Reuters reports that an Illinois judge has dismissed a U.S.
Cook County Judge Kathy Flanagan threatened
to impose sanctions against Ribbeck Law firm if they file future motions
without a legal basis.
According to Joe Leeds, a US Attorney in Thailand , the decision of the Illinois Judge was likely based on lack of standing and
lack of jurisdiction. “Before filing a motion to procure evidence, you must
have standing before the Court. This means that there needs to be an official
complaint filed and accepted by the Court before a litigant can file motions for
evidence. For the Court to
accept a complaint, the Plaintiff must establish that the Court is the
appropriate jurisdiction or location where the complaint should logically
filed. Apparently, no court complaint has yet been filed, nor has the Illinois Court accepted jurisdiction in the case.” states Leeds .
