re: #18 De Kolta Chair

He claims to have spent that amount of money. Fact or fiction?

It doesn’t cost that much to file motions. It certainly doesn’t cost that much for airfare or hotels in the Greater STL area. However, spending all your time in a bar drinking yourself into an incoherent stupor? That’s downright priceless.

There’s no reason for Chucky to have filed in Missouri but for the fact that he found a lawyer willing to try this nonsensical raving.

I can only hope that the federal court judge treats this accordingly and hands Chucky and lawyer their hats - and sanctions Chucky’s lawyer, but I doubt he’ll go that far.

He should though. This is one of the most thoroughly screwed up briefs I’ve ever come across. Add to that the fact that he knowingly went over the page limit for a motion of this kind, and you know that his lawyer is playing a real special game of crazy chicken.

Courts may give pro se parties the benefit of doubt on filings - they’re non lawyers after all, but this one makes some of those kinds of filings look downright professional.

What a mess Chucky unleashed on the legal system. It makes floor shitting look downright quaint.
