You mean it's not a joke? No wonder our legal system is overloaded. They should have some sort of a "stupid fee" for lawsuits.

No, this guy files several lawsuits a year from prison. The top one alleges that Michael Vick stole his dogs, sells unauthorized Jonathan Riches merchandise, used the proceeds from the sale of his stolen dogs to buy missiles from Iran, and pledged allegiance to Al Qaida. These are all real lawsuits. I also notice that the latest one is hand written "due to restrictions on typewriters". Seems the prison is even trying to stop this nut ball.

I read the first one, it made me laugh. I assumed it was a joke. Pity.

What that guy did isn't common, but it's not all that unusual. All courts have special procedures for handling people like that. A lot of times the people who do it are prisoners. They have some legal sophistication and a lot of time on their hands. If you noticed, the guy got the caption and format right for a federal suit, even if it was handwritten. The reason suits like this aren't more common is because most people have to pay a filing fee. Prisoners and other low income people sometimes get their filing fees waived.

I've been involved with defending "lawsuits" like this a few times. You can get sanctions against them, but what's the point? At some point they file enough suits that you can bring a motion to bar them from filing any more suits without prior approval by a judge. Once I had to deal with a militia guy who would serve papers purporting to file suit against anyone who answered one of his insane "lawsuits". It's a little disconcerting to see your name on the caption but they're pretty easy to handle. The judge would get protective of you after he was named as a so-called defendant too and the cases got dismissed quickly. At least it makes the day a little more interesting.
