A reply on the thread from the original poster:
There was no hearing today, Judge Carter examined the evidence, and contacted Orly...This is true, it is verified by Ed Noonan from California and two others through Orlys own mouth.
What do yall know about Edward Noonan?
Moonpie: in all honesty, this appears to be much ado about absolutely nothing as regards the CA case. Unless Judge Carter issued an order after hours, which is about a .00001% chance, he did absolutely nothing but to refer the discovery motion to the Magistrate Judge. That is routine.
If you recall, at the Tuesday hearing he denied the plaintiffs’ (Taitz) motion to remove this particular Magistrate from the case. Having made that decision, he routinely referred the discovery motion to him.
It would be extraordinary for Judge Carer to refer the yet unopposed motion to a Magistrate Judge and then, on the same day, turn around and make a decision to order discovery to be done immediately.
The comment attributed to “Ed Noonan” doesn’t make sense at all as it may relate to discovery being granted. How does examining the evidence relate to granting limited discovery (which appears not to have been granted)?
Someone, somewhere has misinterpreted what happened in the CA court today. This has happened over and over, and does not help the larger cause by continuously building up people’s hopes only to have them deflated.
