It's a "sort of" hoax. Yes, it was really filed, but by a "frequent filer" using an alias. So, probably will take 10 minutes of review and tossed out.

---

apparently its coming out that its some guy named Jonathan Lee Riches.

quote:

---

Since January 8, 2006, he has filed over 2600 lawsuits in federal district courts across the country, some of which have received considerable press attention. Among the more famous defendants of his lawsuits are Dallas area lawyer Treyson Brooks, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, former President of the United States George W. Bush, Martha Stewart, NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon, former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, entrepreneur Steve Jobs, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Somali pirates, and pop star Britney Spears. He also sued the late Benazir Bhutto, Pervez Musharraf, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service on November 7, 2007, to prevent him from being deported to Pakistan upon his release from prison in March 2012 so that he will not be tortured.

On April 9, 2008, Riches filed a request for a temporary restraining order in a US District Court against Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two, developer Rockstar Games, FCI Williamsburg, and Grand Theft Auto itself, claiming that the defendants "put me in prison." The inmate stated, "Defendants contributed to Plaintiff committing identity theft. Defendant's games show sex, drugs and violence which offends me." Riches continued, "Defendants put me in prison. I face imminent danger from violent inmates who played Grand Theft Auto who will knock me out and take my gold Jesus cross."

Riches has also attempted to intervene as a plaintiff in the Madoff investment scandal, claiming that he "met Bernard Madoff on eharmony.com in 2001" and taught Madoff identity theft skills.

In May 2009, Riches filed for an injunction against the Guinness Book of World Records, seeking to stop them from naming him as the most litigious individual in the history of mankind.

Some of Riches' defendants are not even persons subject to suit. These include "Adolf Hitler's National Socialist Party" and the "13 tribes of Israel." One lawsuit, which includes George Bush, also includes another 783 defendants that cover 57 pages. They include Plato, Nostradamus, Che Guevara, James Hoffa, "Various Buddhist Monks," all survivors of the Holocaust, the Lincoln Memorial, the Eiffel Tower, the USS Cole, the book Mein Kampf, the Garden of Eden, the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, the Appalachian Trail, Plymouth Rock, the Holy Grail, Nordic gods, the dwarf planet Pluto, and the entire Three Mile Island.

A number of Riches's lawsuits have been dismissed as being "frivolous, malicious" or for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Willis Hunt, the U.S. District Court Judge who dismissed Riches' suit against Vick as "farcical," opined that his lawsuits were clearly self-promotional. As per 28 U.S. Code § 1915(g), he is barred from proceeding in forma pauperis.

Currently he is the subject of much media scrutiny and satire. Someone has made a Twitter account using @jonathanlriches on Twitter and others. In August 2010 he filed suit against Julian Assange of Wikileaks.

In January 2011, Riches filed a suit seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent Jared Loughner from being transferred to Federal Medical Center Lexington, alleging that Loughner may wind up as his cellmate and could attempt to murder him for being a moderate Democrat.

In June 2012, Riches filed a lawsuit against Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for being terrorists.

“Manziel sent me a homemade video of himself at Walt Disney World on ‘It’s a Small Word’ ride in the Magic Kingdom, and while the song is on, he puts the camera down unbuttons his pants, pulls his penis out and jingles his penis to the music."

Johnny Manziel's agent rips harassment court filing as 'insanity'

quote:

---

A person has filed for a restraining order against Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel and is seeking $25 million in damages, claiming he has sexually harassed a woman for more than a year.

The document, filed in federal court in Florida on May 16, makes numerous salacious allegations against Manziel centered on him allegedly sending nude photos of himself to a woman. It lists a woman's name on the complaint, but a deputy court clerk in Tampa said the complaint arrived by mail and the court has no way of confirming who sent it. The court clerk, who did not wish to be named, said the filing was mailed in Trenton, N.J.

The document also does not list an attorney, and no other supporting documents could be found in the record in a search by USA TODAY Sports on Friday.

Manziel's agent, Erik Burkhardt, immediately wrote on Twitter that the complaint is "fake" and "frivolous."

"It's insanity," Burkhardt told USA TODAY Sports. "You can read the thing for yourself.

"What some people will do for publicity is just embarrassing. That's all I've got to say."

Later, Burkhardt told USA TODAY Sports it is "absolutely possible" Manziel could seek legal action in response to the court filing, though Manziel's team of representatives is still early in its evaluation process.

"We absolutely will protect our client to the fullest extent of the law," Burkhardt said.

The claim will be dismissed if Manziel is not served according to Darryl C. Wilson, professor at Stetson University College of Law in Tampa Bay.

"If there's no service on the other party, then the lawsuit can't go forward. You don't have a defendant who's been called to court," he said. "You have to have a plaintiff who will go through with the process. Here, there's a question as to who is the plaintiff."

That's not the only reason the claim might quickly disappear. The person who sent it did not pay the $400 fee, said Joseph Little, professor emeritus at the University of Florida's Levin College of Law.

"If there was no fee filed, then it hasn't been properly filed and the court won't pay attention to it," Little told USA TODAY Sports.

If the fee is paid and the complaint not dismissed, the next step would be the filing being assigned to a judge with Manziel being given 20 days to respond once he is served.

"Once the case gets filed, there is nobody — no authority — that can independently review the thing and say it is nonsense and throw it away. They have to follow the usual course," Little said.

He added that there is no requirement for an individual to show proof of identity when filing a suit on their own behalf.

"What the system will do (is) file it as an action by John Doe or Jane Doe against whoever it is, and then the thing will process as long as the conditions are met," Little said. "At some point down the line, it may become evident that the person who filed it was not the person they said they were. That could be basis for dismissing the complaint."

The Cleveland Browns drafted Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M, with the No. 22 pick of the NFL draft May 8.

The team said Friday it had no comment.

The document was filed on May 16 and entered into the court system on Thursday, records show.

USA TODAY Sports attempted Friday to reach the employer, agents and publicist for the woman whose name is listed on the court filing for comment. Her agent had no comment, but on Twitter the woman said the filing was "100% a hoax" as did CNN, whose address was listed for the woman on the complaint.

If he does not, he is headed for a serious arse kicking by someone.

He is also headed for jail if he does not carefully consider his venues. A lot of states have made this sort of thing a crime because members of the sovereign citizen movement have been going around filing frivolous suits and liens against public officials and anyone else that makes them mad.

Edited to add: it is a frivolous waste of public resources, but at least it is a freaking HILARIOUS waste of those resources.
