Filings

A Michigan federal magistrate judge has banned a lawyer from using a cartoon
dragon watermark on legal filings, calling the practice "juvenile and
impertinent." Judge Ray Kent of the Western District of Michigan issued the
order on April 28 after receiving a complaint featuring a purple, suit-
wearing dragon on every page. "Each page of plaintiff's complaint appears on
an e-filing which is dominated by a large multi-colored cartoon dragon
dressed in a suit," Kent wrote. "The Court is not a cartoon." The watermark
belongs to Jacob A. Perrone of Dragon Lawyers, who told The New York Times he
purchased the image online for $20 because "people like dragons." Perrone
said it plans to continue using the logo in his practice but will tone it
down in future court submissions.
