Be sure to file the NOTICE AND DEMAND, and MOTION TO STAY PROCEEDINGS today, so we have something in by your deadline. Once these are filed, we can breathe easier, because the MOTION is crucial and forms the basis for procedural appeals, if necessary. We can work on an amended complaint over the weekend, and mail it on Monday, or Tuesday. The judge probably won't get around to reading the file until next week anyway. Things just don't happen all that fast in federal court, and they should not anyway! Okay? I have to run some errands. Take this time to review the STAY MOTION, and I should be back in about an hour, giving us plenty of time to make any changes. Please note in the STAY MOTION that I have added General Counsel and Gavin Chafin to the PROOF OF SERVICE list, primarily because we are now arguing that neither has made a proper appearance in response to your original COMPLAINT and SUMMONS. We, therefore, want judicial determination of this question: did they, or did they not, make proper appearances? If they did NOT, then you can default them with a motion for summary judgment. All of this new stuff should prevent the judge from dismissing with prejudice, because it would be entirely premature to do so, in light of what we are filing today. I hope you agree. If the judge does not agree, we have excellent grounds for appeal and remand, to hear your issues as explained in the STAY MOTION. We also have a FOIA suit pending, now that we have submitted proper FOIA requests; this is the main reason why I continue to reiterate citations to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(B) in almost every pleading. I want to drive this point home, until I can get case law from a Circuit Court. Of course, as you already know, this particular question is now before the 8th Circuit in St. Louis. But, don't expect a ruling from them for about 2 years; that is the informal feedback we have received from the Clerk of Court in St. Louis concerning Gilbertson's massive OPENING BRIEF, and equally massive questions raised therein.
