Ray Nagin & Warren Riley Held In Contempt By Federal Judge
Well thousands of people have been holding Nagin & Riley in contempt but now a Federal Judge has made it official:
A United States District Judge in New Orleans has granted a motion to hold Mayor C. Ray Nagin and Police Superintendent Warren Riley in contempt for failure to provide initial disclosures and answers to discovery in a lawsuit filed by the Second Amendment Foundation.
Judge Carl J. Barbier issued a blistering rebuke to New Orleans’ defense counsel for conduct that is “wholly unprofessional” and warned that it “shall not be condoned.” Judge Barbier ordered defense counsel to reimburse SAF’s attorney $1,365. SAF is joined in the lawsuit by the National Rifle Association.
In his ruling, Judge Barbier noted, “Defense counsel has caused time and money to be wasted by Plaintiffs’ counsel and further admits that he has ‘no good reason’ to explain his behavior.”
This is in response to the lawsuit filled against the city for its illegal gun confiscation of law abiding citizens following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. I will be curious how this will conclude since I feel the city’s confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens is a clear violation of the second amendment.
A tip o’ the cap to Michelle Malkin for the heads up on this issue.
