Holy crap, I know the lawyer for him, he went to State. That's disappointing.

I guess I just lack a certain amount of understanding of law. In my head if you're going to file a law suit you shouldn't be able to do so anonymously.

So who's the third defendant whose name is redacted? Weird. Are they suing another person named in the NOA?

Also not sure why Steve would be named here as he doesn't have the information they are seeking to keep secret.

I hope this crap never ends.

Yep. I know him too. He was also the attorney representing John Doe's previous suit.

And Steve is represented by a lawyer in a firm with the son of Joey Langston.

Mississippi is small, y'all.

The Jackson Jambalaya guy joined in on Steve's public records request. My wild guess is since he also is an attorney that he's acting as his own counsel and doesn't like to give out his personal information on his site.

I'm not sure he is sueing. I think it's basically an appeal that was expected. But I'm no lawyer.

Yep. You're right. Jambalaya had the clickbait headline but then stated what it actually was in the introductory paragraph:

Ole Miss booster John Doe isn't taking his loss at the Ethics Commission last week lying down. He appealed the decision to Hinds County Chancery Court today. Read the petition for yourself.

I'd be doing everything I could too to keep my name out of this CF. It's gone past a dumpster fire to the next level of futility....whatever the hell that is.

I used to make fun of those billboards. Now I'll know to give them a nod and a Hail State.

gpt, this is not aimed at you. But DAMN IT, people, this is not hard. FOCUS! Here is a primer. The process to obtain a public record (like a certain ********'s cell phone records, or a certain ******** university's unredacted NOA) is NOT a lawsuit. The process starts by someone writing the political subdivision a letter stating what record is sought. The political subdivision has 7 days to respond. If the records are not produced, the requester has the option to let the matter drop, or file a grievance with the Mississippi Ethics Commission. This is NOT the same as filing a lawsuit. It is akin to a non-judicial forum without judges where specialized statutory regulations are enforced. Steve and the JJ dude petitioned the Ethics Commission to force the shitheads to release the unredacted NOA. The Ethics Commission drug its *** around but finally ruled that the unredacted NOA had to be produced. To this point there was no court case. To stop the university from complying with the Ethics Commission ruling, the unidentifed uber ******** filed this lawsuit (YES, damn it, it is a new lawsuit) asking the Hinds Chancery Court to stay the ethics commission ruling. Well, I reckon it is hard after all. Anyhow, the JJ dude allegedly has a law degree but never passed the bar exam.

Now it's real clear why the CL hasn't done **** with this case, they were threatened with legal action.

With all the rueing we are supposed to be doing, it's easy to understand why everyone thinks all of our people are getting sued.

Steve said he and his lawyer were ready in case this happened. Not sure what they will do but they expected this.

The're a damn newspaper. They should be threatened, legally speaking, on a daily basis if they were doing their job correctly. The CL didn't cover this because they are a willing accomplice to the OM narrative.
