<p>DOYLESTOWN &#8212; An eastern Pennsylvania man who filed more than 30 lawsuits claiming to be severely injured is heading to prison for perjury after he was found doing maintenance on his house.</p><p>Sixty-year-old James George Douris was sentenced to one to 23 months behind bars on Monday in Bucks County.</p><p>Douris pleaded guilty in October to perjury stemming from a court proceeding. Authorities say he claimed he couldn&#8217;t walk or hold a glass of water and hadn&#8217;t been served with court papers because he couldn&#8217;t pick up papers left at his door.</p><p>But investigators eventually caught him using a power saw and ladder. Surveillance footage displayed by prosecutors shows Douris raking his lawn, dumping debris and pulling a hand cart as he does yard work.</p><style>
