PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A woman who filed more than 700 lawsuits
this year has been ordered to stop until she hires a lawyer or
finds a doctor to certify that she is mentally competent.
Brenda Butler Bryant has sued Burger King, the CIA, the
University of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia school board, among
others.
On Tuesday, Senior U.S. District Judge John P. Fullam demanded a
halt to her ``incomprehensible rubbish.''
Fullam said Bryant's handwritten lawsuits contain no complete
sentences. He cited this excerpt from her latest filing:
``Slavemaster Service, B/S Wholesale Club, Lane Bryant, Negro
Services, BBB/KKK/LLL-Linda Lovelace/AAA.''
In all of her cases, Bryant asks for a waiver of the $120 filing
fee, often claiming she was injured in a car accident on Mother's
Day last year.
In February, a judge ruled that court clerks were not required
to send out copies of her lawsuits to those she sued. So she sued
the judge.
Bryant has no telephone listing.
