The bottom feeder remark, Robert, is this it?

Notice also how the bottom feeders come to the surface:



Mark Honeywell, a lawyer at Seattle firm Gordon Thomas, which is working with Kosnoff on Robert's case, has 40 boxes of internal Scouts documents that show the organization was well aware of its allure to pedophiles. "There was a time in the '70s and '80s when they were kicking guys out for sex abuse at a rate of three a week," says Honeywell. (Spokesperson Shields wouldn't "confirm or deny" that statistic.) Court documents from this era show Mormon Scout leaders enticing children into homemade "sweat lodges," crawling into the sleeping bags of boys, and fondling children after supposedly hypnotizing them with the code phrase "aliza may daikonoshi."


That poster was talking about the attorney's, Robert, not you.

Great find Jersey Girl. I don't research non-traditional sources; I go directly to the court files. This website seems to select cases of interest. It did not appear on my google search.

The reason for the attorneys quitting on Robert are not described The motion details must have been filed under seal.

The psychiatric files of poor Robert are very revealing about his claims -- very. Things he has told to his doctors. I won't invade his privacy by discussing them here.

One of the most interesting things, however, of his medical records I will reveal. He said that he at one time weighed 400 pounds, but lost most of that when he started exercising. An impressive feat of will. Way to go.

crock,

Thank you for your discretion here. Are you able to say if you think his case held merit or not?

Nope. I have no opinion but have studied the facts to know that Robert says he has had a terrible life.

It is a very strange thing, however, to see a plaintiff dismiss his case and succumb to the limitations statute after his lawyers appear to have made much effort in it, including taking costly depositions. That usually means to me that the plaintiff was convinced he had no merit. If he is not bearing the cost, what other explanation could there be? I mean, he says that he was unable to get a lawyer to replace a lawyer who quits, but a motion to withdraw takes weeks to be heard, and in that period of time it would have been easy to find another lawyer unless, again, the case had no merit. Plus, when a lawyer withdraws, it isn't the end of the case. The plaintiff remains in the case pro se, in which he has lots more time to find a lawyer.

That is about my only observation. I have not asked about the facts or the merits. I was only curious as to why he dismissed his case, and why his lawyers quit on him. He is unwilling to answer. He makes such a splashy entrance, saying he will tell everything, but he will neither address the merits (which I didn't ask him about) or the procedure.
