Plaxico Burress has found himself in court many times before last November's nightclub shooting in Manhattan. But it's usually because of unpaid debts.
The New York Giants wide receiver has been sued at least nine times. People in several states say he failed to pay a debt, damaged their car or didn't pay his taxes.
Those seeking payment include a Pennsylvania homeowners association that says it's owed delinquent dues. A Florida woman says Burress rear-ended her car while driving without insurance.
Burress eventually settles the legal matters. But his biggest legal challenges are ahead.
The 31-year-old millionaire now faces felony gun charges after he accidentally shot himself in the leg.
He's due in court March 31.
