Federal Judge Dismisses New York City Man’s Lawsuit Over Traumatic $120 Hand Job

A federal judge has dismissed the civil rights lawsuit brought by a New York City man who was seeking $1.8 million in damages from a Las Vegas escort service whose female employee performed an “illegal sexual act” upon him.

In a U.S. District Court order docketed today, Judge Loretta Preska rejected Hubert Blackman’s case, ruling that his “allegations do not suggest a basis for federal jurisdiction” as they did not “draw into question the interpretation or application of federal law.” Blackman, 22, last month filed a pro se lawsuit against Las Vegas Exclusive Personals alleging that his rights were violated (and he suffered mental distress) as a result of a $120 hand job provided by one of the firm’s escorts.

Preska ruled that Blackman, pictured above, failed to “allege to a ‘reasonable probability’ that he has a cognizable claim in excess of $75,000,” the minimum amount needed to qualify for federal jurisdiction. She also noted that Blackman should not have filed his lawsuit in New York, but rather Nevada, where the supposed offense occurred.

In an interview today, Blackman maintained that his case was valid, and said he had already filed an appeal. A check of online court records, however, revealed no record of that filing.

This one will "go down" in history so to speak as the dumbest lawsuit ever.
Of course it was dismissed. What a tool this guy is.
What a jerk-off. Sort of.
