OK, well this is interesting to me because it's a case I'm not in so it's easier to take a step back and look at the dispute the way a non-party might.
That letter was too long, that's for sure, not coherently tied together. Had I been her, I would have focused on writing style discrepancies (if any, and there must be some Mary or why would a federal judge have asked you about it, but OK my briefs have I hope improved dramatically during litigation so there is a reasonable explanation) and yes why sent from that address in what Oregon. Fair question. But still maybe no letter would have been best. The judge's warning letter to you was a good development for her, best to leave that alone then. Like what one defense attorney said in California oral argument after my former attorney's blew it and the judge had tentatively ruled against me, judge asked you want to say anything, and she says, "Not unless the Court's ruling has changed" and then the judge said that's what I always say when you're winning best to say as little as possible, which is what I did in VA on 2/25, I think the judge was a little taken aback that a pro se would show up for oral argument and have so little to say, lol, but I had won so wasn't going to do much talking. |
