Judge gives PL TRO against Freshwater sitters

Judge Dale Reinholtsen granted Maxxam/PL's Temporary Restraining Order against the Freshwater Sitters. Apparently the judge is allowing 24 hours notice to remove themselves or be in violation of the TRO after they have been served papers. Download the PDF file to see the PL written TRO.

A interesting note is that John Driscoll cites that the judge said this or that in the order. Which is a inaccurate statement of his reporting and a lie. The judge was given a proposed order. He crossed out the proposed and filled in the blanks. Though the judge may have signed it, I honestly don't believe it reflects the words of the judge, it reflect the wording of Maxscam/PL's attorneys.

Meanwhile today at the Humboldt County Board of supervisors meeting today, Humboldt DA requested some upfront costs for the $250 million dollar lawsuit which was recently filed against Pacific Lumber. A bay area law firm is assisting the DA's office on the matter based on a contingency based fee. A reporter told someone in the community that the 50-60 logging truck drivers surrounding the courthouse today during the supervisor meetings where given a six pack of beer to attend and no parking tickets where issued by the parking enforcement of the Eureka PD. Kinda a double standard on the Eureka PD's parking enforcement division.
