Rule 11 Candidate for the Day – MacArthur v. San Juan County

In the long-running MacArthur v. San Juan County case, the plaintiffs have filed a motion to reconsider in the district court. That’s not the candidate for a Rule 11 sanction. The response to that motion is. It’s captioned “San Juan County Defendants’ Memorandum Opposing Plaintiffs’ Latest But Not Last Motion to Reconsider.” (emphasis added). But that’s not all. The argument portion of the “brief” includes nothing but a quotation from the King James’ Version of the Bible. Huh?!?!

It reminds me of something a very angry person would email in the middle of the night before they’ve had a chance to collect their thoughts and rethink their position with a calmer mind.
