I've already posted Federal District Court Judge John Gallagher's Opinion dismissing a civil rights action filed by NorCo's former custody master, Lisa Tresslar, against Northampton County Court. In its final form, her complaint was that she suffered retaliation for voicing complaints about changes in the court's custody procedures. The actions taken against her were so severe that she claimed she was constructively terminated.
After reviewing the extensive discovery, which consisted of inappropriate text exchanges between her and now jailed Attorney Stanley Margle, Judge Gallagher tossed the suit. He concluded that her claim that she voiced her complaints as a private citizen, and not as a public employee, were unbelievable. He added that, even if that were true, she failed to produce any evidence that the court even knew of them.
I neglected to attach his final order, dismissing her case with prejudice. This means no do-over.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
