Attorney Orly Taitz, a national figure in the birther movement and lawyer for an Army captain who sought to stop her deployment to Iraq on arguments that President Barack Obama cant legitimately hold office, has filed a motion to withdraw as the captains lawyer.
Taitz, who represents Capt. Connie Rhodes, filed her latest motion Saturday. It cites two court documents as reasons for withdrawing from the case a Sept. 18 order from U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land threatening $10,000 in sanctions against Taitz and a letter purportedly signed by Connie Rhodes, which asks for Taitz to be removed as her attorney.
In order to defend herself, the undersigned counsel will have to contest and potentially appeal any sanctions order in her own name alone, separately from the plaintiff, by offering and divulging what would normally constitute inadmissible and privileged attorney-client communications, Taitz states. The undersigned attorney will also offer evidence and call witnesses whose testimony will be adverse to her (former) clients most recently stated position in this case.
It appears, however, that Taitz didnt sign her motion. Court records filed Monday state that the motion must be filed again because Taitz didnt sign it.
I’ve seen weird behavior from a nice Ukrainian lady too. Maybe echoes of the USSR’s authoritarian past.
She has got to work on preventing mistakes... and it wouldn’t hurt for her to hire a media consultant too. (a good one)
On line, and no training in actual court protocol, good grief. If all one wanted to do was write wills, that kind of “school” would make sense, but not for the kind of thing Orly is pursuing. But even that does not explain many of her repeated stupidities.
We better watch to make sure she does not tried to get Gary Kreep kicked off the case in front of Judge Carter.
I no longer trust her. Sad.
I don’t know anything about getting a law degree on line but I know that you don’t have to do mock trials or do an internship. You have to take the classes and pass the bar and be approved by your state.
I think we are beyond that now. She wants to run everything. She cannot delegate anything. People who try to help her throw up their hands and run away.
My money is on Leo and TerriK.
Hopefully Gary Kreep can do something with the Judge Carter case and hopefully she won’t screw that one up.
Being that Orley is one of the top attorneys on the entire planet, I am sure that her not signing this motion is part of some higher strategy that we cannot hope to ever understand. /sarcasm
Or she might just be a Rat hired sabotager who has brought more of the same on board ($10,000 court penalties are chump change to the likes of ACORN). Any fool using a legal document template in, say, Microsoft Word, sees it has a place to sign the attorney’s name!
If Kreep is not also a plant, though if he’s not I think we will see a cat fight.
Too many repeated mistakes to blame on a sane, honest person, even if woefully unprepared. Submitting unsigned things at the rate she has, points to craziness or a plant.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Do you mean that she could be working for obama? lol Wouldn’t that be a bombshell! If that were the case, and I don’t think it is, but if it were.... the fallout would bring down the prez.
She has repeatedly committed these clerical errors in her legal filings. She is just completely incompetent as an attorney. I am sure it cam be blamed on her dubious law degree and her unfamiliarity with the technicalities of the American legal system. Sad, but maddening.
An actual competent lawyer wouldn't, because there is no case to file.
Very maddening. Why won’t a strong high profile attorney take this case on?
A used car salesman would know not to leave signatures off of things (unless he jolly well wants to for some nefarious reason).
