Federal Judge Clay Land may have made good on his threat of sanctions against a lawyer for an army officer fighting deployment on the claim that President Barack Obama was not born in this country. In an order today Judge Land denied a motion for a Stay of Deployment for Captain Connie Rhodes, filed by Attorney Orly Taitz yesterday. The motion was filed after Judge Land threatened sanctions and dismissed the complaint calling it frivolous. Taitz has 14 days to show why a $10,000 penalty as a sanction should not be imposed against her. We tried reaching Taitz. She has not returned our calls.
In a bizarre twist, News 3 has received a copy of a letter to Judge Clay Land, written by the officer in this case, Captain Connie Rhodes. In it she writes she is shipping out to Iraq and asks the Judge to withdraw the Motion to Stay the Deployment. She denies authorizing Taitz to file on her behalf.
Well actually she might be doing well to still be an attorney.
Bar complaints can be very troubling for attorneys especially if they are accompanied by court imposed sanctions. The California Bar might very well limit her ability to practice and the sanctions and awards of attorney fees as a result of her imcompentance are sure to increase the number a clients moving against her.

Today’s letter to Judge Land, by plaintiff Cpt. Connie M. Rhodes, MD:
[Edit: or is it? Based on a tip, check out the signature line. Now, someone may sign her name and underline it, as I regarded it, in passing, but it appears to be a pre-printed line. That in turn appears to make the signature a photocopy, which appears to make the letter appear to be a forgery. Yet more drama and disruption. Does someone have something to hide?]

Plus, see Judge Land’s orders and the reasons for his punitive measures against Dr. Taitz:

The source for this story is WRBL TV in Columbia, Georgia: “$10,000 Sanction Proposed Against ‘Birther’ Lawyer.” They have been asked about this letter and they are trying to track it down. More to come.
This is the point where I’m asking admin to put a question mark at the end of the title.
