Re: Who says judges are out of touch?

Actually, here's another favorite of mine:

WASHINGTON, vs. ALAIMO, 934 F. Supp. 1395 (S.D. Ga. 1996)

http://www.choof.org/news/kissmyass.txt

In case you don't feel like reading the whole thing, here's a highlight:

On April 5, 1996, this Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why this Court should not impose
Rule 11 sanctions upon him for filing a motion for improper purposes. The motion which Plaintiff
filed was entitled "Motion to Kiss My Ass" (Doc. 107) in which he moved "all Americans at large
and one corrupt Judge Smith [to] kiss my got [sic] damn ass sorry mother fucker you."
...

Since his commitment to the state prison system, Plaintiff has become a frequent litigant within
the federal courts seeking relief through the auspices of 42 U.S.C. ? 1983. The Clerk of Court
for the Superior Court of Chatham County has also informed this Court that Plaintiff is
frequently suing for various forms of relief through the state court system as well. What
distinguishes Plaintiff from most prisoner litigants in federal courts is that he pays his filing
fee rather than submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis under the provisions of 28
U.S.C. ? 1915. It has come to the attention of this Court that Plaintiff's litigation practice
is largely, if not entirely, underwritten by the Federal Treasury as he periodically receives a
substantial check for veterans' disability benefits. By paying his filing fee, Plaintiff has thus
far avoided the filter of the 28 U.S.C. ? 1915(d) frivolity review. As a result, patently
frivolous lawsuits have languished in this district longer than would otherwise be warranted with
other prisoner litigants.

Plaintiff has shown in his dealings with the courts in this District that he lacks the ability or
will to govern his suits with the civility and order required by the Local Rules and by the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. He has wasted the time of many an innocent party and he has
flippantly used the resources of the judiciary with his abusive motions filing practice.

In Matthew Washington v. Bobby Whitworth, et al., 6:91cv87, this Court's experience with
Plaintiff began. In that case, Plaintiff filed the Complaint on November 8, 1991, and soon
commenced his motion filings practice. In February 1992, he moved to change venue. Then, he
initiated the trademark of his practice: the Motion to Amend Complaint. He moved to amend his
complaint on March 6, 1992, on April 15, 1992, and on December 14, 1992. After a couple
allowances of amendment, Judge Dudley H. Bowen, Jr., began denying Plaintiff's motions to amend.
Soon thereafter he moved to disqualify Judge Bowen and began filing "Extraordinary Motions to
Amend" including one which desired to add the United States Secret Service as a party.

Plaintiff began filing frivolous motions on a weekly basis and, in that relatively simple civil
rights lawsuit, he ended up filing more than seventy-five pleadings, all of which required the
considered attention of this Court and Judge Bowen. These motions included "Motion to Behoove an
Inquisition" and "Motion for Judex Delegatus" and "Motion for Restoration of Sanity" and "Motion
for Deinstitutionalization". In one instance, he indicated the recreational tilt of his
litigation when he filed a "Motion for Publicity" regarding a trial which had been set for March
23, 1995, in Statesboro. At the time of trial, Plaintiff filed a "Motion to Vacate Jurisdiction"
which was denied. Even after judgment as a matter of law was entered against him at the trial,
Plaintiff did not perceive his case as complete. He renewed the filing of "Extraordinary Motions
to Amend" and filed his appeals, fees paid, with the United States Court of Appeals for the
Eleventh Circuit.

After one year of motions filing after the case had been closed, this Court ordered Plaintiff to
quit submitting motions in a closed case and directed the Clerk to return to Plaintiff any
further pleading filed by him. Plaintiff "one-upped" the Clerk when he filed a Notice of Appeal
from that order; the notice, of course, had to be placed in the case file.

In Matthew Washington v. James T. Morris, et al., 4:93cv114, Plaintiff set out to sue a host of
individuals, including the Superior Court judge who presided over his the Hodgson murder trial
and the attorney who defended him in that trial. Plaintiff filed the complaint on May 20, 1993,
and sought to amend it on June 7, 1993, July 21, 1993, July 23, 1993, November 2, 1993, November
5, 1993, December 14, 1993, December 22, 1993, January 23, 1995, March 2, 1995, March 29, 1995,
and on October 20, 1995. At least one of these Motions to Amend sought to add Magistrate Judge
James E. Graham as a party defendant. Plaintiff filed fifty-four pleadings in that case, all of
which required the considered attention of Judge Anthony A. Alaimo or Magistrate Graham. The
motions ranged from the mundane, such as "Motion for Change of Venue", to the arcane, such as
"Motion for Cesset pro Cessus" and "Motion for Judex Delegatus", to the curious, such as "Motion
for Nunc pro Tunc" and "Motion for Psychoanalysis", to the outlandish, such as "Motion to Impeach
Judge Alaimo" and "Motion to Renounce Citizenship" and "Motion to Exhume Body of Alex Hodgson".
Plaintiff also filed numerous interlocutory appeals, which required the attention and utilization
of the resources of the Court of Appeals. The case was disposed of on the pleadings in
Defendants' favor. Plaintiff has filed an appeal.

Plaintiff's other cases in this district demonstrate that his litigation practice continues with
the same themes as described above. In Matthew Washington v. Dr. Joseph H. Owens, Jr., 6:94cv39,
Plaintiff filed some ten motions to amend, moved to disqualify the undersigned judge, and also
expressed his contempt for the undersigned judge by filing a "Motion to Invoke and Execute Rule
15--Retroactive Note: The Court's School Days are Over". This Court dismissed Plaintiff's
complaint upon motion by the Defendant. The case currently is on appeal. In Matthew Washington v.
Ronald Fountain, et al., 6:94cv120, Plaintiff has already filed thirteen motions to amend,
including one which sought to add President Clinton as a party. Plaintiff also sought to
disqualify the undersigned judge and again invoked the mysterious "Rule 15". The case has been
reassigned to Chief Judge B. Avant Edenfield and is still pending.
In the instant case, Plaintiff has sued all of the judges and one magistrate judge from this
District as well as one judge and one magistrate judge from the Middle District of Georgia.

Plaintiff also unsuccessfully tried to join Judge Michael Karpf of the Superior Court of Chatham
County and United States Senator Sam Nunn. His five motions to amend are overshadowed by the
"Motion to Kiss My Ass" which Plaintiff filed (apparently to express his frustration with
Magistrate Judge G.R. Smith's refusal to allow the addition of Judge Karpf and Senator Nunn).
This case has been pending less than one year and already Plaintiff has filed three interlocutory
appeals. Likewise, in Matthew Washington v. R.D. Collins, et al., 6:95cv113, Plaintiff has
already filed three frivolous interlocutory appeals in a case which is only several months old. n1
n1 Most of Plaintiff's appeals to the Eleventh Circuit are dismissed for either lack of
jurisdiction or for lack of brief in support of appeal.

In Matthew Washington v. Dr. Joseph H. Owens, 6:95cv14, Plaintiff has filed a "Motion for Skin
Change Operation" in which he desired the government to fund a sex change for him. When
Magistrate Judge W. Leon Barfield denied the motion, Plaintiff filed a "Motion to Impeach" the
magistrate. He also unsuccessfully sought to add the undersigned judge as a party defendant.

In another case which had been originally filed in the Northern District of Georgia, 6:96cv54,
Plaintiff sued the same judges as in this case and also added Ted Turner of CNN International for
good measure: "Mr. Turner, a fellow Georgian, is and has violated the 'Free Press' of which he
'supposedly stands' with his cartel and CBS endeavors to do the same." Recently, he filed a
"Motion for Catered Food Services" in which he complained about the prison food and moved for a
court order allowing him to "receive catered food from some credible responsible business
establishment preferred and paid for by Plaintiff."

...

This Court is quite sure that, if the villagers who heard the boy cry "wolf" one times too many
had some form of reassurance that the boy's last cry was sincere, they would have responded
appropriately and he would be alive instead of being dinner for the ravenous canine. If anything,
that story teaches that repetitious tomfoolery can result in disaster for the knave. This Court
will not turn a deaf ear to Plaintiff's future cries. However, it will require Plaintiff to
structure his pleas for help in a more sincere manner so that the energies of the villagers are
not wasted on the repeated runs up the grassy hill atop which the mischievous boy sits laughing.
SO ORDERED, this 17th day of May, 1996.
WILLIAM T. MOORE, JR.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
