Original Complaint

The original complaint can be found here.

Plaintiff Pro Se has deliberately elected to bring the instant civil action in state court to avoid procedural problems that might arise if this action was originally initiated in the federal court.

This civil “Section 1983” action is brought before this Florida State court pursuant to Maine v. Thibotout, 448 U.S. 1, 100 S. Ct. 2502 (1980) (State courts are required to accept jurisdiction of “Section 1983” civil rights complaints). See also, Howlett v. Rose, 496 U.S. 356, 378, n. 20, 110 S. Ct. 2430 (1990) (“virtually every state has expressly, or by implication, opened its doors to Section 1983 civil rights complaints, and there are no state court systems that refuse to hear section 1983 actions”).
