Norman v. Reagan, 95 F.R.D. 476 (D. Ore. 1982)
"In this action, Kent © Norman seeks redress of grievances," said the court, noting that "The plaintiff's name apparently includes the copyright sign." The claims include "civil death," parking tickets, and a "claim" that defied characterization:
The birds today
Are singing loudly,
The day is fresh
With the sounds
Upon the wind
The crickets.
The blackbirds
The woodpeckers
Beauty in every
Spark of life
Just So their sounds
Are appreciated
Their sounds are beauty
The ants are silent
But always searching
The birds noise a song
and the fade of the automobile tires
Chirp. A shadow from
a passing monarch butterfly
Breathless in Colorado.
The court mused, "It is possible, of course, that this is not intended as a claim at all, but as a literary artifact." The court ultimately concluded the suit could be dismissed for lack of prosecution.
