This is an absolute banger of a paragraph

 

[Useful_Mistake]

Basically the summary of this entire litigation

 

[obsdj]

Oh, YUMMY:


ARGH, can't somebody please hire a proofreader for Hardin?

 

[Billy Bong]

Greer has routinely violated the deadlines to comply with orders of this Court, ECF No. 194-1, and “excusable neglect” has become his watchword.

I really really like that turn of phrase. Nice work Matt. You're absolutely right.

 

[FamicomGorby]

Hardin does not hold back saying that Greer is a fucking liar

 

[obsdj]

Hardin obviously had fun with this filing:

But it always makes me nervous when his prose begins to get florid and sarcastic. It's great entertainment for us, but I recall the judge in the Melinda case not finding things funny as the electronic record continued to grow and grow and grow (as usual it was largely the judge's own fault for refusing to act, but whatevs).

 

[AnOminous]

I believe there is also a judicial review board that can occur if a judge sees too many successful appeals due to errors of procedure?

Full Article III federal judges generally can't be removed without impeachment and don't have a mandatory retirement age, but while older judges who are still mostly competent often just take "senior status" and keep taking cases (sometimes at a reduced volume).

How they deal with it when a judge is obviously impaired is if they won't voluntarily retire, they just quit giving them cases. There usually isn't some official "senile fuck" finding.

That said, there are definitely judges who should no longer be on the bench.

I've now seen "complete fabrication unmoored from reality" enough times to think it must be a legal term of art.

If so, it was custom-built for this case.

How they deal with it when a judge is obviously impaired is if they won't voluntarily retire, they just quit giving them cases. There usually isn't some official "senile fuck" finding.

IIRC there's been more than one case of dottering old judges wandering the courts with a clerk basically marshaling them - no cases for years, but they still haunt the place. Sometimes discussions would wander to what happens if he's the only one around, and what weird hijynx could result.

Merged. OCRed

Spoiler: Imaged

Page 19 doesn't even seem to have an "I'm..... 19" on it.
But we did get a page with nothing but "Sent with my iPhone"

I have a pretty good vocab, but I had not run across "seriatim" before.

And then there was the guy who came out of retirement once a year just to force that consent degree against the Republican Party from the 60s to continue in perpetuity.

God I hope Greer feels compelled to respond to this. The "NO U" levels will be off the charts.

You know who I'd like to respond... The court. But I suspect we may not get anything until after Hardin's reply to the amended complaint.

I kinda think Hardin filed this late on a Friday specifically so it could piss Greer off the whole weekend. That should give Greer plenty of time and motivation to come up with a banger by Monday.

Oh, YUMMY:

Very interesting citation by Mr. Hardin, especially if the second discovery motion is granted. There is some very harsh language in that case that may be of use

 

[Hunter Hearst Helmsley]

You know, not every James wants to identify as a Jim. How does Greer even know James Jorton goes by Jim? It sounds like an inside job to me.

Oh myyyyyyy. Justia summary of that case (from the Holy Tenth Circuit!):

Plaintiffs Markyl Lee and Promises to Keep, LLC, failed to produce documents in response to a discovery request. They then proceeded to violate two judicial orders compelling production of those documents. After “patiently affording the plaintiffs chance after chance,” the district court dismissed the case as a sanction against Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs appealed the dismissal. The Tenth Circuit held that “[o]ur justice system has a strong preference for resolving cases on their merits whenever possible, but no one. . .should count on more than three chances to make good a discovery obligation.” The Court affirmed the lower court’s dismissal of Plaintiffs’ case.

(Emphasis mine.) This might be worth a lazy weekend read indeed.

Bad summary. It misses all the juicy parts. The decision is not very long, nor complicated, and worth a read.

I have a pretty good vocab, but I had not run across "seriatim" before.

Seriatum means in series, as in one after the other d'uh.

It would be mendacious to tell you I didn't look that up, so trust me when I say it apodictically
