TN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA 

RICHARD C. LUSSY, 

Plaintiff and Appellant, 

vs . 

J. MICHAEL YOUNG, 

Defendant and Respondent. 

JAN 24 1985 

OPINION, ORDER AND JUDGMENT 

Richard C. Lussy a.ppea1.s from an order cf the District 

Court, Third Judicial District, Deer Lodge County, the Hon. 

Henry Loble presiding, from an order dismissing Lussy ' s 

complaint against J. Michael Young. 

The only issue on appeal is the propriety of the 

District Court's dismissal of Lussy's compl-aj-nt aga.inst J. 

Michael Young. 

In cause no. DV-84-72 in the same District Court, 

Richard C. Lussy sued John Conway Harrison, John C. Sheehy, 

Fred J. Weber and L. C. Gulhrandson as individuals, without 

reference to their judicial positions, in a complaint filed 

in Deer Lodge County. J. Michael Young, a state employee, 

appeared as attorney for the named indivj-dual defendants in 

that action and brought about an order of the District Court 

to dismiss the action against the said individuals. 

Lussy then sued J. Michael Young in the District Court, 

Deer Lodge County in cause no. DT7-84-93, on the grounds that 

Young had represented the individuals in the action, that 
this was improper and that he was guilty of conspiracy, 

improper official actions, and abuse of the principle of 

"justinhoard." 

In the District Court, Judge Loble dismissed the 

complaint. against Young, saying i.n his order of August 22, 

"The gist of plaintiff's rambling, uncomprehensible 

complaint seems to be that the defendant 

represented private, non-governmental clients in 

his capacity as an empl-oyee of state government. 

However, plaintiff attached to his complaint a 

motion to dismiss and memorandum in support of 

motion to dismiss in Cause No. DV 84 72 in the 

District Court of Deer Lodge County, &d?i!@aefendants 

of that action were four Montana State Supreme 

Court Justices. The defendant in this case acted 

as lawyer for the defendant justices in the earlier 

action. Mr. Young clearly defended the action 

against the justices on the basis that they were 

being sued for an act in discharge of a duty 

associated with judicial actions of the Court. An 

allegation that Young represented the justices as 

private individuals when the attached exhibits 

showed he represented them in their judicial 

capacities sets forth no cause of action." 

Although four justices on this Court are indirectly 

involved in this action in that the attorney, J. Michael 

Young, had represented them, and is now being sued for that 

representation, we see no confl-ict of interest in recognizing 

in Lussy's present compIa.i.nt and appeal a fruitless, 

weightless, needless, senseless action. The a.ppea1, as was 

the action in the District Court, is frivol-ous and as such 

This cause is another of a series of proceedings brought 

by Lussy in both state and federal courts in which he has 

imputed i-ncompetence, bias and conspiracy against judges and 

parties involved in his actions, and he has subjected the 

judicia.1 process to denigration. 
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED: 

1. The appeal of Richard C. Lussy from the judgment of 

dismissal of cause no. DV-84-93, in the District Court, Deer 

Lodge County, be and the same is hereby dismissed. 

2. Richard C. Lussy is assessed costs in the sum of 

$250.00 payable to the Clerk of this Court for deposit in the 

State Treasury of the State of Fontana as past reimbursement 

to the State for the unnecessary expense and time he has 

taken of state officials. 

3. The Cl-erk of this Court is directed to mail a 

certified copy of this Order to the Clerk of the District 

Court in and for the Third LTudicial District, Deer Jtodge 

County. Such copy of this order and judgment shall be and 

serve the office of a judgment for costs against Richard C. 

Lussy znd entitled to all of the lien protection of a 

judgment. Such judgment shall be docketed i.n the District 

Court under the cause file number from which the appeal 

arose. 

4. Copy to of record, and to Richard C. Lussy.
