Attorney Orly Taitz removed as lawyer for Capt. Connie Rhodes, still on the hook for possible sanctions
- ariquelmy@ledger-enquirer.comIn response to a motion filed today by “birther” attorney Orly Taitz, U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land has removed her from representing an Army captain who sought to stop her deployment to Iraq by arguing President Barack Obama can’t legitimately hold office.
Land’s order states that Taitz, who represented Capt. Connie Rhodes, is still responsible for showing why he shouldn’t sanction her $10,000 for filing a “frivolous” suit and that Rhodes remains responsible for paying the defendants’ court costs.
Taitz filed her motion to be removed as Rhodes’ attorney Saturday in the Columbus Division of U.S. District Court. 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 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) client’s most recently stated position in this case.”
It appears, however, that Taitz didn’t sign her motion. Court records filed Monday state that the motion must be filed again because Taitz didn’t sign it.
It was again filed with the court, though the second filing lacked a certificate of service, which states who received the filing and how they received it.
Land’s order came before Taitz filed another amended motion.
Folks need to quit yelling “TROLL” every time they’re challenged. Whether implicit or explicit. It’s tiresome.138 posted on Tuesday, September 22, 2009 11:21:56 AM by Admin Moderator
In the alternative, without waiving the foregoing, it is almost hilarious that all of the newbies that signed up to carry on the birther cause go around calling long-time, well-established freepers trolls and telling them that they are Obama enablers.
Is it possible that the most persistent birthers here on FR are in the basement of the White House, in a rather successful effort to discredit otherwise conservative forums?
Go ahead, call me a troll. It's probably all you've got.
