What a ClusterFudge

Gaston can't get K, G and H to participate in their own defense or even to allow G & G to quietly withdraw from the case so they're asking the Judge to let them walk instead. Why does this remind be of the trouble Tripp Keber had with MJNA or the troubles Charlie Larson had with MJNA or, let's face it the very long line of people who got involved in some way or another with MJNA and went on to want Llamas et al the hell out of their lives.

8. Additionally, Gaston & Gaston, APLC has notified Defendants/Counterclaimants of its intent to seek relief as counsel in this action due to their lack of meaningful participation. Gaston & Gaston, APLC has advised
Defendants/Counterclaimants, all of whom are corporate entities, that they are unable to appear pro se in this matter pursuant to Southern District Local Civil Rule 83.3(j). Defendants/Counterclaimants have been repeatedly encouraged by
this office to seek new or additional counsel to represent them in this matter.

All this talk of K, G and H not wasn't to hire additional counsel and perhaps trying to represent themselves pro se make me think there might be a money issue. When you think about all the lawsuits MJNA is fighting right now their legal expenses would seem to be a rather significant drag on their bottom line. Their sham of a lawsuit filed against Project CBD and others will never put a dime in their pockets and with G & G complaining that:

6. Additionally, Counsel has just been made aware that
Defendants/Counterclaimants and their agents have initiated discussions and sent correspondence to Plaintiff and Counsel for Plaintiff without notice to Gaston & Gaston, APLC and without allowing Gaston & Gaston, APLC to participate in such discussions. Gaston & Gaston, APLC did not advise
Defendants/Counterclaimants on such communications. Such communications without the knowledge of counsel undermine the attorney-client relationship.

Makes me think K, G and H are trying to cut the attorneys out of the loop to try and cut the cheapest settlement that Cannavest will except. I loved this part:

11. A supplemental declaration detailing the disagreements between Gaston & Gaston, APLC and Defendants/Counterclaimants is available to be submitted to the Court under seal for in camera review if the Court requests additional evidentiary support.

I read this as " I can tell you a whole lot of other stupid crap my hopefully soon to be former clients have been doing but entering them into the public record might adversely affect our ability to attract new clients but we're more than happy to tell the court in private.
