I got some new information late last night regarding my cousin situation with his suing my DH employer. Now, this is heresay, so i dont know if this is true given the fact that my cousin and i no longer talk. If you arent familiar with my situation, i posted about it on 10-18-13 called "NEED ADVICE"
Ok, so here goes. I have been informed that he is now taking his case to our State Supreme Court! I have no degree in law or any criminal justice background, but I just dont see how this could even possibly be feasible?? First off, his case was thrown out in County Court because he didnt have enough evidence and now he wants to take it to another level. How would the State Supreme Court even consider viewing this case with no strong evidence? This was just an isolated incident. He was never harrassed at work or bullied, someone made a comment one time. Do any of you know? I dont know if laws vary from state to state?? I wonder if there is a way I can find out if there is a legitimate case that has been filed? This just infuriates me even more! It's like ENOUGH ALREADY!!!! Suggestions? Advice? Thoughts?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

well after much thought, i have just decided to let it go. as much as it hurts me, i have to just let this go. you are right. not worth my time or my family's time. given the fact that he is my family and i did a lot to help him while he was on his last year of prison here. (i picked him up and took him to fill out job apps, i bought him laundry detergent and shampoo when he didnt have any more money) so this is why it hurts me and makes me so upset. and given the fact that my DH put his name out there and put in a good word for him when he had no construction experience and he is deemed a convicted felon. NO ONE ELSE would hire him. He put in apps for 9 months and not one word from any of the companies that he filled out apps too. but my DH being the nice and thoughtful man he is, made one phone call to his boss (he is high up in the company) and said look my wife's cousin needs a job, he just got out of prison, he has a DD to support, can we help him out? That is why i am so mad and hurt. But...... I have to just let this go. Thanks everyone for your honest opinions..... Happy Hump Day!

You should be able to call your court house and ask them how someone would proceed to the State Supreme Court if the county threw the case out. The Clerk should be able to tell you what's possible and what's not.

If you haven't told your husband. You need to tell him now so that his company can prepare.

I would NOT freak over things I do NOT know for sure. However, to be safe - tell your husband.

I realize this is family. However, you can't let others keep the animosity alive.

First, he's probably not going to Supreme Court yet. You first have to go through the Court of Appeal. If denied there, then he could go to the Supreme Court. Let me tell you, it is no fun taking a case to court of appeal or supreme court - lot's of work. He's probably doing what's called a Writ asking that the lower court's order dismissing the case be set aside.

People can file whatever garbage they want to file. The court clerk cannot refuse to file anything that is properly presented for filing. So he can file, but whether or not he'll get anywhere is anyone's guess. Oftentimes the court of appeal and/or the supreme court do see things differently than the lower court. That's what appeals are all about.

There are no suggestions or advice because there is nothing you or anyone else can do to stop him from filing - it's his right!

People say stuff all the time. I know one guy who was always saying he was going to sue this one or that one for some silly reason. He'd be absolutely positive and tell me who he had an appointment with and everything. But he never did anything.

Some people are always trying to find a way to make themselves look important. It will all come out in the end. Even if he does somehow make it a case and it gets heard, what did the company do that was wrong?

I honestly don't see why you are so bothered by it. Does your husband own the company? If he feels a need to "have his day in court"--whether or not you think that it is ridiculous--how does that change your life? I mean, I get it getting under your skin some, because you think that it's crazy, but you seem to be letting this stress you out way more than it should be. In fact, I don't see where you should be stressed at all.

I think that you should go on about your life--especially since you don't talk to him anymore (an extreme response, if you ask me)--and watch it play out from the sidelines.

answers from Portland on

The Supreme Court hears only hears cases on appeal. Since his case was not heard in the lower court the Supreme Court would not hear it.

I, too, suggest that you stop thinking about this situation. There is nothing that he can do that would affect you and your husband. Stop the drama. You don't need it.
