Pro Se Litigant of the Day: Julio Mora
What is it about Florida that causes its lawyers and litigants to misbehave so egregiously? Just last week, the Florida Supreme Court sanctioned colorful attorney Jack Thompson. And now they've expressed their displeasure (PDF) with pro se litigant Julio Mora.
What did Mr. Mora do to upset the court? From its opinion:
Mora has filed pro se pleadings containing scandalous and obscene language. Specifically, in his “Petition to Inhibit Jurisdiction From this Very Supreme Court of Injustice,” Mora maintained that through its show cause proceedings with DOC, the Court has proven itself “to be a pack of incompetent cowards, without balls, testicles, courage or valor.” Further, Mora urged this Court to"take this case and the ultimate decision, if ever, and please shovel it to the chief justice and every other justice’s a**hole, in order to have a common place to store the justices’ crap, together with the justice crap from their’s mind, properly disposed through the sewer system, in order to prevent the contaminants to reach the citizen of Florida, and also kiss Julio Mora’s the idiot seeking justice, kiss his a**hole every time the justice will retire going to their den. . . . Please kiss my a** one more time."
The court declined to grant Mora the requested relief. Instead, it sanctioned him, directing the clerk of court to reject any future filings from Mora "unless signed by a member of The Florida Bar."
In a court of law, it's the parties who do the ass-kissing -- not the judges.

In a court of law, it's the parties who do the ass-kissing; the judges are responsible only for the ass-kickings.
Go FL judges!
I bet this guy went to Miami. Probably became upset after failing the bar 4 times and never finding a job.
Remind me again what TTT this fool went to? Can he even spell "past" with a 't' in it?
Yet another reason (as if we needed more) to deny prisoners any access to the legal system.
Is that a pro-se petition by Linda Greenhouse ?
A Gator graphic? Come on Lat! You know this is UM or FSU material...
3:44 - FSU does not have spanish folks, only hot girls and guys trying to bang the hot girls. Most likely UM grad, or maybe Nova (did you see how well they did in the rankings?)
My favorite part is his anger at the court's lack of valor. Come on, Florida Supreme Court, where's your valor?!
the dude is in jail, apparently for murder. in the decision it says the only case he ever won was on appeal from a death sentence.
Lat knows my name.
Slight correction to the above post.
Stetson Law> FSU Law> UM Law > Nova Law > Barry Law > Coastal Law > UF Law
How many people each year transfer from Stetson to FSU?

Enough said.
I think 6:21 was being just a tad sarcastic.
Really, 9:48. This is like competing in a "world's tallest midget" competition . . .
Lat,
You must lose the Gator graphic ... would you slap a NYU logo on a story about a pro se litigant in the City? I think not ...

9:48 -
That is only a money issue. If both schools had the same tuition, FSU would have no students.
LOL at FSU grads trying to say that FSU Law > UF Law (or anything else). That's rich.
Seriously, when you're trashing Stetson, it's time to walk away.
Also, Lat, as others have noted, this story has nothing to do with UF.
For the people saying FSU > UF, it's gonna suck when a Gator Law grad beats you out for a job and you get smacked by the reality that although there might not be much a difference academically, there is a HUGE difference in reputation in the state.
I've got to add my voice to this - the Gator graphic makes absolutely no sense. Must mean that Lat doesn't understand that displaying a mascot suggests that the person actually went to that school.
