Riches v. Williams, 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67446 (W.D. Va. 2007)
A prisoner filed his fourth civil rights action, after the first t hree were dismissed as frivolous. He struck out on the fourth one, too, even though the defendants had done terrible things to him:
Riches names tennis players Venus and Serena Williams, their father Richard Williams, the "U.S. Open," and "poltergeist" as defendants to his action. He claims that defendants Venus and Serena Williams are "reaching through the T.V. set to grab [him] during the U.S. Open," in an "attempted coup of [his] mind." He also alleges that the poltergeist is "roaming our airwaves and CB radio." He states that Richard Williams has had a "beef with [him] since the Nixon era" and that "he still rents summer homes from Randy Weaver." Riches claims that the tennis balls used in the U.S. Open are "electrons and neurons stolen from [his] head." He alleges that the defendants also "took Van Gogh paintings from [him]." He further alleges that Serena Williams "put the knife in Monica Seles shoulder" in 1999 and that he taught Venus Williams how to play table tennis in the county jail in 2004. Finally, he claims that the defendants told him that "they want to eat [his] head for supper" and that they want to "learn identity theft from [him]." As relief, Riches asks the courts to "withdraw the Williams sisters from any more tennis tournaments" and, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 64, "seize U.S. Open tennis balls [and] bring [his] neurons back [to him]."
