Funny letter from opposing counsel (CSLG)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 5th, 2017 11:23 AM Author: Metal Library https://imgur.com/q9NNK0n
"Please forward to me all information to establish liability against X. You seem to be up to your old games that you do in every case where you name individuals because you are afraid of federal court. At one point the tactics have to be brought to the court's attention. Also at one point, you have to appear for deposition and not send someone else on your behalf. It is time for you to litigate the case instead of hiding behind others in your firm. I look forward to seeing you at the deposition of your client."
He is defense counsel for huge companies including Macy's, Coco's, Villarta Market, etc.
I've had like 15-20 cases against him for slip and falls and I always name the manager because there is independent liability. He hates that because it keeps the case in state court. Once he removed it anyways and the judge remanded his ass back to state court. He sends me the funniest letters.
It's funny because he hasn't tried a case in years, has his associates do all the depos, and I have settled every case with him so far for good value. |

Date: December 5th, 2017 12:27 PM Author: Stirring mauve rigor spot you name them because it kills diversity jurisdiction which affords a basis for removal to federal court.
You have to have a good reason for naming them separately or you risk the court finding "fraudulent joinder". It's not 'fraudulent' in the usual sense of 'fraudulent'--it's just what the defense has come to be called under the law.
I'm not an idiot and fraudulent joinder is always a risk to plaintiff unless he has some very clear well-alleged separate basis for keeping the manager in the case. I imagine how courts view this probably varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but in venues where the fed court prizes so-called efficiency over everything else it is very much a risk. |

Date: December 5th, 2017 2:31 PM Author: Stirring mauve rigor spot not so sure about this. You can get pwned on it if you don't plead properly under Twombly pleading standard, assuming you've pled negligence very generally under state court standard. Yes, technically, it Should be a hard standard for defendants in fed court, assuming the judge has an eye to following the rules. But again, some judges, in some jurisdictions, will press counsel to articulate the basis for keeping the manager in, and will also apply the iqbal twombly standard to the pleadings associated with same, forcing you to articulate WHY manager should stay in the case. All in the interest of "streamlining." They don't fucking care about what they are SUPPOSED to do--they do what they can get away with.
EDIT: It also looks like the 9th circuit takes a rather generously plaintiff friendly view toward fraudulent joinder claims--you are not likely to find such plaintiff-friendly applications on other jurisdictions.
Please consider this--my point about the twombly standard applying to the sufficiency of the STATE COURT pleading to explain why manager should be kept in -- before you respond w SP is so stupid etc nonsense. |
