Jim Couri's brother, John A. Couri, businessman and philanthropist, has described in court papers Jim's "vicious, defamatory and false statements against an almost limitless number of persons and entities."

• "No individual should be permitted, as James [Couri] has done in this case, to use and abuse the Courts by pro se commencement of litigation reasserting claims repeatedly released or adjudicated, and, in the context of those proceedings, to make vicious, defamatory and false statements against an almost limitless number of persons and entities. I, my wife, our child, and my business and professional associates must be spared this relentless annoyance and expense." Written by Jim's brother John Couri in a sworn affidavit filed in United States District Court Southern District of New York, 92 Civ. 2991 (CLB).
