But I am not (assuming I was the one suing him) asking for money,
other than of course my attorney fees and expenses, which are NOT
counted in the 'twenty dollar rule' ... 

I am merely asking the judge to order him to refrain from continuing
to engage in the behavior which brought him there in the first place.

I do think that since there is no 'amount of money in dispute' we must
both mutually agree upon a jury trial.
