Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Missouri has dismissed a motion to reconsider filed by Ferissa Talley, who filed suit against the Department of Labor as a third-party surrogate for Jack Jordan, an attorney representing his wife in a Defense contracting dispute, after finding no basis for her motions to reconsider the court's decision to stay the case. Jordan had already litigated the issue of whether emails sent from Dynacorp were privileged after they became part of the record before an administrative law judge. Jordan lost his first case in the D.C. Circuit and then lost his subsequent litigation under his own name in the Eighth Circuit. Nothing but persistent, however, he then commenced litigation by using third-party requesters like Talley. Finding that Talley had not shown that her case should be reconsidered, the court pointed out that "plaintiff's motion to reconsider does not seek to correct manifest errors of law or fact and does not present newly discovered evidence." But the court explained that "staying this matter will conserve the parties' and the judiciary's time and resources in that the same issues and arguments will not have to be relitigated while awaiting a decision from the Eighth Circuit."

2020-07-14	106	TRANSMISSION of Notice of Appeal Supplement to US Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit via electronic mail. Related document 105 Notice of Appeal,,,,,. (Terry, Jason) (Entered: 07/14/2020)
2020-07-15	108	ORDER. On July 13, 2020, the Court struck Plaintiff's July 9, 2020 Notice of Appeal (Doc. # 100 ) because she was prohibited from filing anything in this case without prior court approval, and she had not been granted permission to file the Notice of Appeal. However, when the Court issued its Order on all pending motions and entered judgment in Defendant's favor on July 13, 2020, the Court expressly permitted Plaintiff to file a Notice of Appeal. Doc. # 102 . That same day, Plaintiff filed another Notice of Appeal (Doc. # 105 ), which incorporates the decisions included in her July 9, 2020 Notice of Appeal. Nevertheless, on July 14, 2020, Plaintiff's counsel, Jack Jordan, sent an email to Chambers staff, which he was prohibited from doing (see Doc. # 102 ) and sent an email to the Clerk's Office. In both emails, Jordan questioned the Court's authority to strike Plaintiff's July 9, 2020 Notice of Appeal. The Court's ruling stands. Moreover, Plaintiff, in her July 13, 2020 Notice of Appeal, has already appealed the decisions she sought to appeal in her July 9, 2020 Notice of Appeal. Again, Plaintiff and her counsel are prohibited from filing anything further in this matter or sending emails to Chambers staff. In addition, Plaintiff and her counsel shall not send emails to Clerk's Office employees. Now that this matter has been appealed, any inquiries shall be directed to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Clerk's Office is directed to file Plaintiff's counsel's July 14, 2020 emails, strike those filings, and retain a copy of the filings under seal. Signed on 7/15/2020 by District Judge Ortrie D. Smith. This is a TEXT ONLY ENTRY. No document is attached. (Moore, Terri) (Entered: 07/15/2020)
