UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION JONATHAN LEE RICHES, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 8:07-cv-1730-T-17TBM

THERESA MARIE SCHINDLER SCHIAVO, MICHAEL SCHIAVO, ROBERT SCHINDLER, MARY SCHINDLER, JENNY CRAIG WEIGHT LOSS CENTERS, Defendants. ORDER This matter is before the Court on the Complaint filed by Plaintiff Jonathan Lee Riches, who is currently incarcerated at FCI Williamsburg. The Complaint is frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Riches has filed several frivolous law suits in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. As to Riches' filings, one United States District Judge stated: It is not clear whether these outlandish pleadings are products of actual mental illness or simply a hobby akin to short story writing. Whatever their origin, and though they are amusing to the average reader, they do nothing more than clog the machinery of justice, interfering with the court's ability to address the needs of the genuinely aggrieved. It is time for them to stop. The Court notes that riches did not pay the filing fee in either of the cases cited here. Rather than impose sanctions, the Court will simply require that he pay the fee with any future complaints. It this requirement fails to dissuade Riches from further meritless filings, the Court will impose stiffer requirements and/or sanctions until Riches finds another way to occupy his time.
