Now comes, STEPHEN R. LILLEY, pro se, who asserts this complaint to redress the deprivation of rights, liberties, and immunities secured to the Plaintiff under the Constitution and laws of the United States of America and the State of Ohio. This complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and damages for the violation of the Plaintiff’s rights as protected by the First, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution, and as protected under Ohio state law.

The plaintiff, a Pro se» litigant, in pursuit of what is defined in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures 8(f) as substantial justice, takes steps to make the Court aware of the following:

The courts provide pro se parties wide latitude when construing their pleadings and papers. When interpreting pro se papers, the Court should use common sense to determine what relief the party desires.

Pro se litigants’ Court submissions are to be construed liberally and held to less stringent standards that submissions of lawyers. If the court can reasonably read the submission, it should do so despite failure to cite proper legal authority, confusion of legal theories, poor syntax and sentence construction, or litigant’s unfamiliarity with rule requirements.
