What's more, they didn't even dismiss the complaint, just ordered them to resubmit it without it. Anyone claiming they dismissed didn't bother to read the article.
There are a lot of absolutely terrible judges out there, which I'll never dare to excuse. But this particular instance isn't anywhere on that level. The judge is merely saying to cut this bullshit out and resubmit it without it.
From the records:
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff's complaint (ECF No. 1) is STRICKEN. Plaintiff is directed to file an amended complaint, containing the same allegations as the original complaint, without the cartoon dragon by no later than May 5, 2025.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall not file any other documents with the cartoon dragon or other inappropriate content.
Use of this dragon cartoon logo is not only distracting, it is juvenile and impertinent. The Court is not a cartoon. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff's complaint (ECF No. 1) is STRICKEN. Plaintiff is directed to file an amended complaint, containing the same allegations as the original complaint, without the cartoon dragon by no later than May 5, 2025.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall not file any other documents with the cartoon dragon or other inappropriate content.
Hours of your life and fractions of your soul.
Honestly though, when the prices get significantly high, both sets of lanes are backed up to hell and it doesn't really matter.
