Be Carefull What You Wish For (update on HPPOA lawsuit)

[HiloJulie]

Is that legal?  Aren’t judges supposed to rule on what’s presented in the courtroom and not outside influences?  Trying to influence a jury is called tampering, wouldn’t it be the same for a judge?  I’m asking in all seriousness.

Writing to a judge is perfectly legal, but no, you can't petition a judge and have them disregard the law. I can't believe the suggestion was even made, but there it is for all to see. Any letter to a judge will go through the court clerks, and the judge will likely never see any letter.  It would be a complete waste of time.

OMG, do NOT write the judge.  He will never see it.  It will be just as embarrassing as when the Board VP and defendant Jeff Finley actually told the Board supporters on FB to “storm the courtroom” thinking that THAT would influence the judge LOL.  Instead, spend your time writing to the HPPOA Board, or better yet go to the Board and Membership meetings.  I cannot believe how many hours Hilo Julie has put into her “forensic” analysis of the court filings, including things that have ZERO effect on these scheduling conference statements.

OK then, FINALLY I see some are paying attention!

I put the letter writing paragraph in there to see what responses I would get.

And yes TomK, it’s there for all to see!

Obviously, judges cannot accept ex-parte communications, and it could be illegal.

I am a bit shocked that the OP never retorted to my letter writing paragraph, but oh well.

So, yes, DO NOT WRITE LETTERS.

I am really finding it interesting about the consistent comments some like to make about “how much time” I have spent discussing this case. I don't need anyone to worry about how I spend my time! Further, when I read someone saying "I cannot believe how many hours Hilo Julie has put into..." I frankly find it to be as much of a hypocritical statement as one could make when you consider the entire waste of time this lawsuit is.

Having said that, YES, the best course of action is to get HPP residents involved. Attend meetings. VOTE.

Elect YOUR Board with thousands of votes, not tens of votes.

There are 20 plus years of history here on PunaWeb about HPP and its Board dysfunction. Has there EVER been a Board of Directors of HPP that HAS NOT been “illegal” “corrupt” “dumb” “stupid” “greedy” or any other term EXCEPT being a good, functional, “looking out for HPP and its residents” elected? 
EVER? EVER? EVER?

Talk about HOURS of wasted TIME. 

And now talk about a 50 plus million-dollar taxpayer funded park for what clearly appears to be a totally dysfunctional group of people that, as hard as it is to believe, actually make the County of Hawaii look competent.

Its time you HPP residents SHIT or GET OFF THE POT!

And Tutu, I’ll manage my time as I see fit, but you should always make sure you properly DATE any legal statement, motion or declaration and make sure they are filed on time.

I really expected at least one Haiku.  Any good predictions for The Superbowl?

Amazing what one can see when they open a closed mind!

Don't bother with the Superbowl.

Watch the Puppybowl instead!
