EXCERPT:
Seems Parker, a former paralegal, wrote the complaint himself without
the help of a lawyer, help he clearly needed. Surrick prefaced his
opinion with this little smackdown: “We note preliminarily that
Plaintiff’s Complaint is voluminous, consisting of seventy-two pages
with 291 separate paragraphs of factual averments and legal
allegations. In fact, Plaintiff devotes the first forty-five pages and
129 paragraphs, before any legal claims are stated, to an overview of
the alleged wrongful conduct. Plaintiff’s inclusion of ‘50,000 John
Does’ as defendants further confuses this already unwieldy Complaint.
As a result, this rambling pleading is far from a ’short and plain
statement’ as required by Rule 8(a).”
