If You Don't Pay Your Filing Fees, Frank Easterbrook Will Eat Your Children

Ok, maybe not, but he will enjoin all pending litigation you've got going until you pay up.

Prince Foryoh was arrested for telephone harassment (although I have to imagine that's the tip of the iceberg) and, like any good guilty criminal, appealed like hell and filed 1983's against all the officers. He tried to proceed in forma pauperis, that request was granted, but then the district court judge sniffed out our pseudo-royal hero's plan:

In another of Foryoh’s suits, his mother gave testimony to the effect that she provides about 90% of his support—including meals, car, college tuition, textbooks, and housing. Foryoh concedes that his mother has provided (and continues to provide) financial support but insists that she is extending loans rather than making gifts. That is not how his mother characterized things, but like the district judge we need not resolve this intrafamilial dispute. Foryoh did not report the value of these “loans” on his affidavit and other filings. In response to a question whether he had received more than $200 from any source in the preceding year, Foryoh neglected to mention his mother’s assistance. So his application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis had a material omission and may well have been perjurious.

So, basically, Prince is a baby, and he can't make any more frivolous lawsuits until he pays the filing fees of an undisclosed amount for the claims that he lied about. He might actually prefer that Easterbrook eat his first born.
