In a Decision – Ji v. Lo, (an "Unreported Decision") >> the Court Held:
The Appellate Division reversed and remanded the Order that required pre-screening of Motions.
There have been more than thirty post-judgment motions, with multiple requests for relief, and orders to show cause filed since entry of the Divorce. The business of the courts is to finalize disputes. Any discretionary exercise of the extreme remedy of enjoining or conditioning a litigant's ability to present his or her claim to the court must be used sparingly; it is not a remedy of first or even second resort. Here, the June 5 prior approval order applied broadly to any application made by either plaintiff or defendant; it was not narrowly focused on specific issues. The order required prescreening before an application could be considered a motion, but it did not identify who would screen the applications or what criteria would be applied. The court did not identify other motions that previously were deemed to be frivolous. The court did not make reference to any prior sanctions.
