Loughner is serving seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years, for the Jan. 8, 2011 shooting that killed six people and wounded 13, including Giffords.
His lawsuit, which seeks $25 million in damages, was filed in the U.S. District Court of Arizona on Friday, March 18.

KOLD reported Loughner's two-page court filingclaims he was "framed" and was "handpicked illegally to be a sleeper assassin." He says that "the govt. put a chip in my head to control my mind."
The rambling complaint alleges "Gabby Giffords never got shot, it was all an act, Giffords watches Ronald Reagan movies and pretened (sic) she was hit." Loughner refers to "the Illuminati," which he claims Giffords is a member of, and says he is being subjected to "microwave testing" and waterboarding "on defendant's direct orders."
He also complains about the food in prison and that his "water has fluoride that defendants plant parasites in my water, and feed me aspartame by Monsanto."
Loughner agreed to a plea deal in 2012 and pleaded guilty to 19 federal charges in the shooting. The agreement guaranteed that the 24-year-old would spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Both sides reached the agreement after a judge declared that Loughner was able to understand the charges against him. After the shooting, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and underwent forcible psychotropic drug treatments.
Documents released by the FBI in 2014 showLoughner was unraveling in the months before the rampage, issuing paranoid, expletive-filled Internet rants about government conspiracies, suicide and killing police, according to new law enforcement documents.
