More Pugilistic Sleight Of Hand. How Special.

A while back we talked to you about PAR asking the Court for “sanctions” against certain locals because PAR essentially says that they have been victimized by the Nally’s and these “others.” We said their whining was more than ridiculous (we actually used a bit more-pointed language), especially considering the predatory way PAR principals go about their business. You can catch up by clicking and reading it HERE.

Well, after PAR filed the baseless motion to dismiss and the tear-jerking request for sanctions, the Nally’s asked the Judge to “strike” the filing, as in toss it out, appropriately arguing “it is without lawful authority, impermissibly seeks to raise new claims and issues and impermissibly seeks to contest [Nally’s] claims….” In other words, it is a complete waste of everyone’s time and certainly the city's resources.

The Judge obviously agreed. As you can see by clicking HERE, he granted the Nally’s motion to strike, tossed the dubious filing and told PAR that it has 20 days to file an answer to the Nally’s claims. In other words, let’s get to the meat here guys. Oh, and gals of course.

So does PAR take the hint?
Does PAR decide it is best for all concerned, particularly the city they say they love, to stop the unproductive misdirection and stick to substantive issues of Comp Plan interpretation? Do they buckle down and supply the court with authoritative legal support for the opinions of their land use experts, opinions that just happen to conflict with those of equally qualified experts for the Nallys?

Oh, if only.

Nope. Just two days after being spanked by the Judge, PAR filed yet another of its now customary demands for private emails sent to or received by numerous private citizens and having nothing, zero, zip to do with the central question in the case, interpretation of the Comp Plan when it comes to density calculations. As you can read by clicking HERE, PAR demands emails and other documents that have no bearing on the substantive aspects of the case and arguably seek nothing to which PAR is lawfully entitled. Just more intimidation and distraction, the pugilistic sleight-of-hand approach to problem solving.

How special.

Stay informed.
