Rule 4.33 "Drop Dead" Application still on schedule for this coming Thursday at 10 a.m. (Grande Prairie, AB time) and stunningly lazy and arrogant Plaintiff Patrick Ross, via his freshly-acquired lawyer, has officially requested an extension in order to prepare the Response Affidavit he's had more than a month to draft and serve.
Fuck, no, for a couple of reasons.
First, as I just mentioned, since Patrick was served with my Application more than a month ago (July 15, to be precise), he has -- rather than getting to work on that Affidavit -- been insulting me on social media, so I'm not in a particularly accommodating mood.
More to the point, it's not clear what Patrick's lawyer would do with extra time since, as I have pointed out more times than is probably healthy, Patrick has no defense. None. Zip. Nada. Sweet fuck all. Here's a summary from the above link:
and I can assure you that there is nothing there that will rescue Patrick, who has now spent the last four years since filing his asinine lawsuit against me doing absolutely nothing to move it along, but did take the time to occasionally brag about it (even as he failed to move it along):
So, no, I'm not feeling in a generous mood and there will be no extension. Let's get into court and get this done.
And for some thigh-slapping entertainment value, here's what Patrick wrote in a letter to my lawyer just after being served with my Application:
That would be Patrick, snickering over my apparent need for adult supervision by hiring a lawyer, shortly before he frantically retained his own lawyer less than a week before the scheduled hearing. How droll.
SPECULATION: If Patrick was still running the show over there, I would speculate that a defense he might try would be to find something I posted on social media and deliberately misrepresent it as my somehow allowing Patrick more time for his lawsuit.
Sadly for Patrick, it was only two months ago (June 19 of this year) that I specifically published a warning that I was running out of patience with him and was ready to file a dismissal motion against his stupid lawsuit:
There is no possibility of misinterpretation here -- I am clearly warning Patrick of my potential plans so he should have taken that seriously. He chose not to, and here we are.

What good would an extension even do??? There is sweet fuck all that Twatrick and his lawyer are gonna dig up in the way to claim some kind of advancement. This is as clear of a slam dunk as there has ever been legally speaking..He's toast!
Anon @ 3:56 AM: You and I and my regular readers here know all that because of the time I've taken to explain the legislation in exquisite detail. But as I have suggested earlier, I'm betting that Patrick has deliberately misrepresented this case to his lawyer, and given his lawyer an inappropriately optimistic take on this.
I could be wrong -- perhaps Patrick's new lawyer *realizes* how hopeless this is, but he's going to represent his client to the best of his ability. Personally, I think that lawyer is going to be unpleasantly sandbagged over the next couple of days when learning how he's been misled. But that's just a guess.
Do you think Patrick told his new lawyer about this blog and all the posts you've written about him and this case over the last few weeks? Do you think he would try to use that as part of a defense?
