Various federal and state courts have labeled a particular serial plaintiff as a “vexatious litigant,” a designation to prevent frivolous lawsuits from overburdening the courts.  “It’s not a matter of these actions being annoying or inconvenient to the court,” the Idaho Supreme Court says.  “It’s just a matter of protecting other people’s access to the courts, so the courts aren’t tied up with just one person’s matter.”
