND 142, ¶ 6, 818 N.W.2d 760. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4).
¶43[¶3] Stibbe may not file or serve in North Dakota any complaint, motion, or legal process against any person or entity in this state without first either (1) obtaining prior approval from an active North Dakota judge to bring such action or (2) obtaining the services of a practicing North Dakota attorney who is subject to the Rules of Professional Responsibility to handle the legal proceedings on behalf of Stibbe. No defendant named in any proceeding brought by or on behalf of Stibbe need respond to any such proceeding until Stibbe first establishes in a court proceeding that he has complied with the requirements of this order.
