Another Denial in Stern vs OQuinn
Howard K. Stern attorney Lin Wood requested email communications between freelance reporter Dawna Kaufman and O’Quinn investigators Don Clark and Wilma Vicedomine in the Southern District of Florida defamation case of Stern vs O’Quinn. That motion was denied by Magistrate Judge Robin Rosenbaum.
Stern had argued since some investigative work produced by Clark and Vice was not deemed to be work product because it was shared with third parties, a series of emails between Ms. Kaufman and the investigators should also not be covered under the work product doctrine. After an in camera review of the emails, the Magistrate said those materials are protected and will not be made available to Stern.
Why? Kaufman is the party who disclosed information to Vice and Clark. Not the other way around!
Request denied.
Also, Stern asked the court to set a deadline for deposition scheduling. The Court reminded Stern that discovery deadlines would not be extended beyond September 19th, 2008 and the Court would not be involved in any discovery disputes beyond that date. Plaintiffs were however granted an enlargment of time to file a response to Defendants Dispositive Motion. So IF Defendants file a dispositive motion, the Plaintiff’s response has to be filed on or before October 27th, 2008. Any reply must be filed on or before November 26th., 2008.

In the lawsuit of Virgie Arthur vs Howard K. Stern, Bonnie Stern, Art Harris, TMZ, Harvey Levin, and some bloggers, the case was moved from the Harris County Texas 190th Judicial District Court to the 280th. A docket control order was also filed.

SMACKDOWN!
LOL I love it..
This must be so tuff for Wood to not get an easy settlement from any of these cases.

New doc just added. Wow! Abuse of discretion says Woody!

Thanks QV.. Wow! That was a quick response.
I hope we hear another big fat NO from the Judge to Woody.

I think Woodie was counting on GETTING that easy default judgment! It didn’t happen, so now he’s in a pickle. lol.
I will never believe that either Woodie or Stern want’s this to go before a jury and was counting on Wood’s intimidation into making John fold. Ain’t gonna happen.
And Wood’s reputation in court cases is not good. Although he claims wins for Jewell, he lost the Atlanta Constitution trial, and more recently he lost against Griffin Ind. But the one that always makes me take notice is the fact, that irregardless of any undisclosed settlement, Steve Thomas has NEVER had to RETRACT even one statement or theory in the JonBenet Ramsey affair. Steve continues to talk about what he believes happened, and his book continues to be sold. So what was really won? I hear John Ramsey went nearly broke under the legal care of Wood.
I don’t know a whole lot about Klein other than he is newly married as of 11/2007 (amazing what court documents disclose!), but if John O’Quinn trusts him and Neil McCabe trust him, then I have to believe he’s the right man for the job.

We all know that ANS was not the smartest “cookie in the jar”..seems that HK$ isn’t either! Mr “I want 6%” is delusional if he thinks he will EVER get a penny! All the lawyers in this case will make MONEY {except HK$} Why oh why doesn’t he GET A JOB {naturally I wouldn’t employ him as a lawyer}…but instead of living off his parents income he at least could make an effort!!!
Sadly ANS only cared about herself…HK$ hooked himself to this “failed druggie”…{I suspect that he left Moe & Taz to find her dead while he “swanned” off to buy the boat!}
IMO Howard MUST be charged with NEGLIGENCE…he was in control of the “DUFFLE BAG” of drugs of which many he purchased in his own name…he FAILED to secure them when Daniel came to visit - RESULT - Daniel is DEAD.
He also failed to secure them from ANS - RESULT - ANNA IS DEAD!!
Please wake up America…I realize that everying is about money…but look at the “writing on the wall” evaluate what HK$ did!!!

Poor Howie, he’d better start pimping out Larry to make some more cash as it doesn’t look like he is getting O’Quinn’s moolah!

Probably at some point Lin Wood is going to sue Howie to recover some of his legal fees, HAHAHAHA, BIG SMACKDOWN.

Let’s see, how long has Woody had to get O’Quinns Depo set up ? He looks like an incompetant asshole !
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Hey where are all the Sternies lately, they must be hiding with all this bad news!
October 2nd, 2008 at 7:07 pm

QV, when you get a moment, you just have to post Don Clark’s incredible, fanastic and believavle statement. It is magnificent, and gives us step by step the actions and investigations he undertook to reach the conclusion that I reached when I first heard that Anna was dead.
October 5th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
These recent documents are ones that I have been waiting to read. It takes time to put a case together. IMO Stern and Woody both were used to dealing with people that they could intimate or control but not this time, especially Don Clark.
October 5th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
What I found interesting in Clark’s statement is the part about his sister alledgly discussing the will the week before this court proceeding took place about who get’s Anna’s body. That was the first time I heard that - very, very interesting.

**************************
Mr. Clark’s profile is very impressive and what a class act he is. I did not know about the will either, I am sure there is a lot we do not know about in this case and I look forward to it coming out. Thank you QV for all the updates.

Hi Ladies. I have read some of the docs. The motion itself and Clark’s statement. That was just plain stunning. Absolutely stunning. An amazing overview of a lifetime of service to our country and his and Wilma’s investigative efforts in this case. I am just floored!! Just awesome!!!!
I hope the one hour of tardiness does not upset the Judge (s) and they, will see the effort and sincerity that has been put into solving a mystery whose time has come to be revealed to the world. And of course see that O’Quinn was not messing around when he made the statements to the press. He was convinced by the work of a much respected and highly regarded brilliant man who holds an impeccable record of service to our country and law enforcement. Wow!!! I am so impressed!
