To be sure, Weisberg exercised very poor judgment; (q) By refusing to withdraw a frivolous motion, Weisberg forced counsel at a major Philadelphia law firm to do legal research, write a formal response, and then file it -- all at a cost to Max; (r) Weisberg also wasted the time of this Court and, in turn, the United States taxpayers; (s) Weisberg's poor judgment is compounded by his request to file a supplemental brief; (t) Expecting that Weisberg would use this opportunity to withdraw the petition, we granted his request; (u) It was thus surprising indeed when Weisberg subsequently advised us -- just ten minutes before his brief was due -- that he had decided not to avail himself of the very opportunity he himself requested; (v) In short, Weisberg's actions reflect a blatant disregard for the time of opposing counsel, his client's adversary, and this Court, and he would be well-advised to change his ways the next time he appears in federal court, 1 It is hereby ORDERED that: 1. Plaintiff's petition to remand is DENIED; and Case 2:06-cv-01544-SD Document 12 Filed 05/25/2006 Page 4 of 5 [line][font="arial,sans-serif"]Page 5[/font] 5 2. Defendant's request for sanctions is DENIED. BY THE COURT: [align=left]/s/ Stewart Dalzell, J[/align]
