This is disturbing

I just checked the status of the class action lawsuit, and on 6/25 a document was filed with the court which stated the following:

Docket Text: Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge William C. O'Kelley : Telephone Conference held on 6/22/2007. The parties requested telephone conference with the Court to give status of the pending action. Plaintiff's counsel stated to the Court that he feels settlement is still a possibility. Defense counsel requested the Court rule on [37] Motion to Certify Class. The Court stated that a ruling would come sometime early within the week of 6/25/07. (Court Reporter Lois Phillips.)(dcs)

Then the following was entered on 6/26:

"Docket Text: Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge William C. O'Kelley : Telephone Conference held on 6/25/2007. The parties reported to the Court that there has been a proposed class settlement between the parties. The Court expressed concern over proposed class settlement. The parties stated that they will try and have the settlement complete within the next few weeks. (dcs)"

I thought that the plaintiffs had refused to settle and were going to fight to expose HLA?  If HLA just pays them off, all of this will go away and HLA will continue operating.  Why would they settle?

I agree that it is sad. HLA should not be allowed to continue to get away with the deceptions that they have gotten away with. I can tell you that 200% it is not the school that they sell to parents before enrollment. It is a joke of a school especially educationally. It is so sad how these families fall for everything they are told because they want so much to help their children. Once they have your children there, it feels like a hostage situation because if you withdraw your child early, your child will not get their credits to finish out the school year. I know what I am speaking about because I am one of the parents who HLA duped! I want the $100,000 back!  :flame:  :evil:  :x  :roll:

The settlement has been "proposed" but not executed.

The plaintiffs still say they will not settle without admission of wrongdoing by HLA.  It's not about the money.

The proposed settlement also would benefit about 1000 families - HLA will have to compensate them all under the proposed agreement.

If the suit gets settled in this manner, I have it on good authority that several (maybe a dozen?) families will drop out of the class and file individual lawsuits based on fraud, abuse and neglect.

Keep in mind the goal all along was to have HLA regulated and now they are.  Now they have to play by the rules or shut their doors.  As such, make sure you continue to refer violations to ORS, like the unlicensed "drug treatment progrqam" - HLA will be fined or closed for their repeated blatant violations of Georgia law and ORS rules.

I agree that it should not be about money. It is about making HLA accountable for all their lies, deceptions and blatant dishonesty!  They should not be allowed to get away with what they have been getting away with!!

Settling on the condition that HLA admits wrong doing is like forcing two kids to apologize to each other after a fight.  It is probably the right thing to do, but there is no sencerity behind it.  I really doesn't mean anything if the admit wrong doing.  I will be a way to pacify the plantiffs.  

There is no getting around the fact that if they settle, it proves that it was about the money.  Hypocritical to say the least.

Has it occured to any of you idiots suggesting this was about money, that the judge has sat on this case since January, refusing to certify the class OR allow discovery???
Has it occured to any of you that the plaintiffs may not have initiated this???

If you are denied the discovery process, how can you know basic things like, does HLA have any money or insurance, among other things??
How can you proceed with no information?

How long can a judge refuse to make a ruling on a class? How long can a judge refuse to allow discovery? After all.... he said he hadn't certified a class action since 1974. Why in the world would he start now? Must've been a friend bringing the class in 1974. Anyone know what that suit was about?

Did the judge use/abuse his powers to force a settlement? How long is a reasonable amount of time for lawfirms to 'wait' for a ruling?

THERE IS NO MONEY, IF THIS SETTLEMENT IS APPROVED.  YOU NEED TO READ THE PRIOR POSTING...IT SHALL ENCOMPASS APPROX. 1000 FAMILIES... DIVIDE THAT BY NOTHING AND YOU GET NOTHING. THE REGULATION FROM ORS WAS SEPARATE FROM THE CLASS SUIT AND ACHIEVED AT THE GRASS ROOT LEVEL.

Deborah, you are like the leading idiot of Fornits.  Are you that bitter from losing your job all those years ago?  Anyway lets just get down to fact.  I told you all weeks ago that this thing would be settled and it eventually will.  Why you ask?  Because B&M is nothing but a company of sharks who had been convienced by the crazy lady in Texas and the Sports team owner in Philly that this was a big money case.  So the idiots at B&M took the case on contingency hoping for the big payoff.  Guess what, no money.  Never was.  Now B&M can't get out.  They have to see this thing through even if the case is not classified, which it won't be.  That means they have already amassed huge amounts of time on this case and may have to agree to represent each family individually on an unwinable case with no payoff even if they win.  Of course they want to settle.

Now, since day one this site and the money-grubbing families of the lawsuit have claimed that this lawsuit was about changing HLA.  Well, now HLA is under DHR supervision, many of the staff have gone, and many of the students.  HLA is changed.  So why pursue rather than settle.  Only for two reasons.  Money and/or vindictiveness.  They won't paid and they won't to close the school.  This is a truer picture of your terrorists...wait... patriots.

Love ya Deb, keep up the spin, let lies rule.

johnny ringo - painfully disconnected from reality, already took a pay cut, already took a vacation cut, already lost his bonus and so utterly ignorant of basic facts.  poor johnny.  poor, poor johnny.

keep clinging to it like a life raft, dipshit.  since you can't get a job anywhere else, you'd better hope and pray for a miracle, insofar as god may listen to a fake christian like you who thinks only OTHERS should espouse virtue...

That came across very much like the adults in a Peanut's cartoon. WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH, WA.

and why are you casting stones, ringo?  are you free from sin?  how does your church value your petty nastiness and general ill will towards other?  how about your homosexual behavior?  wife beating? or do you forget how well some of know you?  almost like we were neighbors or something, huh?
