Hard for me to tell much without reading the docs. It did strike me as bad that the judge let the plaintiffs redo their complaint. Usually they just dismiss the case since there is no comeback on appeal in a civil case unlike criminal. The appeal court will just tell you that you have an issue with incompetent representation. That suggests an agenda.
On the plus side, he did not already rule on the defendant's motion to dismiss from the bench. If judge vano could have ruled against QMC offhand, without handing QMC grounds for appeal, he would have done so. Like Florida there must be some merit in this argument. Is the 2/25 date for this motion for oral arguments? Probably some law clerks will be working lots of OT finding an obtuse argument to deny QMC without handing them grounds for appeal.
A real oddity is the plaintiff trying to quash their own depositions. I wonder what is in them that they want them off the record? Just a wild guess; but evidence helping QMC along with their 100 mil lawsuit in TX? At the least they deposed themselves and argued against their argument. Why else would they want them off the record?
What a circle jerk this is. It's a credit Mr. Squires is still cool with all that is being thrown his way. Everyone trying to break him before he can secure the future. The next few years will be very crucial. I feel bad for him. The people trying to buy him out real cheap have likely long since sicked the dirty private detectives after him with a variety of illegal tactics to obtain intelligence and intimidate. I wonder how much the current stock price is manipulation?
