Chirlane, where are you?

>Users can ignore or even block these inquiries from their feed. But the police can still obtain private footage through a court order or directly through Ring. Such requests to the company are for life-threatening emergencies and are regularly denied, a Ring spokeswoman, Mai Nguyen, said. [emphasis added]

What?! There's a life-threatening emergency and you deny the video?

How dare they charge money.

Not necessarily. Some do a good job, e.g. the Law Journal, Times, WSJ.

What they mean when they say, "I don't care what the Court of Appeals said?"

>Anyway, if they don't rule correctly, doesn't that just give the losing party ammo to put in their appeal?

Do you think judges should deliberately ignore the law and force litigants into the cost and time of an appeal?

Thanks, but no thanks. Some judges are very petty and have been known to take revenge against lawyers for much slighter things.

Today, I saw one name on the ballot for Justice of the Supreme Court of a judge who personally told me he or she does not care what the higher courts have ruled.

I refuse to be registered in any party and I refuse to vote for judges that I as an attorney know are incompetent.

I loved that WSJ article where they showed not only all the extra fees added onto an Airbnb bill but the surprise chore list from the homeowners, e.g. scrub the bathtub before you leave.

What did Amazon and Bezos do?

Not the same people.

By all accounts he treats his employees well and he's been successful.

> Is Balthazar worth going to these days . . .?

I would say so having been a customer since the opening. Other good McNally restaurants are Minetta Tavern (French food) and Morandi (Italian) also Pastis (co-owned with Stephen Starr, French bistro).

Since out of towners do read this sub from time to time they should know that every word in your post is fiction.

> Shitty to his staff

> If you need proof just take a look at his entire Instagram. He doesn't even hide it.

Maybe you should read his Instagram. There are numerous postings of employees who are called out as having worked for him for 15, 20 and even 25+ years. Frequently, these posts are supplemented by comments from customers who praise the staffers.

I climbed to the Crown in 2009 after the second major reconstruction. It's an incredible experience and the view is spectacular.

In other posts OP has claimed to be an American and a New Yorker.

How did you get an F1 visa without room and board arrangements?

Good to know. Take a look at the post I just made and see if you agree.

While Lexis publishes many articles that are useful to lawyers, reading them without a legal education can result in misunderstandings such as yours.

The numerosity requirement means that there are so many members of the class that each one bringing a separate lawsuit is impractical. It does not mean that you need 100 plaintiffs or, indeed, any minimum number.

What you do need in a class action is one or more people who will be representative plaintiffs whom the court believes will *adequately and fairly protect the interests of the class."

That's why the caption in a class action usually reads something like, John Doe, on behalf of himself and all persons similarly situated v. Big Company, Inc. There will then be a section of the complaint that defines the class, e.g. "The class consists of all persons who purchased the defendant's product called Better Widget between January 1, 2022 and its removal from the market on October 2, 2022."

Incidentally, the document you cited refers to the federal rules for bringing a class action in federal court. Class actions can also, in some cases, be brought in New York State courts. See CPLR Section 901 for the basic rule.

So, you're a professional represtative plaintiff?
