Greer v. Moon, No. 20-cv-00647 (D. Utah Sep. 16, 2020)

[AnOminous]

The order of documents in the register is strange, as the complaint was filed 6 days' after the answer was, when filing the complaint is typically the 1st entry and how the case gets its number assigned.

It's a seven day notice to quit, which indicates rent is due weekly, which indicates some sort of SOR flophouse.

This is served on the tenant and is a necessary preliminary to instituting formal eviction proceedings.

So Russ got this, then filed an answer, and at that point, the landlord has to pony up the goods. Why you'll often see the complaint as the first document is because often the deadbeat tenant just ignores the letter, which needless to say is a bad idea. So Russ at least apparently filed an answer and contested it, which probably bought him some time.

Nevada isn't exactly California in terms of mega tenants' rights (think of the movie Pacific Heights about a monster tenant played by Michael Keaton as an actually realistic portrayal of how California does this), but he may be able to drag this out a bit.

settlement offer of $10k

Might was well put up a sign that says: "Calling All Cows! Free 10 grand for every insane lawsuit you file!"

Request a court order that any Kiwi Farms member who spots Greer in public is legally entitled to put him over their lap and give him a sound spanking for wasting the court's time.

Seems appropriate relief since him not being spanked enough is probably a big part of why we're here. Make it happen Hardin.

It would be somewhat karmic if Greer's dogged pursuit of this case is what led to his loss of employment. I recall that his first employer when he sued Taylor Swift told him to drop the matter becuase it would hinder his employment prospects.

It would poetically rhyme in the style of a Greek Tragesy if his career as a cow began and ended with the fulfillment of this unwitting prophecy.

Perhaps Russell Greer could afford his counsel if he moved to a lower cost of living residence, and because we're helpers here at the Kiwi Farms I do have suggestions:

Sure, there's not much room, but think of the location! Your mail can't get lost if you live in the gutters beside the post office. There's also always the classic...

Alright, a van down by a river might be too high class for Greer, but there's plenty vans IN rivers that are shockingly affordable if you can tolerate the work commute.

This post has aged like the finest of wines. Everyone who rated me dumb owes me an apology.

Greer wouldn't even be the focus of most peoples attention were it not for this lawsuit. Instead the dude gets mentioned in newspapers and legal journals thanks to how long he's dragged this out, getting a ruling by a Federal Circuit Appeals court and a rejected Supreme Court Cert petition. Stuff that pops up the moment anyone google searches his name.

In my jdx the notice period (which can be up to 90 days) needs to run before you can file/serve the complaint, so there wouldn't be anything to answer at that point.

gonna one more time bring up my unpopular opinion that now is the time to strike with a settlement offer of $10k.

i didn't donate to the legal fund to give greer money. i donated for the funny. and this is a seriously unfunny outcome.

I FUCKING HATE MY LIFE YOUR HONOR, DUDE, I'M GOING TO FUCKIN-DUDE, MY LIFE SUCKS YOUR HONOR I'M GOING TO FUCK A DUDE, DUDE DUDE!

Part of me wonders if Russel's eviction arc is some retarded big-brain ploy to prove that he deserves "in forma pauperis" status.

 

[geckogoy]

It does somewhat undermine the claims that he has plenty of money

Who knew that e-mailing someone a Hitler meme could be so devastating. God forbid Greer ever gets his hands on a Sonichu medallion. Guy would wind up as Cenobite fodder.

Seriously, what's to stop Null from filing a motion to dismiss +sanctions and legal fees, serving Russ at his fake address of record where we know he won't receive it, waiting until the Judge grants for being uncontested, then waiting 60 days so Russ can't appeal before billing him at his real address?

I think it might go against Mr. Hardin's legal ethical obligations.

Your case has to be in a court to file things and have them be relevant/actionable, and this case isn't.

This "case" (and I hesitate to call it that, since in actuality it is merely a mangled conglomeration of filings, toothless rulings, and irrelevant e-whinging) is a Schrodinger-esque abomination that exists in 3 courts, none of which have any jurisdiction or wherewithal to progress it. It will exist only until Russ tries to actually prosecute it, but since he never will, it also cannot be terminated, dismissed, or even administratively ruled on.

Motions, even those (unlike your suggestion) filed in good faith, are just so much bleating into an unhearing and uncaring void.

I would fall into despair, were it not for the hilarious bi-monthly rantings of Russ bemoaning his life and describing all of his self-inflicted misery.

Is it (legally) unethical to serve someone at their address of record? Or win a case because they didn't respond or appeal?
