Senior U.S. District Judge John E. Steele is officially done with the international paper trail from Joey Camp.
In a new order from the Middle District of Florida, the court made it clear that being a professional meddler has its consequences. Camp isn’t a party to the Noshirvan v. Couture lawsuit, but he’s been busy stuffing the docket with motions anyway. The judge noticed that while Camp wants to be heard, he can’t even provide a real mailing address.
The court revealed that mail sent to Camp on April 1, 2, and 3 was all returned to sender. It turns out the Denver address he gave the court isn’t actually where he lives. Judge Steele pointed out that Camp isn’t entitled to any help from the court and the clerk isn’t going to keep wasting stamps on a fake address. Because of this, the judge isn’t just ignoring the latest Colombian filing, he’s actively wiping it from the record.
The order officially strikes the request for judicial notice regarding that Colombian Tutela action. It also labels Camp as a restricted filer. From now on, any future attempts he makes to dump documents into this case’ll be rejected immediately. The clerk’ll just make a note that something was received and then destroy the document without even filing it on the docket.
It’s a pretty embarrassing end for a guy who claimed his foreign paperwork was highly probative. He went through all the trouble of getting Colombian court orders and FBI background checks only to have a federal judge tell him his documents belong in the paper shredder. If Camp wants to play lawyer in Florida, he might want to start by figuring out how mail works. For now, he’s locked out of the courtroom and his kitchen sink’s in the trash.
