If the Judge Coughenour genuinely believes this, what’s the argument that each of the 5 lawyers shouldn’t be sanctioned under Rule 11?

2/ FRCP 37 allows courts to order a number of sanctions against a party that fails to comply with court ordered discovery, including, "directing that the matters embraced in the order or other designated facts be taken as established for purposes of the action, as the prevailing party claims"

Paraphrasing here...
Kagan: Assume this is completely illegal EO. How do the courts actually stop it?
Govt: Certify a class action.
Kagan: You'll argue there's no class to certify under FRCP.
Govt: Yeah true.
Kagan: So how else?
Govt: Have every individual affected sue.
Barrett: Seriously?

3/ There are some interesting options in the rule. We'll see what Abrego Garcia's lawyers ask for, but more importantly, just how far the judge is willing to go to maintain the authority of the courts. The sanction mentioned in post 2 is a powerful one. www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/r...

/2 Lemon will appear in Los Angeles, CDCA, on the charges out of DMN. To see how thorough the regime is going to beclown themselves watch for whether they demand detention of him the way they did for his codefendants. I assume Lemon will waive the requirements of FRCP 5 and agree to appear in MN.

Frcp, which John Roberts writes, says service is complete upon mailing, not delivery.
So does this argument also apply to tax returns (OK so long as postmarked by April 15), court documents, etc.? Or do we have one standard for ballots, and another for all other government-recognized documents?
Several conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court appear to want to strike down Mississippi's practice of counting mail-ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive afterward.
It would affect more than a dozen other states, including California and New York.

Jones opposed reconsideration motion. FRCP 60 applies, but bankruptcy procedure 9024 is tricky.
FRCP 60b says I can relieve party from final judgement for mistake, surprise, neglect, new evidence, etc. etc. Or any other reason that justifies relief.

The answer appears to be pretty straightforward. In federal court, service of process other than the summons and complaint is governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4.1.

The judge brings up that Remy wanted to discuss "Rule 37"
Rule 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). This is basically "Ron and his client need to cover the costs for all this fuckery"
Judge basically says he's deferring that till this is (84)

FRCP 8 for the win!
A federal judge has thrown out President Trump's lawsuit against The New York Times.
The suit, he says, "stands unmistakably and inexcusably athwart the requirements" of federal court rules.
It is "decidedly improper and impermissible."
