If recently summoned, just answer it and wait!

[SoulPower]

I got a summons. I researched Pacer thoroughly. Anyone can tell you that all Dave is doing is filing lawsuits and hoping you don't answer the summons so he can immediately jump on this NON-ANSWER and get a default judgement against you. Every summons that has an ANSWER in reply to it, just sits idle. I saw where a couple of people answered the summons as far back as April 2002, and no further action has been done by Dave. Bottom line is, don't go out and pay thousands of dollars to hire an attorney, just write your answer to the Summons, sit back for a year or two while Dave ponders whether or not he gonna take those cases that where filed a year and a half ago to trial. The way I look at it, while I'm sitting back waiting for Dave to serve me the ball, I got at least a year and half to see what the Courts decide to do with Dave's frivilous lawsuits.

If this were true, then there would be not be a case where a judge has dismissed 18 USC 2512.
That is just one example.It would not be hard to find more.
Cases are being pursued.

[Lager]

No case has been decided before a judge or jury to this date. The dismissing of the third count was a pre-trial motion. There are many cases over a year old and still nothing that has gone to trial.

Here is another link to point out that not all cases are sitting idle. Like I posted, it's not hard to find them.

Sitting idle and getting before a judge for trial are more than a little different.

I don't quite get your last post.
SoulPower said that "Every summons that has an ANSWER in reply to it, just sits idle"
That statement is not true.
"sits idle" was SoulPower's choice of words to which I was responding. I don't understand why you are talking about going before a judge for trial.

None have proceeded past discovery, I would call that pretty damn idle, especially for a suit over a year old...Lager and the creater of this thread are dead on, just answer the summons, beg them to bring it on...Another great thing that was done in Ohio is to challenge the multiple suits under one name, its an easy grounds for dissmissal, make them re-file...which they wont do if they know you already gave an answer to their earlier suit, they are totally fishing for defaults, they want to go to trial less than the defendants do!

have not had a reply from them. I am going to contract my lawer an tell
him to see what the problem is.The people are by rights to have a quick an speedy trial.An i wont mine over or default on the charges.

You should tell the guy in the cubicle next to you to keep his voice down. Then you wouldn't have to pass along this 'news' and get people all scared.

[Lager]

Sounds like you and your neighbor have been in the same space for awhile.

first place.

here we go, another I Told you So by REDx :mad:
wish I had a nickel for every time I've read that from you.

Give it a break! You reak of BS. spewing the same garbage over and over.

If you have any personall experience That would be fine to share info. but this, I know it all, I warned you so, ---- just stinks!

Why dont you just step back and let the people who have more experience try to help some people, because all I see out of you is gloating on "I have warned you all".

My #1 point here is that many people in this community have known about the risks of this hobby. warned or not they rolled the dice.
If you do not have any real constructive advice, From experience, please step back and stop trying to rub it in everyones face!

[REDx]

my advice has always been get a lawyer
at the letter stage. ya dont like may
advice fine dont read it. roll the dice as you
say. im tired of reading dont worry dtv wont
do anything. first it was the letter, they said
dtv wont sue ignore it. now that dtv has sued
its file a answer and forget about it dtv will
just drop it.

Geez, lighten up Mrass.
This is a forum, a public venue for open discussion.
Not a place to bash people.
And definitely not a place to get legal advice.

[Boojer]

After you answer the summons it won't sit idle. Daves attorneys will file a case management report. It takes 3-4 months.

Redx, do you have some case numbers we could take a look at via Pacer??

[slowpok]

You are exactly right. It gets very old.
I guess you just have to skip right over to the next post.
Saying something like you did just brings out the dooms day crowd . . .full of information and very little experience.
Then after they jump on your back . . . the thread closes???? What's up with that?
