This morning, the Virginia Court Case Information System showed the following new docket items in the Walker v. Kimberlin, et al. civil suit:

The two bottom lines show that a defendant (likely TDPK) has filed a couple of responses (likely the pair of Walker motions, including the Motion for Sanctions, to be heard this Friday).

Take a look at the top two lines. Those log Service Requests from the Plaintiff. They should relate to the re-serving of First Mate Neal Rauhauser and Crew Member Ron Brynaert who are also defendants in the suit.
