I'd be worried about him having a laugh with this, to be honest. If I didn't find some of his other behavior disgusting, it might even amuse me to think of a student convincing a professor that his eye rolls were pathological in nature - especially if the professor forbade the behavior in the syllabus. If he hates you, this could be a great way from his perspective to stick it to you... to make you look like a dummy.

Possible, and I can see why that would appeal, but he's not really sticking it to me (though he's welcome to think so)--he's not getting anything special from coming to my office hours. And so long as he shuts up in class and stops acting out so I can teach effectively, I'll be happy.
I can trigger the request to expel him at any time if he crosses the line again, and I will.

So long as he's not rolling his eyes sarcastically at someone in my judgment, it should be OK. He's still responsible for controlling his behaviors in the university's eyes.
