James Bond (Illinois) has had one martini shaken not stirred too many at a bar in Houston and begins to slur his speech and wobble. Seeing him belt out a song about how the world is not enough, Boris Grishenko (Texas), a police officer, swoops in and arrests Bond for public intoxication. On the ride to the police station, Grishenko stops by the office of the SPECTRE Times and calls out for a reporter to see Bond, and calls him a habitual drunk in the impromptu interview. When Bond becomes unruly and angry after the characterization, Grishenko drenches Bond with his special Goldeneye water gun, which ruins Bond's expensive suit. Bond sues Grishenko for a violation of civil rights in federal court under 28 U.S.C. §1983, a federal statute, and seeks $50,000 in damages. He also brings a $25,000 state law defamation claim.
