BREAKING: New Letter Order From Judge Grimm

Judge Grimm is Inviting Us to Oppose Admitted Forgerer Brett Kimberlin's Amendment

This is the latest post in what I half-jokingly call The Kimberlin Saga^®.  If you are new to the story, that’s okay! Not everyone reads my blog.  The short version is that Kimberlin has been harassing me for over two years, his worst conduct being when he attempted to frame me for a crime.   I recognize that this might sound like an incredible claim, but I provide video and documentary evidence of that fact; in other words, you don’t have to believe my word.  You only have to believe your eyes.  So, if you are new to the story, go to this page and you’ll be able to catch up on what has been happening.

So let’s get the document itself out of the way, below the fold as always (so as to make it easier to view my webpage):

   Letter Order 3.21.14

Here’s what I take away, and very little of it is good news for Brett.

First, Judge Grimm has decided he is not going to accept this new amendment as a matter of course.

Second, he seems to be positively inviting us to oppose Brett’s motion for leave to amend.  This suggests that the judge sees problems with it and wants to give us the chance to speak up for ourselves.

Third, he is not granting Levy’s request to have a surreply, the only bright spot for Kimberlin.  Still, Levy has put in front of the judge the fact that Brett’s reply itself might be improper and even if Judge Grimm doesn’t actually strike Brett’s reply, it is not a good idea to be seen violating the order, again.  And frankly I think Brett’s response was so poor there was no need for further reply.

Finally, John Hoge’s motion to dismiss is being stricken as “unripe” which basically means that legally it is too soon.  Which makes sense given that the judge has made it clear that the complaint has not been amended as of yet.  John can literally turn around and file the exact same motion when and if Brett’s proposed amendment is accepted, though he is not required to file the same thing.

So in terms of tea-leaf reading, the judge might not even accept Brett’s latest amendment.  And his attempt to amend the complaint is an implicit admission that the prior two versions were not sufficient.  Yes, it is theoretically possible for Judge Grimm to refuse to accept the second amended complaint but then decide that the first amended complaint was sufficient.  But it is unlikely in the extreme.

And of course Judge Grimm has made it clear that no further attempts to amend will be allowed.

Stay tuned.  And make sure you stock up on popcorn or some other kind of snackfood appropriate to enjoying things as a spectator.

And always remain happy warriors.

Hey, this is shaping up to be a very good day…

My wife and I have lost our jobs due to the harassment of convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin, including an attempt to get us killed and to frame me for a crime carrying a sentence of up to ten years.  I know that claim sounds fantastic, but if you read starting here, you will see absolute proof of these claims using documentary and video evidence.  If you would like to help in the fight to hold Mr. Kimberlin accountable, please hit the donation link on the right.  And thank you.

Disclaimer:

I have accused some people, particularly Brett Kimberlin, of reprehensible conduct.  In some cases, the conduct is even criminal.  In all cases, the only justice I want is through the appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice system.  I do not want to see vigilante violence against any person or any threat of such violence.  This kind of conduct is not only morally wrong, but it is counter-productive.

In the particular case of Brett Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him.  Do not call him.  Do not write him a letter.  Do not write him an email.  Do not text-message him.  Do not engage in any kind of directed communication.  I say this in part because under Maryland law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want that to happen to him.

And for that matter, don’t go on his property.  Don’t sneak around and try to photograph him.  Frankly try not to even be within his field of vision.  Your behavior could quickly cross the line into harassment in that way too (not to mention trespass and other concerns).

And do not contact his organizations, either.  And most of all, leave his family alone.

The only exception to all that is that if you are reporting on this, there is of course nothing wrong with contacting him for things like his official response to any stories you might report.  And even then if he tells you to stop contacting him, obey that request.  That this is a key element in making out a harassment claim under Maryland law—that a person asks you to stop and you refuse.

And let me say something else.  In my heart of hearts, I don’t believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above.  But if any of you have, stop it, and if you haven’t don’t start.
