> She’d prefer that the other lawyers (Kreep, etc.) file their own cases
I have the feeling this judge may be trying to assist Orly, either to help keep things on course, or to add a specific blend of plaintiffs to increase the likelihood the case cannot be dismissed because of a lack of standing. Gary’s staff can help with the paperwork since Orly’s working with mostly volunteers.
Gary Kreep all but had his hands on Obama’s Occidental records until College officials contacted Obama’s lawyers. Obama’s lawyers argued to the court in that separate case that the election was over and that future concerns should be addressed to Congress, thus blocking Kreep’s subpoena for Obama’s records.
By having more plaintiffs on the case, it reduces the incentive for anyone to do her in. Even if she dies, the case goes on. Perhaps the judge was protecting her in more ways than just legal standing.
Furthermore, evidence and discovery is shared among plaintiffs. It would make it harder to destroy crucial evidence by thuggery.
He is definitely trying to keep Kreep on since the Motion to Dismiss stated that one of his plaintiffs which resides in Orange County may be the only person that just might qualify to make a case in that county.
That is how I read the Motion to Dismiss. I wish I could remember the exact statement, but it stated that this person no longer was attached to the case. So, maybe the judge realized having Kreep and his plaintiffs, it could not be dismissed.
Did you read the motion?
What an unfortunate name...especially for a lawyer!
