Riccard v. Prudential Insurance Co.
15 Fla. L. Weekly Fed. C1093 (M.D. Fla. September 24, 2002)
Plaintiff formerly worked in sales with Prudential. He was forced to take both short and long term disability during the course of his employment. Multiple lawsuits were filed on the former employees behalf raising claims of disability discrimination, etc. A baseless Rule 11 motion was filed in bad faith by the plaintiff and the trial court imposed $10,000 in sanctions. The trial court also held the plaintiff in contempt for continued filings with state agencies in violation of a court order that required the plaintiff to seek leave before making any other filings or motions. The appellate court revered the dismissal of a retaliation claim because it was not time barred and remanded the hefty sanctions for reconsideration.
