Not in Federal Court. You may be able to FILE the suit without evidence, but it will be dismissed very quickly unless facts are included in the complaint. You MUST have well-pleaded factual allegations IN the complaint. You're not allowed to develop these facts in discovery, you have to have them from the get-go.

I've said it before. A citizen's access to the court system shrinks every day.
