Filed & Entered: 02/25/2009 Docket Text Order to Show Cause

That doesn't look good on Berg (the case).

[rxsid]

"The law is a tough business, and the courts do not accept nonsense. It is a take-no-prisoners game and the attorneys who venture into Federal court had better be willing and able to play by the rules. They are paramount, and they are all written down for everyone to see.

Too bad that the quality of legal practice leaves much to be desired here, but that is the real problem. Don’t blame it on the courts. "

Do the courts need to follow the laws and rules? Or are they exempt somehow?

So far as I can tell in this particular case, it looks like the clerk for the court required something of the plaintiff that wasn't required.

So the paralegal files documentary evidence of what transpired.

Then, the judge takes it out on the plaintiff's paralegal?

This appears to me that the judge on this case is basically saying he and his court are above the rules.

Would you please explain how the judge could say that Berg can’t practice in his court but then tell him he has until the 26th to show cause?

An attorney named Hemingway, who is admitted to practice in DC, also signs all papers. As for Mr. Berg, he filed a motion to be admitted in the DC court for this case. According to Right Side of Life, a couple weeks ago the Judge held that motion in abeyance "until the Court has had the opportunity, in open court, to examine their credentials, their competence, their good faith, and the factual and legal bases of the complaint they have signed."

Thank you very much!

[esquirette]

Reading the order again, it looks like the paralegal signed. . . ? That is even worse. . . .

"Hollister is the lead atty"

Hollister is the lead plaintiff. I believe he's retired military (officer) subject to lifetime re-instatement.

[luv2ndamend]

Thanks for the clarification.

[rxsid]

I should say, for the rest of his life he’s subject to re-instatement.

[mojitojoe]

Can Berg then take this case to SCOTUS if it is dismissed?
______________
what SCOTUS? That sham group sitting in there not even pretending to give a sh*t about the Constitution?

[freekitty]

That’s very interesting. Thanks for the info. I have worked legal but am not an attorney or paralegal.

[freekitty]

I completely overlooked that. Yes, that is not good.

[montanajoe]

Sorry I bothered to post. The pleading that was required was a memorandum of points and authorities in opposition to the motion to dismiss by the Defendants. The judge in this matter interpreted the pleading that was filed as being filed by a paralegal. The judge then gave the Plaintiff’s until tomorrow at 5 pm to file the the correct responsive pleading or show cause why the case should not be dismissed.

[freekitty]

Thank you.

[Freedom2specul8]

that’s what I get for trying to read this on the phone... I just now got on the computer.

The following “LEAD ATTORNEY
ATTORNEY TO BE NOTICED” was under hollisters name, my apologies

[freekitty]

You are right. One of the other posters said she signed it and I overlooked that.

[freekitty]

Don’t be sorry. Everyone’s post is really a contribution and we can all learn.

[Freedom2specul8]

post #28 is really bad wrt:to the comments about the blank pages/joke comments. at the same time, I don’t see why the paralegal can’t assist the lead atty. unless laws about paralegals are different in washington.

[MHGinTN]

It is all very confusing, isn’t it! And I think that was the intent of this judge and his servants. But, who can tell, he fabricated an ingenious plausible deniability.

[2111USMC]

Thanks for the clarification.

I actually understood that.

[freekitty]

I thought that was a little overboard too; but is signed by the judge and he has the the last say.

Any other responses? I am rather enjoying this and learning a lot.

[Polarik]

This is a joke.
