According to the paralegal’s declaration, a motion to be admitted pro hoc vice was already made (back in dec?).
something about the order doesnt pass the sniff test, or else it is all so rigged that they dont even care about pretending to make it sniff test passable.
i first read it a couple of hours ago, and again a few minutes ago, and it doesnt smell right now or then- not to mention I’ve NEVER seen an Order or OTSC begin by stating “Instead of”. that was a red flag from the literal first word.
this is bizarre.
I expect they should be working feverishly to put together papers to file by the deadline to create an appealable issue/record.
Please ping me if you hear of any subsequent developments.
Yes, it was done. There's an FR thread about it somewhere.
What struck me was how it doesn’t sound like a judge would write what this judge did; if he did.
