Richard Emery and Illan Maazel of the New York law firm Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady LLC have just filed Notices of Appearance to represent Reade Seligmann in the civil lawsuit Evans et al v. Durham et al. The notice was signed by the local attorney involved, David Rudolph of Chapel Hill. http://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/north-carolina/ncmdce/1:2007cv00739/46882/106/ While such a motion is routine, it appears as if everyone is getting their ducks in a row for Judge Beaty's decisions about motions to dismiss. Plaintiff's responses to Iqbal are due to the judge on or about Tuesday July 14. |

Emery and Maazel have been working on the case for over a year. (See filing 50.) It's nice to see they've discovered the virtues of email.

The responses are due to be in Judge Beaty's hands on July 14th. Any reasonable expectations on how long it will take for the judge to move to the next step? |

I doubt anyone can say. Judge Beaty runs his own clock. Edited by Baldo, Jul 7 2009, 01:30 PM.

[Political considerations?]--have they force against the law? If so, stop talking of law. Arbitrary power would take the place of law. Today it hits Dreyfus, tomorrow it will hit others... We destroyed the Bastille and every July 14th we dance in the streets to commemorate the destruction of this monument to the reasons of state [i.e., political considerations]. Yet, deep inside, a Bastille remains so long as we are able to accept injustice. --Emile Zola in defense of Dreyfus |

Quasi: As a much beleaguered victim of the French People's Court(that is Madame Defarge's court ,not to be assimilated with Judge Judy's nor Nancy Grace's Peoples Courts) I must strenuouslly object to Citizen Zola's representations. " We destroyed the Bastille and every July 14th we dance in the streets to commemorate the destruction of this monument to the reasons of state [i.e., political considerations]. Yet, deep inside, a Bastille remains so long as we are able to accept injustice. " --Emile Zola in defense of Dreyfus I am happy to report that on the two hundredth Bastille Day a survey taken by a reputable Parisian news service showed that 46% of those asked wanted the monarchy restored.It was particularly encouraging to further find that young people formed a plurality of those questioned.The Skinheads being particularly emphatic on this issue. Last year a similar thing happened in the former Soviet Union.A leading television show ran a national vote for the greatest Russian in the 20th Century.Result:50% for Joseph Stalin,50% for St.(Yes,he has been officially canonized) Nicholas Romanoff. Gorby,Boris Y., and Czar Putin couldn't raise a percentage point between them.The pikers! http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4863837.ece. .

As J.V. Stalin might have concluded, This merely shows that the French Committee for Public Safety and the later Russian Extraordinary Commission (for combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage) were not sufficiently thorough (i.e., harsh) in their "re-education" (i.e. torture) of the populace. . . |
