The guy can file complete and total insanity, not move the case forward, swear at the opposing litigation and everything will be decided for him.
I want this plot armor.
The court itself is skating on thin ice. Greer has blown off the requirement for what is basic practice for almost 4 years now, even going so far as to defy not one but TWO orders of the court to give Hardin the damn scheduling paperwork.
What's funny is this should not even be something that should be an issue. The Schedule is so benign it can be handled by Email. Literally the Plaintiff emails the defense and says "How does this look, does this work for you?" and the Defense goes "Yeah, for the most part, but we can't do such and such on this date" and the plaintiff then goes "okay, so, how does this date work?" and the defense goes "yeah. that's fine". And if there is quite literally an intractable issue both go to the judge and say they can't solve it so the judge solves it for them. But that is an extraordinary remedy.
This is so bizarre, because quite honestly Plaintiffs for the most part hate dragging things out. They want their justice and resolution. The idea that a Plaintiff would willfully prolong litigation over a scheduling conference is so far outside the realm of possibility that we are quite literally in wonderland. I think part of the reason the court is so "confused" in this messaging is because this is unprecedented. Greer is clearly engaging with his case, but he's not engaging with it correctly. Even after literally having his hand held and pointed to the basic bitch documents he has to sign.
Like literally, he could fill out the form in crayons, mail them in with random dates and that would be enough. Hardin could then parse the document out, do Greer's job for him and the court could accept the interpretation of the scribbles and set a schedule.
But Greer is literally incapable of even scribbling crayons onto a template form submission, and then has the audacity to spend pages cursing out the defense for harassing him over his inability to send them his scribbles.
The court has to do something soon, because activism has its limits and the judge is skating very close to becoming Greer's attorney. At which point a motion to recuse may be on the table from the defense. In fact if no sanctions come from this latest nonsense I think a motion to recuse on the ground the judge is acting as plaintiffs advocate should be brought foreword if only to preserve the issue for appeal.
