In Which a Federal Judge Makes It Clear He’s Getting Fed Up With the Inept Legal Fumbling of Chuck C. Johnson
It didn’t take the judge very long to react to Chuck Johnson’s latest awful filing in his lawsuit against Gawker, and if you guessed that he wasn’t very happy with Johnson and his crack legal team, you’d be right. It seems these nimrods ignored several parts of what the judge directed them to do, and now he’s striking their amended complaint from the record but still giving them another chance by ordering a clerk to correct their filing error.
He also threw out a second copy of the amended complaint that was filed apparently by mistake — and included a note to let them know his patience is running out:
Plaintiffs are cautioned that the Court will not take similar corrective action on their behalf in the future.
