Buena Vista man's bizarre federal lawsuit claims Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush following him through 'computer chip inhabitation'

A Buena Vista, Ga., man has filed a bizarre lawsuit seeking $10 million in damages from the federal government, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President George W. Bush.

Wilbur Jolly, 41, claims he's entitled to the relief because his "ID" has been used by the United States without his consent; a credit report erroneously showed he's been employed by the federal government; he can't get a job or start a business because his identification is being used without permission; and the defendants allegedly are following him through "computer chip inhabitation."

In addition to his complaint, filed last month in U.S. District Court in Columbus without an attorney, Jolly also submitted 14 hand-written motions seeking various forms of relief. Among other things, he requested a court order allowing him to carry a concealed weapon, claiming "any man has the right to bear arms" during a time of war.

Another motion seeks to compel the identity of a man who supposedly showed Jolly a computer as he was leaving Best Buy.

U.S. Magistrate Stephen Hyles denied the motions in an eight-page opinion and recommended the complaint be dismissed as frivolous.

"Plaintiff provides no details of events giving rise to any of the motions, no supporting brief for any motion, and no legal reasoning or analysis to explain why any of these motions should be granted or how this Court would have jurisdiction to grant such motions," Hyles wrote.
