NEWS: In Trump's IRS lawsuit, DLA Piper's Chris Oprison and Tal Aburos entered appearances on behalf of Donald Trump, the other plaintiffs, and Trump's sanctioned lawyers a week after Judge Williams's sanctions order. This suggests an appeal is coming. Background: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-irs-...

The man who is basically defined by "never admit you lost" is setting up to appeal something he lost? Color me shocked.

Isn’t Blanche still referring to it as a “settlement”? Was Judge Williams’ order stayed, or should he be in contempt? And if in contempt, how can the court act?

Maybe someday Trump won't monopolize so many judicial resources.

Is his new lawyer’s name really Oprison? Truth is stranger than fiction.

I’m not sure what there is to appeal. The plaintiffs and defendants say the case is dismissed, so no appeal. The judge said there wasn’t a a case or controversy, so no jurisdiction. What relief would the plaintiffs seek? An order to stop the judge from saying mean things about them?

The ... sanctions?

Ответ для Chris Geidner

There are sanctions against the attorneys, and the Plaintiffs aren’t supposed to refer to the settlement as a settlement. There may be monetary sanctions for attorneys‘ fees, but they haven’t been assessed or imposed yet.

So the dead slush fund may not in fact be dead for purposes of Blanche’s confirmation?

does the day end in Y? Trump is appealing.

Ответ для Steven Keppler

Trump hasn't been appealing a day in his life.

It’s also notable that DLA Piper, a large firm, is apparently taking on the case now. Oprison, a partner based in D.C., previously worked in the White House counsel’s office during the final years of the George W. Bush administration. Aburos is an associate who practices out of Miami.

Party over country

Such a trash firm even before this. Always felt like I needed a shower after dealing with one of them.

Ответ для Chris Geidner

* Actually, Oprison is listed as both D.C. and Miami, and his phone number listed is a Miami area code.

At the same time, it might be just as notable that no senior litigation or appellate partners at DLA Piper — heads of practice groups and such — have entered appearances, which is not exactly what one would ordinarily expect when a firm takes on representation of the president.

Chris, was this one of the Biglaw firms that was bullied by the Trump Admin last year?

Ответ для Youngman

They were neither a “settled” nor a “sued” firm, but I’m not sure if they’d been a part of a lesser bullying.
