Federal Court Restricts Pro Per Child Custody and Child Support Litigant From Further Filings & Appeals
In Andrews v. Heaton, a pro per litigant filed three appeals and an array of appellate motions arising from two federal lawsuits he brought seeking to compel federal judges to enjoin state court proceedings and obtain damages from them regarding rulings in child support custody matters.

they sought to assert claims against defendants entitled to absolute judicial immunity, (2) failed to meet the heightened pleading requirements of Rule 9(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and (3) sought to enforce criminal statutes through a civil action.
