Gee DrLaw you disappointed me. I thought that you would jump all over that filing something as a friend of the court thing. Now I'm really doubting your credentials. When exactly is it that you can file as amicus curiae? If you keep posting here you may need to buy a a Black's Law Dictionary.
"Wrong, guess again"? On what and why are you suddenly in a hurry? No time for a good debate this morning? Oh, I'll bet that you're probably on the way to the courthouse.
Oh well. Off to work for me as well.
Yes, I was off to a courthouse for a 9:00 AM CST hearing. Now, for more.
I am going to send individual answers to some of the people here, privately.
Obviously, there are some who disagree with me.
Tough. Get used to it, we will not agree.
Deanwise, as you should know if you have legal backgrounds, dismissal with prejudice means dismissal without being able to refile. It DOES NOT ALWAYS, as you stated, mean that there was a settlement. It means that the case is done and over with as to that defendant. Now, being in the law, I know that settlements are often not disclosed publicly due to the amounts of the settlement - one side or the other does not often want that knowledge out.
However, NOTHING in those docket sheets you posted (of the ones I read and mentioned) shows that CVA settled. Where is YOUR proof? You want proof I am a lawyer, guess what, I don't have to provide you proof. Have I said I wanted proof you are actually a licensed private investigator? No. I would not want you to post that information here, in public, in the form that another member here did with an ID card, as that is poor internet security.
If you want to know who and where I am, I left enough clues here on THE FIRING LINE. Somebody apparently cannot read the listing under my name to figure out which state I am in. Be a private dick, find me.
What I take issue with is presenting something as true without the facts (proof) to back it up. That is what your website is doing. Sorry, but that is the bottom line.
You question whether I am a lawyer for not jumping in as a friend of the court, or filing a brief on this. Answer your own question on when you jump in, if you were ever taught. My giving you an answer does not prove anything, as it can be looked up on the web.
Now, some of the others can look forward to receiving something privately from me. As for me, as somebody else put it, I don't have to click on this post. Quite frankly, I have learned a long time ago that one can cry wolf, or one can cry an alarm. One cannot save everybody from either. Those folks that want to believe Dean and Pappy and some others trashing a manufacturer, go ahead.
It's like Ron White says, "You can't fix stupid."
The Doc is out now.
