Prasad v. Chesterfield County Doc. 16 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Richmond Division SUNDARIK.PRASAD, ri ERK RICHMOND^ U.S. DISTRICT GOURl Plaintiff, V. Civil Action No.3:17CV203 CHESTERFIELD COUNTY,et aL, Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION Sundari K. Prasad, a Virginia inmate proceeding pro se, submitted this action. For the reasons set forth below, the action will be dismissed for Prasad's failure to follow the directives of the Court. I. Prasad's Historv of Abusive Litigation During the last two years Prasad has submitted over fifty civil actions. Prasad's actions have been dismissed as frivolous and malicious, or for failure to state a claim, or because she has failed to follow the directives of the Court. Prasad's many actions have strained the resources of the Court. Litigants have an obligation to '"Stop, Think,Investigate and Research' before filing papers either to initiate a suit or to conduct the litigation." Gaiardo v. Ethyl Corp., 835 F.2d 479, 482(3d Cir. 1987). Prasad has ignored this obligation and flooded the Court with her inchoate claims for relief. Additionally, Prasad has engaged in a consistent pattern of disregarding the directives of the Court. For example, the Court has informed Prasad that she may not tack on allegations or defendants to a complaint through partial amendments, but must file a comprehensive amended complaint. Prasad has ignored that directive. Moreover, because of the nature of her rambling complaints, it has been necessary for the Court to direct Prasad to file a particularized complaint Dockets.Justia.com
