one of the associates is dealing with a pro se plaintiff who was a lawyer in his native country (I think Uganda). Plaintiff lost his case a full five years ago and is still litigating it. It's been in the state appellate court a couple of times where he of course lost each appeal and now he's back filing a motion in a state court. Every time he files a motion he adds a few more cites to the C.P.L.R. (Civil Practice Law and Rules) He will not let it go.
