(nj) Sued For The Same Thing 3 Times

Location: New Jersey

Hi everyone, so I have a former landlord/stalker who I have had a restraining order against for the last 2 years now because he tried to break into my room, harassed me, and more that I won’t get into. He has repeatedly sued me now 3 times for the same thing, alleging that my dog bit him (which is not true as I was present for the encounter where he was bitten by his own dog). He doesn’t have my address so he keeps sending them addressed to me with his own address, but I’m getting notified via email.

The first time he sued for $5000, I didn’t see the notice and he didn’t show up so it was thrown out but then he sued for $20,000 with the exact same complaint just with the higher amount demanded. I showed up to court prepared, he didn’t show up and it was ruled in my favor. He’s now suing again for $20,000 with the exact same complaint.

I don’t want to keep having to pay filing fees and I want to move on from this incredibly traumatizing chapter of my life.

What can I do? Do I just keep having to respond and showing up to court forever or can I have these thrown out somehow?
