City of Dickinson v. Helgeson

Summary

The Court affirmed the designation of Helgeson as a vexatious litigant and imposed a $500 sanction for fictitious and erroneous citations in his appellate brief. It held the license-plate proceeding was noncriminal, giving the district court authority to apply the vexatious-litigant rule, and concluded the designation was supported by the record and did not violate constitutional or due-process protections.
