3:29 PM est: CNN is now reporting that nothing of any evidentiary value has been found. I guess we wait.

It appears the Class Action suit against Lin Wood’s new law firm has “conditionally” been transferred to the Northern District Court in Texas.

Also, the latest two douments from Florida

There must be some type of disagreement about either the settlement, the language or both. The judge has filed an “order to show cause”.

“Plaintiff shall file a joint stipulation for dismissal or show cause why a joint stipulation has not been filed on or before November 19th, 2008. Failure to respond may result in dismissal of this case”.

Now that Howard K Sterns defamation lawsuit against Houston attorney John O’Quinn is tentatively settled, it appears the wheels will start turning in Virgie Arthur’s defamation lawsuit against Howard K. Stern and CBS Studios in the Southern District Court in Houston Texas.

There has been a protective order issued by Judge Lee H Rosenthal in the case, just as there has been in all the other cases that have arisen out of the tragic death of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel.

One of the sections of the order says “confidential information shall not be used for purposes other than in connection with this case”. However, we saw Rita Cosby in New York who is also being sued by Howard K. Stern, freely hand over her deposition as well as those of investigators Don Clark and Wilma Vice to the Florida case.

Howard K. Stern was the only person who objected to having his deposition used from the Cosby case and he is the Plaintiff in both cases. Not too long after, the Florida case is tentatively settled. Could the same happen here?

Being that I consider myself to be an honest person and am not afraid to admit when I am wrong, I feel that its only proper to clarify the mistake that I made on the previous article.

I relied on the site www.justia.com on the amount that Cave and company is being sued for. First of all, being tired when I wrote the article, I printed “Trillion” instead of “Billion”. Here is the link to “Justia” who on their site says the Plaintiffs are asking for five billion dollars.  http://dockets.justia.com/

The actual lawsuit document does not list a specific amount of money they are asking for. It does however say they are asking for “more than 5 million dollars”.

When Bryan Cave files their answer to the lawsuit, I will make sure that I publish and write about it. Judging by the number of huge companies such as AIG who are involved in this suit, Justia’s estimate just may be correct if the Plaintiffs previal. However, both sides of the story should be heard. And they will be. I apologize for the confusion.

The numerous lawsuits arising from the death of Anna Nicole Smith are all moving forward. Notable is that most of these suits have protection orders in place for at least a year and a half so the public will have to wait to see some of the more supposedly sensational material.

In Howard K. Stern vs Rita Cosby and Hatchette books, investigators Don Clark and Wilma Vicedomine gave depositions. Counsel for Stern in the Florida case of Stern vs O’Quinn requested to use not only those depositions but that of California Private Investigator Jack Harding who says he spoke to Anna Nicole’s son Daniel before his death. Harding says Daniel expressed fear and mistrust of Howard K. Stern’s involvement with his mother. When Daniel died unexpected and tragically in the Bahamas visiting his mother and meeting his newborn sister, Harding’s business card was found in Daniel’s pocket.

O’Quinn offered no objection to the use of those depositions which are protected from public view but Georgia defamation attorney Lin Wood for Stern would not allow Stern’s deposition to be used. Counsel for Rita Cosby also allowed her deposition to be used in Stern vs O’Quinn. Don Clark gave a deposition in Stern vs O’Quinn as well for a total of two that will be looked at in the Florida case.

A customary mediation hearing in Stern vs O’Quinn scheduled for today had to be postponed due to Florida attorney Robert Klein suffering from the flu. A call was made to Sterns counsel Lin Wood that went unanswered so Klein asked co-counsel Krista Barth to reschedule the hearing. She refused to reschedule but an emergency motion to Judge Rosenbaum resulted in the hearing being postponed.

Life and Style Weekly featured a Larry and Dannielynn Birkhead article this week. Birkhead and Dannielynn are shown packing up the house where they live in Studio City California. Birkhead says he purchased a 10,000 square foot house in his hometown of Louisville Kentucky. He said he will sell the Studio City house and purchase something else in the vicinity. In the meantime, he will spend time in Louisville. His reason for moving is that Dannielynn needs to be able to play outside with her friends and her mothers home has no yard and is situated over a canyon.

Don Clark

COUP DE GRÂCE:

DON CLARK’S AFFIDAVIT SAYS IT ALL

Summary: Former FBI special agent Don Clark has submitted into the record an affidavit in which he reveals his findings at the conclusion of an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel. He concludes that Howard K. Stern was “intimately involved” in their deaths. His affidavit and its contents are now part of the legal record, which has been the objective of many, including this writer, who have believed Mr. Stern may have been responsible for the deaths of 39-year-old Smith and her 20-year-old son.

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.   Read the rest of this entry »
