Would love to see this pinhead get bunk-stomped for wasting taxpayer money. Whatever happened to sanctions for filing frivolous lawsuits?

All the previous lawsuits have been dismissed except one in which he demands access to newspapers and publications.
^ Tells me that he brought this one because he stumbled a valid legal theory.
FRCP Rule 11 wrote:By presenting to the court a pleading, written motion, or other paper — whether by signing, filing, submitting, or later advocating it — an attorney or unrepresented party certifies that to the best of the person's knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances:

(1) it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation;
I imagine it's kinda hard for a court to make this finding for an inmate. Now, maybe the 15 continuances would work, but if he can say, "I'm doing it because I'm bored," I don't know that the Court can sanction him.

'Course, that's the federal rules, and I don't know Florida's.

The one that he "stumbled onto" was summarily dismissed as well. He can have access to any and all publications (within reason) as long as he subscribes / pays for them.

Rule 11 's nebulous language makes me wonder why it exists at all... seems it'd be damn near impossible to prove in any case.

(<-- Fully aware that it's that way on purpose, so as not to unnecessarily deny citizens access to judicial due process.)
