District Judge overrules Acer's objections and rules that the Magistrate was right
Thought I point out that this probably will end any sort of future lawfare by Acerthorn. Hardin has demonstrated that he knows how to beat him whenever he files a bullshit lawsuit twice. He might file another after this is dismissed without prejudice in which case Hardin can simply do this again easily and cheaply.

Acerthorn will likely decide to go after easier targets who don't know how to deal with him.
 
Fun Fact: An 8 pack(12oz) of Hot Dogs at an Arkansas WalMart is presently $1. That's 3240 hot dogs or just over 300lbs that the court is attempting to steal from Stabby.

I'm hoping for the funniest possible resolution. Stabby updates his Circuit Court filing and requests he be allowed to be IFP at the District Court. Then the Circuit Court re-evaluates his IFP there as well, and requires him to pay if he wants them to rule on the IFP at the District Court.

He'll do that, but he'll still try suing Null again as well. He'll just try filing in a different district that isn't wise to his vexatious ways yet. For instance, there's a bowtied faggot magistrate in Utah that will let cases like this drag on for six years and nearly as many hundreds of docket entries.

This isn't over yet either, as Stebbins will immediately appeal this ruling. Hopefully it's treated with the same urgency that district court in Charleston gave to Stebbins. Of course he'll want to proceed IFP for the appeal, thus adding a fresh new layer to this shit cake of a case.
 
I just realized this could be a fun filing for @Potentially Criminal to cover since it's been a year since anything happened in this case. I don't remember if he covered the mandamus at the Circuit Court, but that one is pretty boring except for the slapfight between Hardin and Stabby about the Circuit Court IFP.
 
Those judges must have been terrified of getting the "Mandamused By A Lolcow" achievement on their profiles.

The whole time reading I was thinking about Sean, but because of the aneurism the formatting would give him. Four orphaned headers over ten pages? IT'S NOT HARD, JUDGE! CTRL+ENTER! QUIT FUCKING AROUND!

Only a wild beast would use Ctrl+Enter to stop headers being orphaned. You use a paragraph style for the headings that has "keep with next paragraph" set.

Sadly, for how much writing they do, few lawyers and law clerks seem to know how to use word processors.
 
On shit Acerthorne! The District Judge all but called you a clown!

Im surprised we've not heard any angry turkey noises yet.
Don't forget that he was also denied CM/ECF access at the district level. He has to physically mail in his complaints, so it will take some time. Although, last time he did email the judge's chambers to inform them mail was coming and whine about the speed, so maybe we'll get that soon.

For that reason, I bet he focuses on converting that Mandamus into an appeal of this Order. He still has ECF access there (I think), so it's easier to file his retarded complaints.
 
Plaintiff is MUTE... wait, what's that, the word is MOOT. Whatever.

I like it. Nuke the open docket so he can't try whatever retardation to convert it.

What is the point of filing a motion to dismiss something as moot? If the judge considers it moot, wouldn't he do so anyway since it's the least amount of work required?
If a judge gets to the point of ruling on it, sure. But that could take a while, and you can't count on the judge to look down the docket and make the correct conclusion. If they're just looking at the docket and they see an explicit "this is moot" notification, they can fast track that and clean up.

Besides which, the parties are required to inform the court of things that change which have a material impact on the question.
 
In the 4th circuit, Lolcow responds now to Stabby's motion to strike.

Hardin apparently really likes saying "twice-declared vexatious litigant"

Aside from it being true (and it being good to remind the court of that fact), I suspect Stabby's chimping out at it has ensured Mr. Hardin will find a way to say it as many times as possible in every filing going forward.
