Good thing they had ESP to know they had been ordered!
Although Plaintiffs counsel has not been issued an ECF log-in or password, which would have emailed Counsel upon the filing of a document through the ECF system (due to Plaintiffs counsels motions for admission pro hac vice not yet being granted), Counsel learned of the Order in time to properly comply with the Order of this Court.And what the heck was going on here?!!?
The Order to Show Cause stated, Instead of the opposition plaintiff was ordered to file by 2/13/09 (or defendants' motion to dismiss would be granted as conceded, see [#10], what plaintiff filed was (a) the affidavit of a paralegal (who works in the office of a Pennsylvania lawyer who has not been admitted to practice in this Court), complaining about her treatment by an employee of the Clerk's Office, and (b) many blank pages, decorated only by what appear to be botanical drawings and the illegible photocopy of an Hawaiian certificate of live birth. (a) The affidavit was apparently intended as a response to my earlier observation that plaintiff's motion to file interpleader was frivolous, see [#2], [#10], the argument being, "Maureen Higgins made me do it." What was frivolous about the motion, however, was not the fact that it was filed, but the suggestion that (a) "duties" could be filed in the registry of this court. (b) The blank pages were either somebody's idea of a joke (in which case I don't get it) or a mistake. If the latter, plaintiffs have until 5:00 pm EST on 2/26/09 to correct it, by re-filing their points and authorities in opposition to the pending motion to dismiss (in the .pdf format required by the Court's CM/EDF system), or otherwise to show cause why that motion should not now be granted as conceded. It is SO ORDERED.Is someone in the Court playing games? Did they actually send this?
I would almost guarantee a black clerk int he office decided to make a game of the filing, to get it dismissed for her messiah, so she packed the document sent to the judge with garbage. And nothing will be done to her over the abuse of her position or the miscarriage of justice she attempted. Remember the woman who dove into Joe the Plumber’s files in Ohio? Barry has many worshipful aides spread throughout the legal system, some of whom work at the subpreme court level.
