Me to universe: Why won't this judge rule on this motion? It's been pending forever. I really want this case to be done. Judge: Ok, you lose, completely. Me: Not like that! (trudges off to find notice of appeal form)

Do I know anyone with access to Moore's Federal Practice who would copy/download a section for me? I have to make sure it says what a court decision says it says.

Having no voice is a very interesting way to practice law. At least now I have a good reason to make all those meetings be emails

Former DDC clerks or judges on burners: If a case is removed from Superior Court, can you easily see the record from Superior Court? Is it better to attach Sup. Ct. motions and decisions as exhibits in DDC brief?

Although this case wasn't a QI question, these facts highlight the bullshit at the heart of qualified immunity. Guards don't just need clear case law to tell them what to do. They don't care about case law. Even when it is literally handed to them.

When the minute order couldn't be any clearer: "Court advised the parties to consider carefully and discuss settlement in this case."

As I said in this story -- I cannot think of a time where that many guards were fired that quickly. This must have been extraordinary violence.
