1. “Prewitt has become adept at punishing those with whom he has a personal conflict by filing and pursuing frivolous lawsuits against them. * * ⅜ * ⅜ ⅜ Prewitt has filed numerous frivolous and malicious actions in this and other courts, has made a nuisance of himself in the Greenville courthouse itself and has set forth in writing his belief that he is carrying on a holy war against several judicial officers of this court. As a sanction for these actions the court hereby bars Prewitt from entering the third floor of the federal courthouse in Green- ville, Mississippi.... The fact that Prewitt poses a security risk favors a complete and permanent ban from the courthouse. However, the fact that Prewitt is an attorney would seem to require some relaxation of that requirement because he may, at some point, be required to attend a trial or hearing in federal court. Should Prewitt wish to file pleadings or other papers with this court, he must do so by U.S. Mail or private courier. Should Prewitt wish to conduct legal research, he must do so in some other location. The court may, however, for good cause shown, permit Prewitt to attend hearings for which his presence is required in one of the courthouses in this district. Should Prewitt’s presence at the courthouse be so required, a United States Marshal shall escort him to and from the hearing and accompany him at all times when he is in the courthouse.”
