Two Minute Warning
12-10-08 In the morning I got a Fedex copy of a fax from Sirote and Permutt, which they were letting the Judge know that they had set-up the coference call and it had a tollfree number and a passcode. After I got this letter, I called the Court Clerk and ask them how this conference call was supposed to work. The Clerk said it was implied that they (meaning Sirote and Permutt) would call me once they had the Judge on the phone. 3:00 came and no call. 3:05 came and no call. At 3:07 the phone rang and it was a female named Pam who said she was a secretary at Sirote and Permutt. She ask it I had received their notice about the call and if I had the passcode and I told her I had. I told her that I had talked to the Clerk and been told to wait for their call. She said they had the Judge on the line and I needed to call the tollfree number and use the passcode. I hung up and called.
Someone answered and said there were two parties on the line and it was being digitally recorded. The call lasted about two minutes. Judge Coody said we were at a point that we needed to end this or go on and he was prone to end it. He ask if we had agreed to make the preliminary injunction and permanent injunction. I told him that we had agreed on that when we had our "Status Conference" of November 18th. Didn't really matter to me at this point since it was pretty much moot, since the season was about to be over and with the poor perfotmance of the team there wasn't lots of enthusiasum and everybody was more focused on the possibility of #7.
Judge Coody commented that I had continued to "file" things since we seemed to have agree to settle this matter. I informed him that after Sirote and Permutt and I had discussed settling this and we had both filed out settlement agreements, that they had continued to file things. So I needed to respond and when the Court did not act, time went by and I had a deadline to file my "Response" to the Plaintiff's original "Complaint' and that I was not going to get caught in a legal techincality so I went ahead and filed my "Response". I also told Judge Coody that when Sirote and Permutt filed their settlement papers the included a "Permanent Injunction" that they had prepared for the Judge to sign and in this "Permanent Injunction" they said that this was "final". Judge Coody said he would be preparing his own injunction and ask again if I had agreed tor the "Preliminary Injunction" to be made a "Permanent Injunction" and once again I said "Yes". That was the end of the call. Click.
12-08-08 Today I got an order from Judge Coody by regular U.S. mail ordering the Sirote and Permutt gang to set-up a phone conference call at 3:00pm on December 10th for himself, me and the Sirote and Permutt. I guess we're movin' again.
