Green v. CamperGreen v. Camper
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On March 21, 1979, plaintiff, Clovis Carl Green, Jr., a Missouri state prisoner who is currently confined in the Missouri State Penitentiary at Jefferson City on a state conviction of forcible rape, provisionally filed in forma pauperis a complaint under the Civil Rights Act of 1871,
Following the provisional filing of this case in forma pauperis, it was referred in ordinary course to Magistrate Richard Ralston for processing in accordance with the provisions of
Review of the complaint reveals that as his grounds for relief inmate Green in a very broad and conclusionary fashion asserts (1) that while in a protective unit of the penitentiary on March 9, 1979, he was given only three sheets of paper and two envelopes three times a week, thus denying him access to the courts;
1
(2) that he received a violation report for “out of bounds” in a kitchen area of the penitentiary which was not so marked with signs; (3) that the prison policy and practice on violation report disciplinary hearings “is unconstitutional because the Adjustment Board” “. . . failed to give an adequate state
In an objective and painstaking manner Magistrate Ralston fully discussed each of these contentions in his twenty-four page report and found them “frivolous” and “malicious” under § 1915(d) of 28 U.S.C. The undersigned Judge has carefully reviewed the entire case file and Judge Ralston’s Report
2
and Recommendation and finds that it is correct. The Court further finds that (1) inmate Green’s contentions are duplicative of other contentions he has made in other cases he has filed in the federal court; that (2) his claims are frivolous under
The above statement concerning inmate Green’s premeditated effort to prevent the Court from processing its docket is solidly supported by inmate Green’s previous filings and statements that he has made in his pleadings, letters and other documents.

Since July 1,1979, inmate Green has filed additional cases, including the instant case, bringing his total filings to over five hundred cases. This he has done in spite of being enjoined November 1, 1976, from being a writ writer for other inmates. Even the injunction has not deterred inmate Green. His deliberate violation of that injunction by his numerous legal activities for other inmates has twice resulted in his conviction for criminal contempt of Court. See,
In The Matter of the Alleged Contumacious Conduct of Clovis Carl Green, Jr.,
As stated by the Magistrate in his present Report and Recommendation, “Aside from the sheer quantity of plaintiff’s litigation, the quality of his claims also demonstrate the maliciousness of the legal actions which he has initiated against prison officials, court personnel and judicial officers. For example, in the cases styled
Clovis Carl Green, Jr. v. Donald Wyrick, et al.,
Civil Action No. 77-315 CV-C (W.D. Mo.), and
Clovis Carl Green, Jr. v. Missouri Board of Probation and Parole, et al.,
Civil Action No. 77-4306 CV-C (W.D.Mo.), plaintiff alleged that prison disciplinary actions had been and were continuing to be, initiated against him by prison officials, resulting in his confinement in segregated units in retaliation for his legal activities and for his attempts to proselytize on behalf of his newly-founded ‘religion’. After a full three-day evidentiary hearing, at which petitioner was represented by able counsel, appointed by the Court, it was clearly evident that ‘in each instance of disciplinary action shown . . ., petitioner [had] not been disciplined for his legal activities, but rather for clear violations of prison rules and regulations.’
Id.
(Unpublished Report and Recommendation of May 10, 1978). And a later evidentiary hearing set in those cases, the purpose of which was to adjudicate plaintiff’s ‘religious’ claims, was aborted by his dismissal of those actions. Another evidentiary hearing, set in the cause styled
Clovis Carl Green, Jr. v. Donald Wyrick,
Civil Action No. 78-4216 CV-C (W.D. Mo.), to determine his claim that other inmates and prison supervisory personnel had
“ ‘[N]o one, rich or poor, is entitled to abuse the judicial process.’
Hardwick v. Brinson,
Additionally illustrative of inmate Green’s intent to “swamp” the Court with frivolous actions are the following excerpts from some of his pleadings and letters: From inmate Green’s July 23, 1979, Motion for a Jury Trial in the instant case, “Now the Prisoners’ Law Collective has been formed under the sponsorship of the Human Awareness Universal Life Church. 6 The goal and aim of the P. L. C. . is to encourage inmates to file many court suits against the prison, parole board and State. This plaintiff (Green) will assist the inmates in the state courts, and other ‘jail house attorneys’ will prepare the court suits in this Western District of Missouri. Hopefully, the number of court suits will double in the next six months, then double again in the following six months. If possible, we would like to have 4 or 5 times as many court actions filed in the next years as has been filed in the past! At the present time, without the legal aid of this plaintiff, more than 100 inmate church members are preparing civil rights court suits to be filed in this Court very soon — and then each one will continue filing more court suits very often . . . .”
Within the past several weeks in a “letter” to the Clerk of this Court inmate Green stated, “I would like to ask your office to mail 3 sets of court forms for civil rights complaints to each of the 77 inmates” (named). * * * “The reason that these inmates would need 3 sets of court forms is that each inmate plans to prepare and then submit 3 civil rights complaints to this court for the violation of their constitutional rights by prison officers. The Council of Elders has decided that it is the duty of each inmate member of this Church to start filing civil rights complaints individually, and/or class actions, to bring judicial attack of the prison officials’ violation of the constitutional rights of inmates.” * * * “Each inmate plans to file about 3 separate civil rights complaints upon receipt of the court forms, and then file additional civil rights suits each month . . . .”
Inmate Green has not been content to personally and through “church” action advance his desire to prevent the federal court
All of the above is reflective of but some of the nearly innumerable acts of inmate Green deliberately designed to totally frustrate the judicial process and to obtain his release from the State Penitentiary. Literally scores of other such acts of similar design could be added to this opinion but the above should suffice to make it clear that inmate Green not only has but continues to take almost daily actions intended to so abuse the judicial process as to make it impossible for the United States District Court, Western District of Missouri, to process its docket. As earlier indicated, inmate Green’s activities have not been limited to this Court. Other courts, including the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court, also have come within his orbit.
The Magistrate’s Report and Recommendation that leave to proceed in forma pauperis be withdrawn and that this cause be dismissed as frivolous and malicious under the provisions of
As stated in earlier opinions of this Court, unless the Courts of this nation are to be deemed to be powerless to stop such a flagrant abuse of the judicial process, one man will be able to preempt so much judicial time at the trial and appellate levels as to thwart the very ability of the judicial system to carry out its necessary judicial function of properly processing its criminal and civil docket of cases filed by other litigants who may have meritorious matters.
The Magistrate is directed that until further order of Court, in all pending actions and in all future actions filed by inmate Green in the United States District Court, Western District of Missouri, which are or may be referred to the Magistrate, the Magistrate is first to address the question as to whether or not the action appears to be in furtherance of inmate Green’s bad faith efforts to deluge this Court with frivolous or malicious proceedings contrary to
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Notes
. Inmate Green has been making this contention and the contention he lacks stamps for mailing pleadings, but the record shows he weekly files innumerable papers, suits, letters and other material to this and other courts.
. The Magistrate’s Report details inmate Green’s previous filings on these five alleged grounds. Suffice it to say, inmate Green has had his day in Court on all his allegations that are not so general as to be meaningless.
. These five hundred plus cases do not include any of the uncounted hundreds of cases inmate Green has filed under the name of or ostensibly on behalf of other inmates. While he is enjoined from writ writing in the Western District of Missouri, he continues to engage in writ writing in other jurisdictions.

According to him, no one of its “members” can file any litigation without his consent. Other correspondence and pleadings of inmate Green make it clear that he is the “church”.
