Bring on the jury! Non-Adventists will see right through him! The judges sure can see through them! I am still smiling at the way the judge responded in the document I read last month! The judge knows!
It was funny, some of the things he said. For those who want to read them, see http://www.3abnvjoy.com/ilsd-08mc00016/ilsd-08mc00016-doc-29.pdf.
Litigation 101.
Or, (1) ways Danny might hide money which means we have to conduct more discovery, (2) how to use a lawsuit to say it ain't so, Joe, and (3) how to open a very large can of worms.
You thought the Judge was funny? I did read what he said. The very end was the most interesting. For those who don't know, Mr. Simpson represents 3ABN. The Court is the Judge speaking.
MR. PICKLE: Your Honor, can I speak to the issue
of complete production?
THE COURT: No. No, we don't need to get there
right now. All we're dealing with here, because the
production issue is clearly not before me.
MR. PICKLE: Could I --
THE COURT: No. No. No. We're done here. I have
one of two options here. And I could either go ahead and
quash this subpoena and with the understanding that the
defendants could reserve the subpoena on Gray Hunter Stenn at
a later date when this scope of discovery has been narrowed
by Judge Hillman in Massachusetts. That would --
MR. PICKLE: Your Honor --
THE COURT: No. No. No. You have had your time
to talk. Now is mine.
MR. PICKLE: Okay.
THE COURT: I don't know what that would really
accomplish, so what I'm going to do is this: We're going to
do nothing on this. We're just going to leave this subpoena
open for right now. And I will direct that Gray Hunter Stenn
and Three Angels take every effort to preserve any documents
of any kind, documents or records of any kind, electronic or
otherwise, which might be produced under the subpoena. And
I'm going to then order right now that any further litigation
concerning the subpoena which has been issued to Gray Hunter
Stenn be transferred to the district of Massachusetts and
Judge Hillman because it is so closely and completely
intertwined with matters before him at this time. And I fear
that anything which might be done here might lead to
inconsistent rulings, and that will be that.
So the subpoena is open. Gray Hunter Stenn and
Three Angels are ordered to preserve any records of any kind,
electronic or otherwise, which might satisfy the subpoena.
The matter then will be transferred to Judge Hillman for any
further action. And waiting until the scope of discovery is
resolved is going to be a good way to do that.
And we have made a transcript of these proceedings.
Anybody who desires to have a transcript may contact Jane
McCorkle and arrange for the transcript. And that will be
that. Actually, you're going to have this electronically so
I guess Judge Hillman could pull this up if he wanted to if
somebody orders it. Right. And that will be that.
MR. SIMPSON: Thank you, Judge Frazier.
THE COURT: All right. Thanks, everybody.
