Another Day; Another Non-Compliant Letter "Motion"; Another Smackdown, From USDC Judge Liman, In Manhattan -- Rudy Chronicles, Continued.


Well. . . surprising no one who's been paying much attention, Mr. Giuliani's Staten Island lawyer was -- for the second time in as many days -- told to learn how to file motions, in Manhattan's federal district courts.

He keeps dashing off very informal letters (which leave some ambiguity as to whether the statements have been verified by the lawyer, or are made, effectively under oath by Rudy hisself). That is why Manhattan local rules require formal motion practice: to prevent a lawyer (or a client) from later saying "Gee, I did not know that was a false statement to the court!"

In any event, the new Rudy four page letter (which I won't link) sought to require Judge Liman to set aside about $210,000 from any sale proceeds, from the NY Co-Op property, at right -- to be sure Rudy could get what the lawyer styled as "a homestead exemption" in one of either NY or Florida -- in cash.

That motion -- even if ultimately made properly -- will fail. Rudy's only chance now, now that he's voluntarily turned over the NY place -- is to get the Florida place exempted. But even then, he couldn't claim cash back from the plaintiffs, here -- he would just be allowed to keep living in the Florida place (or sell it himself, and generate cash -- but then the cash could be attached, excepting only about $6,000 worth) -- as non-exempt asset, subject to the prior turnover orders, already entered.

Rudy will never have substantial assets again, in life -- (absent winning the Mega-Millions!) he'll never be able to pay off the $148 million he owes -- plus interest. [And every time he gets some cash, the Georgia poll workers / mother daughter will get all but 34% of it, as garnished "wages".] He will have to live on only about 15% of what he brings in, as he will owe federal, and state, income taxes on the full amount, but be required to pay them out of his 34% allowances. Forever. And ever.

[To be clear, this would assume he can generate, at a gross level, over $200,000 a year on the radio, or in appearances at MAGA events. OTOH, if he is only earning under $60,000 a year, then his "allowance" will be higher, and his tax burden. . . lowered -- but his net take-homes will put him very near the poverty line. Forever.] Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Onward.
