Ok, since we last checked in the Court denied the footsie motion, then plaintiffs moved to reconsider, then Magistrate Judge Brown denied the motion to reconsider (all links are Scribd).
There's a treasure trove of material in there, but I'm going to put up the plaintiff's motion to reconsider, because pound for pound it's a start to finish must-read.
BTW, I scoured the reconsideration motion for the source of this seemingly out of nowhere comment by the Judge in his order denying reconsideration:
The court will not dignify the racial slant with a response.Where did that come from?
Although it took me many hours of careful review, I think I may have found what prompted it:
It must be noted that the only witness asked as to whether or not he had been convicted of a felony and whether or not his employer had represented him in the past, was of the young African-American witness, and not of the other two witnesses.All I can say is since the Court struck the plaintiffs' jury demand this is going to be one very interesting bench trial.

Wait...this is going to be a bench trial? In front of who? Judge Brown!?
I can't believe that these guys have consented to trial before the Magistrate Judge.
trial tip: all black witnesses
I know an attorney at that firm. I think he or she is a wonderful attorney and a lovely person. But I get embarrassed for him or her when I read the stuff that's being filed in this case. It's not the issues, per se (toe tapping), but the written advocacy: the rhetorical questions, occasional sarcasm, exclamation points, bold, underline, font nobody uses. Just really unpolished. The stuff almost reads like stream of consciousness/interior monologue.
i think its now obvious that petey halmos no longer advocating to judge brown ... he's said "fugg it" i'm making a record for the appeal.
Get thee to an editor! Glenn Garvin is available.
It's true. Truth is stranger than fiction.

@8:25- good post. There are some SHD alums there but perhaps they don't work on the toe tap case (by choice?).
i thought you were going to chip in with some decisive insght at the end there, not leave it ugg uk
with ‘we leave it to you to decide’.
