Type: Civil Rights.
Several defendants dismissed and some plaintiff's claims dismissed, City obtained a protective order at some point
A Settlement was stipulated in favor of plaintiffs on 4/03/1991

He appears on the NM Courts case lookup a bunch of times, mostly divorces and an auto accident. The one cited above stands out. He was sued by the State of NM in BCMetro Court for a parking violation and appeared in the same court on a domestic violence case (NM v. Dilley) in 2006.

So, one civil rights case settled in state courts, a bunch of divorces, parking issues and a domestic violence case charges were domestic violence, criminal damage to property, all charges dismissed in 2006 with the notation, "Pros Unwilling" and no plea.

There may be others, in federal courts, including Mocek v. Albuquerque et al.
The guy's a regular Prince Charming. I'm flying out of ABQ tomorrow so maybe I'll see him if he's still on the job which would be pitiful.

I'll give you a cookie if you run up to him and say, "Wow, you're the guy I keep reading about in that lawsuit! You're totally famous. Can I have my picture taken with you?"

No, make that two cookies. Good ones.

So far I haven't seen a single LEO much less Silly Dilley.

I just sat down and read the entire complaint.

Looks good, Phil.

Will have to hop on pacer and see what the defendants filed for an answer and if a litigation plan and discovery schedule has been filed.

Federal Court, in my experience, is very structured and orderly compared to many state courts.

Will be interesting to see if this goes to trial or if it becomes a "can't comment, but litigation has been resolved to satisfaction of both parties"

I'd personally like to see it go to trial, but most cases never make it that far.

The defense has filed their response to Phil's complaint on February 13, 2012. Real yawner. Acknowledge or admit very little, deny just about everything, request dismissal of entire complaint and award of defense fees. Nothing unexpected as far as I can tell. It's on PACER. Now Pmocek and the rest of us wait some more.

The dispositive motions will be more interesting; the answer to a complaint almost never has anything interesting in it. It appears the TSA defendants have not yet answered; don't know if they've been served yet.

Right, I should have mentioned that. City Defendants and said attorneys are all that have filed the fairly generic answer to complaint.

Only being a novice legal nerd I have no idea what current deadlines are for filing anything in this case. I would like to know so I have an idea when I might find something new in PACER.

Perhaps they're Googling for the right terminology for their response.

This Invision board software seriously needs a 'like post' feature.
