January 18, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 302 OPINION AND ORDER re: 293 FIRST MOTION for Permanent Injunction Barring Plaintiff from Filing New Actions Against Defendants. filed by Frank Maucourt, Franck Macourt, Little Rest Twelve, Inc. For the reasons stated above, this case must be dismissed with prejudice. The Court has attempted to shepherd this case to a final disposition on the merits of Plaintiff's claim, at times declining to impose sanctions when they were obviously called for. But every act of indulgenc e toward Plaintiff is also an imposition on Defendants, their counsel, the Court, and the public, each of whom has a compelling interest in the orderly and respectful resolution of this action. There is a limit to what any court should be forced t o endure in the process of adjudicating a litigant's claim and, more importantly, to the tactics our system of justice must countenance. Plaintiff may not use the legal system to harass and disparage Defendants, their counsel, or the Court, an d the Court is convinced that proceeding with a trial in this action would only serve to demean this institution. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT this action is dismissed with prejudice. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan on 1/18/2018) (rj)
