Q: My sister has a case at the Ohio Northern District Court and we are wondering how to file for dismissal
She has legally adopted children when the father was sent to jail and the father is now taking her to court for "the wrong of trespass upon my property", "i require and order immediate restoration and return of my property" and trying to sue her for "One dollar for every second in (viz., moment in time); commencing @ 12 P.M. May 20, 2015 until my property is returned, and under the control of, i; a man;". We cannot afford the cost of an attorney and the state says that her household income is too much for her to get pro bono assistance. Is there a way that we can file for a dismissal ourselves, or is there any other way we can try to keep this from actually going to court?
A: Well, that claim makes no sense at all. BS filings on wild legal theories are exactly the sort of nonsense that comes from people representing themselves. This was filed in the federal district court? You can file a motion to dismiss, but you will probably find it difficult to navigate the system on your own. Have you tried contacting the legal aid society?
