I know someone who was declared a vexacious litigant in California. She can no longer file suits. (From wikipedia: Vexatious litigation is legal action which is brought, regardless of its merits, solely to harass or subdue an adversary. It may take the form of a primary frivolous lawsuit or may be the repetitive, burdensome, and unwarranted filing of meritless motions in a matter which is otherwise a meritorious cause of action.)
Some countries have vexacious litigation laws, but apparently the US doesn't.

Frivolous lawsuit penalties?
Sure we do. Clockboy’s lawsuit was tossed out and he was ordered to pay atty fees.
