As the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. nuisance LOLsuit was coming to an end in state court, Brett Kimberlin began trying to get a temporary restraining order in the federal RICO Madness LOLsut against the state court defendants who common to both cases. However, the federal suit was under a case management order, so Kimberlin had to ask for permission to file for the TRO, and he asked for an unusually long schedule for the filing. Judge Hazel said, “No,” pointing out that if the matter is important enough for a TRO, Kimberlin needed to get his paperwork in promptly. He set a drop dead date for filing.

The reason Kimberlin wanted more time than usual was that he had planned to take a vacation in Hawaii with his wife and her two daughters. BTW, he lists his salary on the Justice Through Music Project IRS Form 990 as $19,500 a year, and he told the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals last year that he should be given a pro bono lawyer because he has to makes do on his JTMP pay and a small bit of Social Security.

The TKPOTD for eight years ago today was about Kimberlin’s response to the judge’s instructions.

Thursday, 28 August, 2014, was the drop dead date for The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin to either file his motion for a preliminary injunction in his Kimberlin v. The Universe, et al. RICO Madness or to inform Judge Hazel that he was withdrawing his request to file such a motion. Failure to do one or the other was not an option, but it seems that was the course TDPK chose.

No new filings showed up in the case docket on PACER on Thursday, but if something had been filed at the last minute or put in the after-hours drop box, it would not have made it into the system until Friday. There was nothing new on Friday either.

I was informed by my lawyer in the state Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. nuisance lawsuit that TDPK had threatened to file an additional federal lawsuit against me and my state codefendants for some unspecified cause of action. (Mopery with intent to lurk?) That suit was also supposed to come on Thursday as well, but no new case had appeared in PACER as of Friday.

I’m beginning to wonder if Brett Kimberlin has caught on to the fact that his associate Neal Rauhauser’s theory of lawfare has several fatal flaws. First, it won’t work when it is used to attack someone or some organization with a combination of deep pockets and deep principles. Second, it won’t work against a pro se defendant with the time, intellectual resources, and stamina to engage in the kind of legal judo necessary to turn the lawfare back on the plaintiff. Third, it won’t work when it is used to attack so many defendants at once that they can overwhelm the plaintiff with their filings in reply to his complaints and motions.

TDPK hit the trifecta with his RICO Madness. Maybe he’s learned his lesson.

And maybe not.

He is making noises about appealing his loss in the state lawsuit.

Stay tuned.

Losing that first state case wasn’t enough. It took losing the RICO Madness, RICO Retread, and RICO 2:Electric Boogaloo LOLsuits for Kimberlin to learn to stop messing with me, and he had to lose the RICO Remnant and RICO 3 LOLsuits as well before he finally gave up on trying to use lawfare for reputation management.
