« I didn’t know Mel Gibson was a lawyer… | Main | The Daily Memo - 8/3/06 »
You got served!
Via our friends over at May It Please the Court comes this fantastic little find. Last month, it would seem that one George C Swinger Jr. (not pictured at left) was representing himself in a lawsuit (what us lawyers refer to as “pro per”). It would also seem that he lost the case and felt slighted by the judge overseeing the matter. So he did what any good lawyer would do, and filed a Notice of Appeal.
Unlike any good lawyer, however, his Notice was handwritten. And unlike most lawyers, he was a bit more, uhm, flippant in assessing the outcome of his matter:
I hereby am informing you that I am appealing the asshole Ronald B. Leighton’s decision in this matter.
You have been hereby served notice, you’re not getting away with this shit that easy.
Succinct. To the point. This is just fantastic. Cheers to you, Mr. Swinger and, ah, good luck with that appeal.
