Briefs
I've been working all afternoon on a brief objecting to what should have been titled "Application for Post-Judgment Interest" but was instead creatively titled "Motion to Reconsider Correctness of Journal Entry of Judgment and Motion for Order Nunc Pro Tunc." I suspect the creative title was because he missed the deadline for the application, what he should've filed, by several months. Unfortunately for him, Oklahoma statute clearly states that not specifically awarding interest in a judgment is ok, so there's not need to modify or correct the judgment as entered.I wanted to write my brief as follows:
"It is Defendant' s position that Plaintiff's attorney is too stupid to live, and should be immediately shot on sight as he is wasting precious resources with every breath he takes."
Which I sorta did, phrased a bit more nicely...with statute and case citations in support.
Incoherent writing by attorneys really annoys me. This was so badly written that it took me over an hour to even figure out what his argument was...and the fact that he cited, with incomplete citations, superceded (replaced by new ones) statutes didn't help any. Freaking moron. No wonder attorneys have a bad rep.
