unusualsuspect Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 That's why I sent them so many. There are about 11 core questions I want them to answer. But if I only ask those, they will be objected to fiercely. I'm hoping they will skip over those or line up a scenario where I file a motion to compel on just those 11.

admin Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Wow - very impressive - I can't wait to see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueq Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 But make sure you read and local Federal Judicial Rules on SJ.Some districts and even some judges inside the district have their own rules in relation to SJ.Make sure you follow them.I'd slap them with an SJ, it sounds like you got them "dead to nuts" on it.Once you file that, I think they will be more serious about a check.

nascar Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Jan 9, 2009 - I filed suit for FDCPA violation against LVNV in District Court in Las Vegas (I'm officially a resident of NV). Jan 12, 2009 - Filed lawsuit against attorney in District Court in Las Vegas. Would that be in the Federal District of Nevada, or Clark County District Court?

admin Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 How's this case coming? I thought I would try looking it up online so I could check status, there's been no activity on this thread for awhile. Is there some info you left out as far as case description? I checked both the San Bernardino County, CA and the Clark County, NV court sites and neither one has a record of the case(s) described. I also cross-referenced LVNV suits in San Bernardino County with LVNV suits in Clark County for matching "other party" names. There were no matches.

Ms_Nomer Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm trying like hell to figure out state/federal laws and civil law court requirements when defending self pro se... it is my understanding that civil procedure dictates interrogatories be within a certain limit (wayyy under 100?) If interrogatories are between parties, how would the judge limit them? Please shoot me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentWA Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Because if you submitted 100 to them and the rules only allowed 25 they would object to them and you would have no recourse via Motion to Compel since you violated the rules.However there are ways to get what you want by asking enlarged questions rather than very specific ones.

admin Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 It's weird that I couldn't find any record of it, though. That stuff is all public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
