And That Goes For Women, Too

My longer-term readers will recall that ever since 12/28/20 I was laying blasts upon the DAWSON rollout: “shambolic schemozzle” about sums it up. See, e.g., as my expensive colleagues would say, my blogpost “I’d Rather Not Be Right,” 12/31/20.

But while we approach the third anniversary of that best-forgotten episode, I note Judge Elizabeth A. (“Tex”) Copeland must still deal with the fallout therefrom.

In proof of The Bard’s famous quotation first written at the head hereof, check out Jeremy Berenblatt, Docket No. 7208-17W, filed 12/1/23.

Yup, the same Jeremy Brerenblatt who starred in my blogpost “The Bialystok Blower,” 5/24/23.

Now Jeremy wants his new attorney to peruse the admin record and check out some misnumbered pagination. Except same has been sealed from the world and is lodged somewhere in DAWSON’s impenetrable bosom, inaccessible alike to parties and counsel.

Judge Tex Copeland to the rescue.

“…the Court held a conference call with the parties. The Court explained to the parties that during the transition from the Blackstone system to the DAWSON system, it appears the documents were sealed from both the parties and the public. The Court informed the parties that the Court will unseal the documents so that only the parties may view them. There was no objection from either party. The Court also explained to the parties that the discrepancy in page count noted by petitioner is due to the number of title pages each filing has.” Order, at p. 1.

So Judge Tex Copeland orders the Genius Baristas to let parties and counsel check it all out, but nobody else.

DAWSON’s creek rolls on.
