about the lawsuit

[LMJ630]

The class has not been thrown out. You are mis-informed.

Exact text from the court filings:

"Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification [37-1] has been pending since December 29, 2006. The court has not ignored the motion. On two occasions, the court has granted the parties’ request to defer ruling on it. The most recent request came on June 25, 2007, at which time the parties informed the court that they had reached a settlement agreement and would be jointly moving to certify a settlement class.

"Plaintiffs’ original motion to certify has been sitting idle on the court’s docket for over half a year, and, inasmuch as the parties will soon be submitting a joint motion to certify a settlement class, the court sees no reason to leave the old motion where it sits.  Accordingly, plaintiffs’ motion for class certification [37-1] is hereby DENIED without prejudice. As the court made clear during its June 25, 2007 telephone conference, the parties may submit their joint motion for the court’s consideration when it is prepared."

The motion to certify the case as a class action was dismissed without prejudice because the parties involved will reportedly be agreeing on a settlement soon.

For those of you unfamiliar with the law, when something is dismissed without prejudice, it means the following: "to dismiss the present action, but leave open the possibility of another suit on the same claim."

Yes, that is wonderful, however, it took years to get here, and to start over again, with a new set of attorneys re:same claim.  Also, why should
Buccellato settle now?

Thanks, good info, So thats the end of that until someone decides to get the ball rolling again, start over, bring the people together and file a new suit.  This could go on for years!
Who is paying for all of this on the plantifs side?

And the other question is who is paying for it on the defendant's side.  Two different law firms, Quirk and Quirk, and King and Spaulding, have already dropped Dr. Deadbeat due to non-payment of fees, which now mount into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Get in line, boys.

Rumor has it that his personal attorney is handling this pro bono because he has a vested (literally) interest in HLA remaing open.

HLA continually gets by with murder. I cannot believe that they have been able to lie, deceive and make false promises to families while robbing them of their life savings. I can tell you from this instance and others that I have witnessed, there is no such thing as JUSTICE these days. The people with power and money get by with whatever!

The banks prolly already opened up a line of credit/equity for payment to creditors since the suit has been tossed out.  Enrollment has bottomed out and has started to inch upwards (end of the summer is when kids start acting up again, parents are out of ideas since family time didnt work).  Edcons are free to refer so life is starting to get good again for the old HLA crowd.

Still time to start up a summer Bar B Q, get a fresh delivery from J&J foods pull everyone off restriction (after they pick up all the geese crap) and start living it up.

Lets see what happens, Aspen is prolly pissed.  They were hopeing to pick the place up for a SONG and send more kids thru SUWS while they bring HLA up to apsen standards, perfect spot for them.
Sorry thewho your people will have to look elsewhere, you would have been dragged out and killed in the woods anyway so count your blessings.

Please read carefully: the lawsuit has NOT been thrown out.  It is still open and pending.  The only thing that was "thrown out" was the motion to certify the lawsuit as a class action.  The plaintiffs can continue by asking for a trial or settling.  It appears that they are choosing the 2nd option.

Not true..The plaintiff's have NO IDEA what is going on..  We would like to thank Buccellato for letting us know.

Bet your ass Aspen has been negotiating with the little general.  That is an open secret here, and also the hope of us all, except the tight knit circle of ass suckers like Hollowhead and his ilk.  You will be the first one to bite the dust, Jeff.  I'll make sure of that.  And if Aspen buys it, it will be a vast improvement.  It won't satisy the diehards, but neither will it be run by a crook whose only goal is to increase his fortune and rip off every one he can.

Uh...yes it will.  Take a read of the Aspen forum.
