Yes there is some disconnect there, you and I and everyone else have been pointing out that one has nothing to do with the other, but it could be the last straw he was grasping at? However he says he has abandoned that line of reasoning.
Similar, yes, this would be the equivalent of a complete breakdown resulting in probably that side's suggesting a dismissal with each side to bear its own costs. Would I accept? or let it run its course and then later ask for attorney's fees? I suppose it would depend on whether I was representing plaintiff or defendant (yes KewlJ, there is a difference between the two).
You know, UNKewlJ did mention a dismissal of his backrooming case. Perhaps that was the only grain of truth in the whole matter, that after some attempts to get something out of the casino, nothing came of it.
MP, have you noticed that as the days have worn on there's less and less of "I can't say this or that" and mostly just a weak, "I won't" - in other words, less trying to explain why the "case" has anything to do with why he can't talk about it, and more of just plain, "I won't talk because I won't."
