SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 14 -- The Prince Andrew story
was heating up, with the Queen after getting
letters from service members stripping him of
his military titles and maybe his immunity.
Kurt wrote a song
about Prince Andrew, the Little Saint Jeff /
Nygard Cay Blues
- when Judge Nathan put Maxwell back partially
in the news.
Most
media wrote only the second of her two orders,
picking June 28 for Maxwell's sentencing.
Would Nathan be on the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals by then? That seemed to be the goal.
But it was the order issued minutes before
that caught Kurt's eye, and his ire.
He
was in the SDNY Mag Court, where earlier in
the week he'd caught the case of a literary
agent charged with cyber stalking, now sending
him threats to sue him or more. Kurt told his
circle in the Mag court about it, and they
asked if they might not get sued too. Then he
learned: Judge Nathan was still withholding
Scotty David's motion. He ran back to the
Press Room.
Judge
Nathan seemed to be gaming or extending the
concept of judicial document. To Kurt, it
meant that any submission considered by a
judge became presumptively public, so that
people could understand how the court made its
decisions.
But
Judge Nathan, just as she withheld from the
docket Kurt's letters asking for a call-in
line and to unseal on the basis that if she
didn't grant them, they weren't judicial
document, now did the same with Scotty.
On
further reflection, Judge Nathan again wrote,
Scotty may not have standing to intervene. But
wasn't that a judicial decision, and the
filing that triggered it a judicial document?
Kurt wrote to Scotty's lawyer, who had written
first to him, to see if he would release his
own motion. No answer.
So
Kurt submitted another letter to Judge Nathan,
asking that it and Scotty's motion be deemed
judicial documents and docketed. Then he went
back to the Mag Court, and to the literary
agent's threats. #MaximumMaxwell.
The larger question was how the "Scotty
David" interviews came about. And now, The Carlyle
Group. From #MaximumMaxwell
