Dear Sharon and Melissa;
I note that they passed the KDD rule where a respondent cannot file a dispositive motion unless and until the “evidentiary record” is complete.
However, no other court that I am aware of has such a rule or procedure. Most judges want you to file that 12 -b-6 or 2-619 motions ASAP to get them out of the way.
Do you know why the ARDC did this? What’s it supposed to mean? I know KDD filed a lot of them, but that’s how we are trained by the courts and judges and when you file them right before hearing or trial, be prepared for a whack from a 2 x 4 upside the head.
In any case, what do you want me to put in my “evidentiary record” to show a good defense? Will there be a date or deadline to finalize the “evidentiary record”. Is the “evidentiary record” discovery or close of discovery? Most courts want you to do those 629 or 12 b 6 motions right away, soon as you get the right information or data.
I was thinking of having the probate blogs and all of the parties involved in these cases without jurisdiction, cases on appeal, cases where the GALs wrongfully removed money from account (you should SEE what SRR is up to now–unbelieveable!), etc.do declarations for the record to show that I am telling the truth.
Truth is a defense to all of this, isn’t it?
And perhaps because KDD was always touting the first amendment he didn’t particularly feel inclined to do a lot of declaration work and that’s what killed his case, isn’t it?
I still don‘t understand why you don’t answer my emails and share documents, but maybe those are issues you’re working on. Hey, I’ve had tons of clients and their spouses I‘ve had or were forced to by the courts to go to therapy to work out issues and amazingly, it worked out immensely well. In fact, my therapist friends tell me that it’s changing old bad habits into new, better ones and showing people how it benefits them and everyone else. I get that. I have seen that.
I have had judges chew out opposing counsel before for not answering emails and sharing documents and information. I don’t understand why Chair Lee isn’t really doing this or isn’t much in charge of the case, doing things that judges usually do–force cooperation, force settlement or dismissal, etc.
In fact, I am a bit concerned that he said I engaged in an ex parte communication and issue an order regarding that when in fact I had not. I wonder what his resume is? Does he need help and the ARDC too with meshing litigation practice and their own internal rules? Perhaps much conflict simply arises there.
I have not seen any FAQ or blog on the ARDC to help out lawyers who face charges. why is that? can you do that? should I call the help line for that? do you have a speech for that? What about first amendment rights and lawyers, what is your official position on the help line? blogging?
Sorry, but I have a whole lot more questions than answers, but I have to say that KDD answered the most wonderful of all–why is Mary under a guardianship when she hasn’t been served, there are allegations of millions of dollars missing, and yet law enforcement does nothing, and why does Gloria have to be rendered homeless and penniless–much like Dominic Spera when these are people of means?
All of this remains a mystery to me, please elaborate.
thanks
JoAnne
