A man who keeps suing people is suing the Guinness Book of World Records for saying that he’s sued the most people ever.

Jonathan Lee Riches, who is currently incarcerated in the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky, is thought to have filed over 4,000 lawsuits around the world against various people, entities, objects and concepts.

In a boldly ironic move, he has now filed a lawsuit against the Guinness Book of World Records, hoping to get an injunction against them naming him as the world’s most litigious man in their 2010 edition. ‘The Guinness Book of World Records have no right to publish my work, my legal masterpieces,’ he says in the legal filing, according to The Spokesman-Review.



He is also unhappy about the nicknames they apparently plan to ascribe to him, including ‘Sue-per-man’, ‘the duke of lawsuits’ and ‘Johnny Sue-nami’.

Previous targets of his legal ire have included George W. Bush, Che Guevara, Perez Hilton, the Eiffel Tower, Britney Spears, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party, Google, the Roman Empire, The Queen, the Magna Carta, the Wu-Tang Clan, Plato, Emilio Estevez and Nordic Gods.

Riches has been banned from filing suits in many jurisdictions. His latest legal foray was filed in the court of Judge Justin Quackenbush, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. Judge Quackenbush dismissed Riches’ previous suit, against the Peanut Corp. of America, in February, warning him that he may be banned from filing in that court too.

Riches is currently serving time for wire fraud, but could be released by 2012.
