David Oscar Marcus, local federal courts blogger extraordinaire, brings us this self-explanatory tale of Judge Milton Hirsch 1 denying a self-styled “Emergency Motion”.

This order should be printed as a poster and hung on the wall of every law firm in America. Maybe printed on the back of retainer agreements too so that clients see it.
