Why is the identity missing and only the date and time stamp on the document? Why would Surrick “forward” any order that he received from outside his office, onto Berg?

Not to argue but, I'm sure you know that you can program for fax machine to include whatever you want — or nothing at all — on the header.

As for why the Judge faxed the plaintiff a copy of the order...I'll hazard a guess that it was because the order terminates plaintiff's case — and starts the clock on the appeal.
