Now THIS is Superprecedent
In considering a Motion to Compel Acceptance of Lunch Date, Arizona’s Judge Pendleton Gaines ruled:
The Court has searched in vain in the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure and cases, as well as the leading treatises on federal and Arizona procedure, to find specific support for Plaintiff’s motion. Finding none, the Court concludes that motions of this type are so clearly within the inherent powers of the Court and have been so routinely granted that they are non-controversial and require no precedential support.
That’s superprecedent, in the Landes-Posnerian sense of the term!. Praise be to Overlawyered, which posted this Wednesday. More background courtesy of the WSJ Law Blog.
