Evading Service

  • Law

  • Speaking of people who can’t stay out of the news, Constable John Bonaventura, whose office was recently sued for sexual harassment, is apparently evading service. Ralston Reports has an email exchange between Bonaventura’s attorney, Robert Pool, and opposing counsel Andrew Rempfer
  • Bringing up the Mormon question about Judge Doug Smith and Mark Hutchison seemed to help the case of some plaintiffs suing Health Plan of Nevada. Judge Elissa Cadish, who got the case after Smith withdrew, denied HPN’s motion to dismiss. [RJ]
  • The formal investiture ceremony for U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey was held yesterday at the Smith Center. Did anyone go?
  • A Coronado high school student was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis…any relation to the TB outbreak at Summerlin Hospital Medical Center earlier this year? [MyNews3]
  • The gathering of one of our community’s greatest brain trusts, the construction defects sweeps status hearings, start today. If anything exciting happens, let us know.

Forwarding Jon Ralston an email exchange between yourself and opposing counsel is a dick move, I don't care what the issues are. Totally unprofessional, I would NEVER, EVER do that. EVER.

I agree with you. But I will say that in this context I can't really blame Rempfer. I imagine dealing with Bonaventura and his antics is a pain in the ass.

As someone who has dealt with Rempfer, my heart goes out to him having to deal with someone's antics being a pain in the ass. Not.

I was at the investiture last night. Smith Center is very nice. The new judge is very nice. Win/win!

Judge Earl announced he is not seeking reelection at the CD sweeps this morning.

At the CD Bench/Bar, they said that Zappos bought the building the CLC is in and doesn't want to renew the lease when it expires in mid-2015.

Apparently two good things came from the sweeps and/or Bench/Bar meeting. I generally like Judge Earl, but it feels like it is time for him to go. With regard to the CLC – good riddance. That building is funky and smells weird.

For those of us who are old and less in touch, what is the CLC?

Complex Litigation Center. It is on 6th st. behind the federal courthouse and houses a large courtroom presided over by Judge Earl.
