uh--- a motion to stay is not an order to stay. unless it is set with an understanding everyone holds off until heard, pinnacle screwed up.

as this grinds through the process, the lawyers on both sides get rich, Karen Irby will get her due and the Irby clan will wring their collective hands in agony...

Pinnacle is not the A team. Never figured out what they did for their substantial fees. As for their lawyers, who knows? Seems wells has been in this train wreck forever. Also seems a conflict for him to "represent" Pinnacle under the circumstances.When the smoke clears, Karen will have Irby's and Pinnacle by the short hair. Default will probably not be granted, but hearing on the merits, if it ever happens, will be interesting.

Pinnacle filed its responsive pleading, a Rule 12 Motion to Dismiss, on Friday, April 20, three days before the plaintiff presented an affidavit to the clerk that no such pleading had been filed.

Did corlew file notice or entry of appearance?

I think Pinnacle got dragged into this mess by virtue of the fact that one of its officers, Jeff Rickles, had Power of Attorney over Stewart Irby's affairs while he was still living. It's been my observation that when a suit like this is filed, the plaintiff tries to drag everyone with any ability to pay into the fray.

nothing to see here, move along. if a 12b6 motion was filed by the 20th, there is no default. it will be set aside shortly. plus, paragraph 6 in his affidavit says Pinnacle "is not in default".

watch for more flubbery in this one, there should be a lot of it

I believe Pinnacle is involved by way of being the Executor of Stuart's estate. Further, if memory serves, Stuart was somehow involved in the ownership or development of the building now occupied by Pinnacle. How Pinnacle became involved in the Irby big leagues is a mystery. Birds of a feather?

No mystery. Jeff Rickles is with Pinnacle.

Keep digging, you're getting warm!

If the defendant filed a motion to dismiss in lieu of an answer, it is not in default. But the lawyer meant to say "is in default" not "is not in default" in his affidavit. Oops. What probably happened is that the motion was filed on Friday the 20th and dropped in the mail to Irby's lawyer. The eager lawyer applied for a default first thing Monday morning without checking the docket first. Then he got the motion in the mail that afternoon. Oops again. The requests for admission though are not due until 45 days after service, as reflected in the summons. This should all be resolved with a phone call.

I hope she gets everything she's trying for, I don't agree with the pardone, but what happened, . Happened, she's out, and we, and she, has to move on with this mater. this whole conspiracy attempt has backfired on thr Irbys. LOL

What a terrible event this has been on everybody involved.

We need some closure to this whole thing,. Quickly.

I think there should be a trust fund set up for the Irby child, but other than that I can't see that Karen Irby and her family deserve anything from the Irby estate. They sound like vultures. Stuart Irby is dead, after a horrible trauma when Karen killed two prominent doctors who would have contributed greatly to society and would have saved many lives.
Karen's marriage wasn't of long enough duration to justify a lawsuit to indulge Karen's apparent greed in this run for the Irby money.

The Irby's have been the victims of the aftermath of the death of two physicians, and in the death of Stuart Irby, and now they face this outrageous attempt to rob the Irby family members of their rightful inheritance. I am perplexed that anyone could support this travesty.

I cringe everytime I think about Charles' prayer request for Karen that he posted on Caring Bridge. They are always eager to fix someone else while the plank is their eye blinds them. I've been told karma is a bitch!
