Defendants’ Protective Order GRANTED?
-
Protection against some of the document requests, Nancy. As I wrote, this was a technical order by a Magistrate Judge.
The case has not been decided by Senior Judge Moon.
-
A DISCOVERY protective order. More about emails and phone calls. Without question, if this goes to trial, the case will rise or fall on the plaintiff’s behavior unrelated to this one incident and its follow up. If UVA establishes a pattern, he’s likely to lose.
The fact that so many requests have been made and denied makes me suspect the case lacks any “smoking gun” evidence that he was targeted for his opinions, and the fishing continues.

His girlfriend is a smoking gun.

re: ” if this goes to trial, the case will rise or fall on the plaintiff’s behavior unrelated to this one incident and its follow up. If UVA establishes a pattern, he’s likely to lose.”
that’s what I have gotten out of some of the commentary – that this guy scared the bejesus out of folks….
and Sherlock mentions “Red Flag” which we are starting to understand is really not what some folks think.
We don’t put restrictions on people based on what they say/threaten – that’s the theory but the reality is it seems pretty rare and the actual process is somewhat inscrutable.
-
We issue restraining orders based on what “folks say/threaten” every day, Larry.
-
we do but not for the types of issues we are seeing now Red Flag is a joke it does not stop people from getting guns who clearly should not have been able to.

As a (retired) hospital CEO for 30 years, I have more than a casual interest in this matter. Where can I get the relevant information for this case. Thanks.

Here at BR… if you don’t mind the obvious slant.
Google his last name, “Bhattacharya site:baconsrebellion.com” and all of the articles will appear.
There are some things to know going in:
The authors of the related articles are all self-loathing UVa graduates from the 1960s who blame the school for everything wrong in their lives, and, uh, um,… well, there’s only one thing to know, I guess.-
Thank you

A loose screw

Funny, the girls say, “slow”

You are welcome. The tendency toward the Lewis Powell view of education taints the stories.
My view is that the military does psych-evals before giving some grunt a gun to kill the enemy so the LEAST a medical school should do is the same before giving someone a scalpel and a prescription pad. Dr. Swango, call your office.

The discovery protective order that is referenced here is at the link in the article: https://www.baconsrebellion.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/BHATTACHARYA-v.-MURRAY-Civil-Action-No.-319…-20220511a49-Leagle.com_.pdf
Other than that, you can get the first finding in this case that eliminated most of the original complaints but retained the first amendment compliant at http://www.vawd.uscourts.gov/OPINIONS/MOON/bhattacharyavmurray.pdf

Reminds me of the old TV show Naked City where a single case of the 8 million is highlighted. Interesting for one episode. Other than adding to the usual suspect’s (UVa) involvement, what is the “regional, state, and local public policy” that is of concern?
-
Go away.
-
Did you say ouch? My, my, sensitivity touched when the soap box isn’t high enough.
-
I think I said moron.
OK, Judge Moon is a nationally-respected jurist. His reasoning in this case will be referenced in the absolute tsunami of federal free speech cases that will come about new red flag laws.

It’s what they do here in BR. They find a “case” then it becomes the central issue….. 😉
-
Ain’t got a clue what the issue is other than UVA.
-
A protected constitutional right of the individual vs. the rights of a state institution to protect the safety of its faculty and preserve the integrity of the medical profession is the issue.
Pretty much the same issue with a different defendant that will be in play for all federal cases that will be brought by citizens who think they were railroaded under red flag laws.
I know that’s small ball to a legal giant such as yourself, but we try to muddle through here in Virginia.

Thanks for sharing. Did read the background section. Change some of the names into Cyrillic letters and the story would be even more familiar. The ideological ancestors of these folks tried to destroy Patch Adams, after all, and his only sin was he was funny. Tell me again why all you folks are so determined to continue your love for that school?
Unfortunately, I’d say the student fell into a trap, let the insanity get to him and pushed back when he should have just dropped it and bowed to the winds. He gave his enemies what they needed to hang him. Again, the Patch Adams story: Conformity is King.
-
As I wrote, this is a very tough case. The bulk of evidence is not available to the general public, but rather to the judge.
Glad Judge Moon is on the bench, but it won’t matter to whichever of the warring political tribes feels he is wrong. Most won’t read the decision, they will just read about it in their tribal news outlets.
Cue the outrage, regardless of the decision.
-
Because W&M hasn’t a medical school? And EVMS instituted a “black face” prohibition.
I don’t think the insanity “got to him”. I suspect he brought it with him. See Auora Theatre suspect.

Thanks, Judge.
-
Hence the coming trial.

As Mama used to say, “Wish in one hand, spit in the other, and see which fills first.” Or, maybe it was what she said about wagons and dead horses?
-
My Dad says something very similar, except he uses a different word that rhymes with spit…

Me Mum were a lady
