If they don’t figure it out... I foresee Pioneer Days-style justice on the horizon. The return of actually elected sheriffs, US Marshalls, and a well-armed populace that handled their personal disputes swiftly.
The judge said they want the court order under statute B but it should be statute A.
The poor little darlings on the Board of Supervisors- who flagrantly and criminally ignored the subpoenas- haven’t had a chance to look at the argument bless their souls.
So start all over again. Tough shit if you run out of time.
They're saying it needs to be a Subpoena by public officer; contempt:
A. When a public officer is authorized by law to take evidence, he may issue subpoenas, compel attendance of witnesses and production of documentary evidence, administer oaths to witnesses, and cause depositions to be taken, in like manner as in civil actions in the superior court.
B. If a witness fails to appear at the time and place designated in the subpoena, or fails to answer questions relating to the matter about which the officer is authorized to take testimony, or fails to produce a document, the officer may, by affidavit setting forth the facts, apply to the superior court of the county where the hearing is held, and the court shall thereupon proceed as though such failure had occurred in an action pending before it.
My understanding is that they filed the complaint citing an incorrect statutory basis. They need to amend the legal basis for seeking Superior Court enforcement of the subpoena to reference Arizona statute. This means it’s not thrown out, they’re able to amend it and re-file.
This ruling is bullshit.
Mandamus is an equitable remedy and the court sitting as a court of equity can fashion whatever relief is best.
What a cowardly piece of shit of a judge.
They think if they keep stalling they will win.
They are wrong.
So glad to have pedes here from all walks of life.
Pretty soon these people will start winding up dead "by atechnicality"
Oh in minecraft of course
