Judge “Ginger” won’t see 99 boxes of files on the wall behind the door simply marked “office” – or a description of this surprisingly different “common space” in the Heebe-River Birch “tour guide“. Of course, no one would want to call Judge Berrigan’s civil-right’s-focused-attention to the obvious “discriminating” taste of whoever decided to cram “the … Continue reading “Guess what’s behind the door marked “office” – not unless Monty Hall led the search of Heebe-River Birch!”
After downloading a few more parts of Exhibit A to the Government’s “tour guide” of the River Birch offices, I’m amazed the search team left with only 25 boxes of files.

They seem a bit sore their consigliere Peter Butler’s legal work product was taken by … Continue reading “This is gonna be a nasty fight: Team River Birch sues Uncle Sam.”
I mentioned earlier in a comment that I was practically overwhelmed with emails of late. All were very respectful but several were like this one from a disturbed regular reader that asked: Doug: Your “battle royale” with Feldman is “interesting”, but I’m not sure why you’ve stuck your neck out so far. If things are … Continue reading “Slabbed takes a second stab at explaining why clean impartial courts are important to everyone.”

Mary Ann Vial Lemmon, Lance M. Africk, Helen G. Berrigan, Ivan L.R. Lemelle, Jay C. Zainey, and, in some cases, Kurt D. Engelhardt – and the only remaining question, IMO, is how long will it take NRB to post a comment to Bloomberg’s Judges Quit BP Gulf Oil-Spill Lawsuits Over Conflicts: “We have five orders … Continue reading “Recused is the news: Guess who won't be on the bench when oil spill litigation goes to court?”
