I don’t want to see anyone making fun of John Grisham lawyer names ever again when you got lawyers named Oprison running around.

The wild — and poorly formatted — motion to Judge Willams seeking a stay pending appeal: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Notably, today's filings only come from Christopher Oprison. The other DLA Piper lawyer to make an appearance in the case is not on either filing today.

INTRODUCTION This case arose from the Internal Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) admitted failure to protect Plaintiffs’ tax information from a convicted criminal. That convicted felon, Charles Littlejohn, deliberately stole and disclosed Plaintiffs’ information, pled guilty, and went to prison. In addition to criminal penalties, Congress created a civil remedy for precisely that injury. Plaintiffs invoked it, the parties negotiated a compromise, and the action was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice. That should have ended the case. Instead, the Court transformed a completed statutory dispute into an improper sanctions proceeding. It incorrectly branded the litigation collusive, mistakenly accused Plaintiffs and counsel of bad faith, threatened professional licenses and reputations, imposed monetary sanctions, and entered a sweeping injunction forbidding future reference to the Settlement Agreement. D.E.106 at 46-47, 52-53. All of that was error. The Sanctions Order threatens free speech, professional livelihoods, and the integrity of judicial proceedings. The ruling rests on a grievous legal error: that, because President Trump supervises the Executive Branch, he and the United States necessarily possess the same legal interest and cannot be adverse to each other. That is wrong. President Trump asserted a personal claim arising from the theft of his own tax information. The IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) represented the sovereign’s interests in public funds and federal law. Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and The Trump Organization asserted their own independent claims. Presidential supervision did not erase those rights or merge those interests.

Cape Fear was certainly a show on television. But for real, people rag on it, but you just have to turn your brain off and enjoy it for its campiness. Plus the cinematography, acting, and set design are all so great.
