The needless jurisprudence didn't start when Greer missed a deadline by 2 hours, it started when he lied about witnesses to get the case back to Utah. It continued with every filed complaint about harassment after his harassment claim got tossed, because Hardin is forced to answer and file demands for removing inflammatory language. The judge is putting blinders on to pretend only the really egregious recent stuff has wasted time.
"The 10th Appeals said I stated a claim!" Yeah, and nothing Greer has put on the docket since then supports that stated claim. Not a single thing in the court record, since it came back from Appeals, has added any clarity or support about contributory copyright infringement. The judge knows the distinction between stating a claim and having a case, and he knows there is no case here.
But he won't interrupt his deathmarch. I think he accepts the eventual need to toss on summary judgement, since Greer couldn't even tard stumble his way to the starting gate. But knowing that eventuality, the judge still should have tossed it by now.
