Richie v. American Council on Gift Annuities, 1996 WL 743343 (N.D. Tex.)
The court was responding to a petition for writ of mandamus, so as to keep the appellate court from being misled as to what was really going on.
"If histrionics and hyperbole were an art form, what the petitioners have filed would be a Rembrandt."
The Court noted that the court file was needlessly prolix, with 403 motions, briefs and letters filed in the court. "Many are duplicative. Many do nothing to advance the ball. . . . Yet the paper keeps flowing and the meter keeps running. There are 765 documents filed thus far in the district court and my docket sheet in this case rocks on for 116 pages."
The court said that "From a personal, pragmatic, and selfish standpoint, the granting of a mandamus ordering me to dismiss this case would be a blessing. This black hole of a case sucks up staff and judicial resuorces like no other case I have dealt with."
