While I wait for The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin to file his omnibus response to the defendants’ motions to dismiss his second amended complaint in the Kimberlin v. The Universe, et al. RICO Madness, I thought if might be interesting to review the story of his vexations federal lawsuit by reposting some of the highlights of the past year’s coverage. Here’s another early from Hogewash! concerning that lawsuit.

Team Kimberlin Post of the Day

(c) Service.
…
(2) By Whom. Any person who is at least 18 years old and not a party may serve a summons and complaint.
Also, the “summons” that accompanied the complaint was defective on its face.
The first sheet is the notice of the suit. It does not have the case number on it. Neither does the summons. Also, Kimberlin had given me zero days out of a minimum of thirty to reply to the waiver for service, and it’s dated the day before he handed it to me.
The summons itself is not signed by the Clerk of the Court, so it’s not valid.
What this boils down to is that I haven’t been served with the suit because the wrong person handed me unfinished paperwork.
Durum hoc est sed ita lex scripta est.
Fail.

The Gentle Reader can see from this post that TDPK began diddling with service of court papers from Day One of the lawsuit. This as continued. Indeed, the Certificate of Service on the last court filing he bothered to send me is not the same as what he filed with the court.
Diddlers gotta diddle…
Forget FCRP. Let’s go by Hazel.
I wish you could sue him for defective service. And that every proven issue, whether remedied or not, cost him, say, $100. That would make it so that he would actually had to bear the burden of things. That’s fair I’d say.
Wow, talk about your diddled service. Levy et al. withdraw as ace’s attorneys as of 9/25. The court sends a new summons to ace c/o Levy on 9/26.
Wow, just wow.
I dunno Earl; looks like goose sauce to me. “Sorry Mr. Kimberlin, the mail confuses us. We tried to send a summons, but Levy doesn’t represent Ace anymore, and we don’t know who Ace is, REMEMBER?!?!?!“
He can sent it right back to the court.
Hard to figure out what is going on here – this could be a hoist on his own petard thing. He wanted to be rid of Levy, and he is. And the judge said he could serve through Levy.
