Judge Martinez Reversed On Forum Non Banana Boat Death

Posted on December 24, 2009
Now that's a headline I thought I'd never write.Actually, it's a very unfortunate case involving a tourist who died riding a Banana Boat in the Bahamas which Judge Martinez dismissed on forum non grounds.The original opinion is here.In a thorough opinion by Middle District of Georgia Judge Hugh Lawson, sitting by designation, the Eleventh Circuit identified a number of serious errors in the district court opinion, including a fundamental one relating to the scope of the relevant inquiry:The district court considered the Southern District of Florida to be the relevant forum for purposes of the forum non conveniens test...

3d DCA Watch -- Geometric Eggnog And Mistletoe Edition

Posted on December 23, 2009
Does anyone really like the geometric pattern of the bunker?I for one do, and in fact I have suggested a few simple modifications to further bring out the angles, the boxiness, the sharp lines that just scream out "we who labor here seek only the truth (and hip early 70s Norwegian building design)...

SFL Monday -- Welcome Winter!

Posted on December 21, 2009
I love walking around downtown when the temperature drops -- out come the sweaters, the turtlenecks, the boots, the scarves, and I'm just talking about my own personal wardrobe.Seriously, it's tough being a federal judge:It's not the lifestyle of a typical federal judge: Five or six vodka cocktails during lunch; gambling with borrowed money; bankruptcy under a phony name, and cash, trips or home repairs from lawyers and a bail bondsman with business before his court...

Christmas Dream

Thanks Joe!

Posted on December 21, 2009
I was running late and stuck in court so I asked my old pal Joe Namath to cover a hearing in Palm Beach the other day.He did pretty good, except his knees kept going out on him -- just like the old days.(Boy things are slow around here).

What Happened To Gary's Bonus??

Posted on December 20, 2009
Boy I've heard some bizarre stories coming out of the Rothstein scandal, misconduct and abuses that can make any lawyer's head spin.But when I read this, I said "now you've gone too far."Have you no conscience? No sense of common decency? Good lord man, what is wrong with you?I speak of this:"I didn't get a single bonus the entire 11 months I was at RRA...

3d DCA Watch -- Zager And Evans v. Du Pont Edition

Posted on December 16, 2009
I think it was in 1889 that Du Pont first pulled the fungicide Benlate off the market, leading to lots of claims and lots of headlines and lots and lots of South Florida lawsuits.Well the bunker is still churning out Benlate opinions, and the Resplendently Robed Ones have today handed a solid rebuke to Judge Donner, who gets to do it all over again, and again, and again, and so on...

Story Idea for Glenn Garvin!

Posted on December 15, 2009
Hi Glenn, I know you're always looking around for story ideas, and you've already done feature stories on a wide range of voices from Glenn Beck to Brit Hume, from Bill O'Reilly to John Stossel.So let me suggest angry crank and former Law and Order actor Michael Moriarty, who gives an unhinged rant about the "left-wing" tilt of the show here?Michael, I had totally forgotten you were even on that show, your part having been completely owned by Sam Waterston...

SFL Monday -- Must Be Santa.

Posted on December 14, 2009
So I biked into work this morning, cigar in hand, across the causeway against a light blue sky and light green sea, breezy birds and boozy work crews, beautiful women and ugly dogs, walking clubs, backpackers, lost tourists, unlit Christmas lights, Chabad Houses, iced coffees, sleeping men and bike lanes that start and stop inexplicably for no apparent reason...

OK, so you finally did something smart.Your latest statement, following two pathetic attempts, was much better:I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children.
