Default Reality Bites Gregory Alexander

A note to Gregory. Donna Alarie had nothing to do with Sam Sloan filing his
legal action. It was his idea, he wrote it, decided which parties to join
and decided to seek injunctive relief which may or may not be granted. I
agree with Donna and Harry, that there is much in his complaint to be
concerned about. He may ultimately not prevail, but Sam is not without
brains and courtroom savvy (recall that he argued and won his own case
before the US Supreme Court). Also, the courts generally give great leeway
to pro se parties in actions precisely because they are non-lawyers and the
court will try to protect their rights and interests more so that a litigant
represented by counsel. When Sam goes to court for the hearing on his
motion for injunctive relief, he will no doubt be dressed in a suit and tie
making him look quite different from the average homeless pro se defendant.

I suggest you consult an attorney and follow his/her advice. Under no
circumstances ignore the complaint. A default judgment for $20 million will
be difficult to vacate.
Best wishes, Brian
