Hello Friends,
It has been quite awhile since I have written a “long blog”. So at the prompting of our readers, and some particularly despicable activities perpetrated by General Electric and their lawyers, I have decided to do so.
As most of our long time readers know, I filed an ADA lawsuit against General Electric Co. some time ago. And as many know, it has been a rocky and challenging journey at times. For those that contemplate such a journey, here are some of the perils that you will face if trying to protect your rights against GE in Court:
- Finding a lawyer that will take your case on contingency will be almost impossible.
- Even larger law firms won’t take your case because they say, “We don’t have the resources to fight GE because they will procedurally paperwork us to death”.
- Big firms, forget it, they will say, “we can’t take your case because it is a conflict because GE is or has been our client”.
- If you contemplate hiring a lawyer and paying for it out of your pocket to litigate against GE, I have been told by several law firms to be prepared to spend USD 100K+ before even going to trial. Ugh.
- GE CEO Jeffery Immelt sits at the right hand of Obama as our countries “Job Czar”. Don’t you find that a little scary? I do.
So you see my friends, the deck is stacked against you every step of the way.
Enter the Adversary!
Littler Mendelson Attorneys Constance Norton & Mark Ogden, representing General Electric Company.
These days I am not particularly happy with the antics of Connie and Mark, and for good reason. Recently Connie and Mark have filed a motion to dismiss my case with the federal court in California, why you ask? Because my case is not moving along fast enough to suit their fancy. I discovered this tender tidbit when I was looking at the federal court docket regarding my case. And their timing couldn’t be more impeccable. Why you ask? Because my attorney died a few months ago, so at this point I am “officially” unrepresented, in a legal vacuum of sorts.
But of course that’s not all friends, because in the vacuum of me being unrepresented, Connie, Mark and their cohorts at Littler Mendelson have been busy issuing subpoenas and sending THREATENING correspondence to my physicians. What! Yep, threatening correspondence.
It seems that Connie, Mark and GE were once again demanding all of my Protected Health Information (PHI), possibly for my entire life, from six of my physicians. In response to this assault on my privacy, one of my physicians sent a letter to the court stating his protest of these tactics and that he would not comply with the subpoena unless specifically ordered to do so by the judge. This particular physician was a past target for forged medical releases that were sent to his office by the GE Disability Benefits Center. He also forwarded that important information to the court as well (you can check out that story by clicking on the picture below).
Anyway, getting back to the docket, Connie and company made all sorts of complaints, allegations and their motion to dismiss in secret, thus attempting to deny me due process. What? Now just how in the hell could they do that you might ask? Very simply friends, by sending notices of their filings to my dead layer and not notifying me during my “unrepresented” status. Neat trick!
I am sure that they will have a good answer for this behavior, these types always do. Maybe it will be something like, “But judge, we did notify his dead attorney, we held a Voodoo ceremony to contact him, we sacrificed chickens, painted our bodies in vivid colors and danced like wild savages around a raging fire. We burned copies of the court filings in the fire so that his dead attorney could read them in the smoke, then contact his client in a dream and notify him of our latest actions.
So the saga continues and I will be filing a response with the court soon. I am going to do a very meticulous job explaining all of the “inaccuracies” in Ms. Norton’s Declaration, as I believe that it is an intentional effort to twist the facts and deceive the court. I will post the filing once I get it done and filed for your reading pleasure.
See you soon,
