Update

The Kimberly Bracey lawsuit continues to plod along in federal court.  The latest notice states:


CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER. Disclosure due by 1/27/2017; Motions for Amended Pleadings due by 2/13/2017; Motions for Joinder of Parties due by 2/13/2017; Designate Experts Plaintiff Deadline due by 5/3/2017; Designate Experts for Defendant Deadline due by 6/2/2017; Discovery due by 8/2/2017; Motions due by 8/16/2017; Settlement Conference set for 8/16/2017 09:00 AM before Magistrate Judge F. Keith Ball; Pretrial Conference set for 12/8/2017, time to be determined, in Courtroom 5A (Jackson) Jordan before District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III; Jury Trial set for a two-week term of court commencing 1/16/2018 09:00 AM in Courtroom 5A (Jackson) Jordan before District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III. Signed by Magistrate Judge F. Keith Ball on 1/24/2017. (JEJ)
Both sides filed notices of service of interrogatories and requests for production of documents yesterday.  What is interesting is a settlement agreement was placed on the agenda of the Jackson City Council a few weeks ago but it was pulled from the agenda when the meeting started.

Assuming that he is running don't see how this helps Yarber to have the matter unresolved before a primary for re-election.

Why the hell should the taxpayers of Jackson be paying to settle out of court for the Mayor's failure to rein in his - desires? Maybe that should be part of his re-election campaign platform. I can see it now on billboards" RE-ELECT Tony Yarber AS MAYOR OF JACKTOWN! HE'LL KEEP LIL' TONY IN HIS PANTS!"

10:20, you must not know how government bodies work. They consider it cheaper to settle than go to trial. That's why these types of cases are always settled. All someone has to do if they didn't get the job they wanted or if they want to relocate to another place is file a lawsuit. Wham, bam they get what they want. Not opinion, that is what an attorney for any gov. agency will tell you.

@12:50 You and I both know what you said about not getting the job isn't true. You can file a law suit but you and I both know it all depends on who you are, how much pull your family has with the government entity you're suit is against and if you are related to any department head or such as that !

Everyone who has ever worked a govt. job knows the best way to get a better job, not counting being family or paying a bribe, is to be so sorry they want to get you out of the department you are working in.

I googled "legal disclaimer" and found this. I figure it's as interesting as the post above.

For more than 12 years, EWG’s Skin Deep® database has been a practical resource for consumers seeking to avoid exposures to chemicals of concern in personal care products. Building on that effort, EWG has created the EWG VERIFIED™ mark as a means to easily inform consumers at the point of sale, in stores or online, when a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria, going above and beyond a green rating in EWG’s Skin Deep®. EWG’s research team has worked hard to develop rigorous standards to be followed by all products bearing the EWG VERIFIED™ mark, including avoiding chemicals of EWG concern, disclosure of ingredients seldom listed on product labels, and adherence to good manufacturing practices. To learn more about what it means to be EWG VERIFIED™ and/or how to participate in the program, visit http://www.ewg.org/EWGVERIFIED/. For the sake of clarity, you may not use the EWG VERIFIED™ mark without first going through the assessment process and obtaining the requisite approval.

Keep up the interesting posts, Kingfish!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
