Federal Judge Wants You to Know She’s Sick And Tired Of Whiny Lawyers
There’s a patent infringement lawsuit in Houston that’s been going on since 2011, and the honorable Vanessa D. Gilmore can’t take it anymore, notes Quartz.
“This is my oldest and least favorite case,” Gilmore, the federal judge presiding over the case, wrote in an order. “Please stop trying to become my least favorite lawyers.”
Quartz reporter Justin Rohrlich quotes from her order (showing the original boldface): “The court is in receipt of the parties’ whiny letters,” Gilmore wrote. “What is wrong with you parties/lawyers? Just STOP IT!”
A request for an extension of a filing deadline led to the judge’s rebuke.
