Nevada Gov. Sandoval moves to dismiss Lambda Legal’s lawsuit

May 17, 2012

Motion claims lack of jurisdiction, citing that old chestnut Baker v. Nelson. The brief also hilariously mis-cites Perry v. Brown as Perry v. Nelson. :)

    Why does the last page say that this was filed with the Clerk of the 9th Circuit when it's only at the district level yet?

    I have no idea.

    AFAIK, this placed on the case docket through the electronic filing system. Maybe the attorney used a boiler plate and forgot to change the language?

    I love how they only cite the concurrence/dissent–and not the majority opinion! Someone doesn't understand what "precedent" and "higher courts" means.

    I don't expect the District Judge to do anything with this till we know what happens with Perry, though.

    This reads like a weak motion to dismiss to me, especially with that laughable mis-cite with Perry.

    It also states that plaintiffs allege violations of both the 5th and 14th Amendments. Which, of course, they don't, as the equal protection component of the 5th Amendment only applies to the federal government, not the individual states.

    Wierd! It looks like this was written by someone who WANTS it to be rejected.

    Or yet another tragic case of Drinking and Filing.

    I think it must have been that poor hapless Imperial Country lawyer who is suddenly scrambling to find some work to do. I hate to pile on, but this was embarrassing to the profession.

    I just corrected a typo I had in the title of this post. Thankfully, I wasn't filing with the court.
