Both of Tho Dread Pro-So Kimberlin's vexatious lawsuits in which I am a defendant are

grinding their ways through the state and federal courts. Given the frivolous nature of

TDPK's complaints, I havo optimistic expectations concerning the final results of the suits.

There have boen several recent developments that lead me to believe that Brett

Kimberlin is becoming desperate. Indeed, it seems that panic has driven him to turn the

stupid knob up to 4+ 12.

All is proceeding as I have foreseen-and I hope to be able to share the details of some of

TDPK's latest mistakes before long.

Stay tuned.

UPDATE-As I've noted above, good legal strategy prevents me from publishing everything

I know about. However, I've been given clearance to share this example of TDPK's going

full-Acme.

Mr. Kimberlin:

As you'll recall, yesterday you sent me your Rule 11 motion, saying you would file It in 21 days if Twitchy didn't withdraw Its "motion" (by which I assume you mean, the Supplemental Memorandum). As you'll further recall, I declined your request forwithdrawal, and copied several of the 20+ co-defendants on my email to you, along with a copy of your proposed motion.

While I suggest Mr. Hoge Is best positioned to answer your specific question, I will say I see no problem whatsoever with any of the defendants you have sued making any lawful use they wish of a baseless motion you drafted, sent to two of thedefendants, and threatened to file, While you're of course free to press your case through any permissible means you choose, I would suggest that if you don't want defendants publicizing your Rule 11 motions, you send defendants no further Rule 11motions.

Yours,

mfs

As quote below, Mr. Hoge has updated his post to say that he has been 'given clearance" to post the Rule 11 motion that has not been flied or placed on Pacer. Would you please confirm that you gave him such clearance, since I do not want to make any factual misrepresentations to theCourt. Thank you, Brett
