ORDER
Plaintiff,
97-cv-155-bbc
v.
LOS ANGELES RAMS FOOTBALL CO.,
ST. LOUIS RAMS PARTNERSHIP,
NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE PROPERTIES, INC.,
NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE and RODNEY RIGSBY,
Defendants.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rodney Rigsby has filed a motion requesting copies of all documents filed in this
closed case. Dkt. #90. As Rigsby is aware, the files from this case are stored at the Federal
Records Center at the National Archives and Records Administration in Chicago. He states
that he has ordered a few documents from the archives, but that he cannot afford to order
more. He further argues that the court should send him all of the documents from this case
free of charge because he was never properly served with the documents in this case and the
other parties engaged in fraud and other illegal behavior.
I will deny Rigsby’s request. His arguments about inadequate service, fraud, and
other illegal actions come far too late. This case has been closed since 1998 and was
affirmed by the court of appeals in 1999. Rigsby has identified no basis for reopening this
case. If he wants to review case documents, he must request those documents from the
1

archives and pay the required fees.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that Rodney Rigsby’s request for free copies, dkt. #90, is DENIED.
The court will disregard any future documents that Rigsby files in this case.
Entered this 3d day of October, 2019.
