Does that mean the court will enter a default judgement against him? My friend is a state marshal, I am sure he would love to collect it for you.

He doesn't think you're serious enough.

Mark knows the law. He knows open carry is illegal and this lawsuit is frivolous. He knows it will be dismissed just on the very basis of it's merit.

It kind of makes you wonder if you did something wrong...anyway, file a motion for a default judgment without delay and see what happens. Do it quick in case the Defendant is scrambling to put together a legal response to correct his error. Don't sit around wondering what happened.

Good luck.

As far as I know, he still works in Cheshire. He has admitted in depositions that he is aware that OC is legal.

Essentially, he claims he was 'just following orders'.

Did ya post his deposition transcripts? (humor - I remember reading a protective order ruling from the judge about his point before where they got 99% of their protective order and request for sanctions pounded into the sand).


If I recall, you were carrying in a business, folks complained but did not ask you to leave initially and after a second complaining by the business then you left, the cops came by and then arrested you for disorderly and other stuff that never even made it to a trial. And then you filed a complaint in federal court, 42 USC 1983 or similar action (I don't recall all the counts of the complaint).
