I think what you meant is civil lawsuits, with that being said the answer is no.

Civil lawsuits which is person to person is usually for damages (money...).

When it is versus the state like State vs John Smith then there is jail time involved.

In civil lawsuits the plaintiff may ask for for a restraining order though.
