    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A VERY BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW – Vivek Shah Declared a Vexatious Litigant (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

And almost none of them ever saw the inside of a courtroom before the plaintiff himself pulled the plug. That’s the résumé a federal judge in Los Angeles was staring at when he decided one man had officially worn out his welcome in the Central District of California.
