Jim Dimov was named a “vexatious litigant” although he had been involved in ONLY ONE PREVIOUS LITIGATION. The quality of his “legal craftsmanship” was not up to the standards of Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Robert H. O’Brien (In the matter of Jim Dimov, case number BP 008800 (1993)).
On March 10, 2000, represented by attorney Gary Coutin (himself a victim of the statute), Mr. Dimov filed COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (Dimov v. United States District Court for the Central District of California, case number 00-02590) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California challenging the constitutionality of District Court Local Rule 27a, which incorporates or permits the incorporation of California’s “vexatious litigant” statute as part of the federal rules of court.
