He is now in danger of losing at trial on Friday, the tenth of January, because he is not even trying to put on a case that complies with liong standing and clear court orders.
As I type this, he's about 10 minutes away from missing another ordered deadline, below.
The slow motion train-wreck that is (former) Hizzoner Giuliani continues tonight, thus:
. . .The Court ordered the parties, including intervenor, to submit joint pretrial orders, as well as other submissions, by 5 p.m. today, January 7, 2025. 24-cv-06563, Dkt. No. 185; 24-mc-00353, Dkt. No. 219.
Plaintiff timely filed a proposed pretrial order reflecting the participation of intervenor. 24-cv-06563, Dkt. No. 191; 24-mc-00353, Dkt. No. [221]. The proposed pretrial orders reflect that counsel for the Defendant failed to make himself available to meet and confer. Id. Instead, at 4:50 p.m., counsel for Defendant emailed Chambers his exhibit list, and at 4:57 p.m., counsel for Defendant emailed Chambers what he represented were joint pretrial orders agreed to by all parties in both matters. The emailed joint pretrial orders make reference to an attached joint exhibit list but do not attach the exhibit list.
Nothing was filed on the docket. The Court would be within its prerogative to preclude Defendant from offering exhibits that are not contained in the joint pretrial orders filed by Plaintiffs. Counsel for Plaintiffs have not asked for such relief, however, and assuming Defendant complies with this Order, would not be entitled to it.The Court cannot go to trial with two competing joint pretrial orders, and it is not required to go to the effort of reconciling the competing submissions.
Before 9:30 p.m. tonight, Defendant is ordered to serve Plaintiffs and Intervenor, by email to all counsel appearing for Plaintiffs and Intervenor, his proposed exhibit list in each of these matters, as well as any edits to the joint pretrial orders submitted by Plaintiffs.
Failure to do so will result in waiver of the right to submit exhibits not otherwise included in the filed joint pretrial orders. Defendants counsel is also ordered to meet and confer with Plaintiffs counsel tomorrow morning at a time before 11:30 a.m. selected by Plaintiffs counsel (which Plaintiffs counsel should provide by 9:30 pm tonight).
Plaintiffs shall file revised joint pretrial orders on the dockets of each of these cases by 2 p.m. tomorrow. No other pretrial submissions will be received by the Court (except for the response to Plaintiffs motions in limine), the time period for any other such submissions having expired.
Signed by Judge Lewis J. Liman on 1/7/2025. . . .
His filing extension expires at 9:30 PM EST tonight -- ten minutes from now. And nothing is on the docket, at all. He's. . . definitively DOA (without this filing) on the Florida condo / homestead question, and the Yankees World Series rings question. Oof.
