We hear stories about frivolous lawsuits that make most citizens cringe. Well, here are the “Top Five Most Frivolous Cases Filed By New York City Prisoners.”
* Francis Hugh Smith claimed New York owed him $10 million because faulty medical care caused amnesia that made him leave his work-release job and forget to return to prison.
* Anthony Malloy sough “$989 billion trillion” because he said prison guards beat up his jacket, which he was not wearing at the time. His case was dismissed.
* Anthony Gill claimed secondhand cigarette smoke from other inmates caused him medical problems — although he buys cigarettes from the prison commissary.
* Jose Reyes wants $1000 because the state made him eat vegetable diet loaf after he violated prison rules. He said he lost 450g.
* Thomas Higgins sued the state for $10,000 because a prison laundry machine broke and he claims a constitutional right to clean clothes and blankets.
