On 5/23/24, Chille's precious appellate brief, tipping the scales at 29 pages, is 19 pages over the ten page limit for Justice Court appeals. The motion seeks to excuse all of these as necessary, and was filed on 5/6/24 with the brief. I am not a Nevada lawyer, so I don't know the approach taken by judges out there. In California, it's usually best to seek permission before you do something, and not forgiveness later. The DA can object to this large brief, and the judge would be concerned about flouting the rules. I'm not sure what path the judge will take here. If she approves it, then she'll have to give the DA the same amount of space. If she opens that door, then more litigants will use this case a "proof" that the 10 page limit can be easily violated with a self-serving affidavit. The "motion" is wafer thin, and seems to excuse the brief, not justify it. Sanctions could be on the table too. We have to thank Our Nevada Judges for providing the coverage on this, and will just have to await the judge's decision. She has the power to strike the brief, make them re-filed it scaled back, or other remedies. I am interested in what she might say about the attacks on Judge Zimmerman and Michael Mee. None of this is legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship will be formed. This is for entertainment purposes, and from the perspective of commenting on a public issue. I am an attorney, but I am not licensed in Nevada, nor am I giving legal advice. I reserve all rights, including those under California's anti-SLAPP statutes.
