Normally it's not worth commenting on notices of appearances, but…today it is. Drew Ensign files his appearance in the case at 6:20pm, so he will definitely receive notices going forward and can be presumed to have read the docket and prior orders by now.
Well, apparently they claim to have not received notice of the order due to non-appearance. I wonder how things will change in the future.
It's maybe worth noting this is not the first time Deputy Assistant Attorney General Drew C. Ensign's failure to enter a formal appearance in a case has drawn attention. In the D.V.D. litigation before Judge Murphy (D. Mass), plaintiffs objected to his arguing w/o appearing. No dodged orders, tho.
Ooops? At 5:19pm Sunday, Judge Sooknanan, in the midst of all this with the Government's status reports, ordered Plaintiffs to file a status report by 6:30pm Sunday. I missed that, and it appears the Plaintiffs might have, too, because they didn't. Sooknanan Monday at 12:07pm wants to know why:
Like me, Plaintiffs didn't read Judge Sooknanan's order carefully, they say ("overlooked"). Plaintiffs now do not disagree with the Government's assessment that "all putative class members transported from ORR facilities have been deplaned and returned to ORR custody."
If there’s never any penalty he can do whatever the f he wants.
Every day another excuse Every day another feeble judge who lets them get away with it.
