S: We filed a motion to dismiss the case based on failing to state cause of action, lack of jurisdiction, both subject ... ? individuals.
J: Before we go there, any indication why this individual has opted to not appear? Have you talked with this person? Do you have any idea?
S: He’s been posting quite vigorously that he would be here.
J: And I would like to speak with him about that. But he’s not here for me to do that. But you have not any indication of why he has opted not to be here?
S: No sir.
J: Also it appears that a subpoena has been issued in this case. Have you seen that? Looks like on the 11th it was issued by Mr. Greer to a S.H., general counsel of Larry H. Miller Sport Entertainment. Does not look like it was served upon him. That’s news to you?
S: Yes.
J: Do I have Mr. H here by chance? That’s OK. I have no indication that it was served.
S: He’s their attorney, where the events are alleged to have occurred.
J: Yeah.
S: I would ask the court to grant our motion to dismiss.
J: On the record, I was very interested in discussing Mr. Greer’s social media activity, for anyone else who may be listening, and for the record, those possibly constitute an electronics communications harassment, even possibly misdemeanor, if not felonious, stalking.
S: Including members of my own family.
J: But I don’t want you to have to come back Mr. Skordas because I would consider issuing a warrant for Mr. Greer to come and talk with us about these things, but I don’t imagine that that’s something that you’re seeking at the moment.
S: No.
J: Alright. What kind of fees have you incurred through this kind of representation?
S: We put a cap on our fees of $2500. We haven’t reached that yet, so whatever you think is reasonable.
J: Thank you. We’ll grant the motion of dismissing this case with prejudice. We see no reason, no filing, nothing to the effect of Mr. Greer not appearing on this case, causing the defendants to incur a significant amount of attorney’s fees, time, I would imagine stress, apparently for either a nefarious purpose or otherwise, coupled with some of the other inappropriate social media activity. Facebook’s not just for fun. If you want to threaten someone on Facebook, it’s like you said it to their face. When you talk about blood in the courtroom, we don’t take that lightly, just in case any of you were curious about that. Right, Mr. Skordas?
S: Yes.
J. I am dismissing Mr. Greer’s claims with prejudice, ordering $1500 of attorney’s fees to the defendants, to be reduced to judgment. Anything else I can do on that case for you Mr. Skordas?
S: No your honor. Thank you very much.
J: Very good, thank you very much.
S: Are we excused?
J: Please, thank you very much. Thanks for being here today. I’m sorry that this seems to have been a waste of time.
Now ladies and gentlemen, I don’t imagine that any of my other cases will make my ire raise like that certainly.
::discussion with bailiff, they're getting word that he's outside::
Well good. Then let’s have a conversation.
