Here’s an update

For those of you following the lawsuit against me, you may know that in June, I “removed” the case against me to federal court in Minneapolis.  This is like transferring the case, from the state court system, to the federal court.

The case was “remanded” (like being transferred back) to the state system, but I was never really sure where it landed.

I re-removed the case back to federal court.  And that time, two different cases were filed.  (This was for technical reasons which I won’t bore you with at this time.)

One of those cases was ordered “remanded,” but there’s a dispute over whether the final technical piece (a clerk’s letter) was every performed.

That meant one case was (according to some) back in the state system, while one remained in federal court.

I appealed that order to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, and asked that court to “stay” the remand (meaning make it not occur), and to prevent the enforcement of the ‘ethics’ rules that were the basis of the allegations against me.

I have been litigating many years, but I must say that what occurred at the Eighth Circuit was confusing.  Suffice it to say that today, I removed the case from the Eighth Circuit to the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin.  You can read here why I did that.

The “second” re-removed case (in Minneapolis) was ordered remanded back August 15.  But again, there is dispute over whether the final technical piece ever occurred.

The Minnesota Supreme Court issued an order anyway, which was objectionable to me.  So I removed that case to the Western District of Wisconsin.  Here’s why I did that.

I also filed a separate (original) lawsuit in the Western District of Wisconsin.  This one you’ll find interesting, I think.  I want to believe that no harm will come to me form having filed this lawsuit (it is the right thing to do), but I have had some bad experiences bearing witness to problems in the court system, and I have to say I have my trepidations.

I know that this is a lot to take in.  It’s kind of hard to follow the ball right now.

But stay tuned, and more will become apparent.

I also represent a client who filed a motion today with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (this was to hopefully send the case back down to the district court for a type of reconsideration of the case in light of new law), and a motion at the district court to re-open it.

So, lots has happened, and this just begins to bring you up to date.

Look for more news as Jill Clark continues…

Getting back in touch

Many of you know that I started this blog to be able to share with you information and documents about the lawsuit commenced against me and supposedly about “ethics.”

You may also recall that I was unable to share much with you, and that dragged on for some time.  It was frustrating for me, I am sure it was frustrating for many of you as well.

This is an attempt at a fresh start!

Hopefully, I hope to begin (and continue) to share documents with you, as well as information about the lawsuit.
