Patrick Byrne put it best: Joe Floren screwed the pooch. He filed something containing an attachment he forgot to redact. That attachment is a previous filing of Overstock’s, a filing which contains but a sample of the shenanigans at Goldman and Merrill that has turned up over the course of five years and millions of pages of discovery, but which filing we had redacted when we made it (as good litigants do).Fortunately for the cause of all that is good and right about America, Joe Floren’s goof came to the attention of a diligent 1st amendment attorney in California named Karl Olson, who represents the Economist, Bloomberg, the New York Times and Wener Publications (owners of Rolling Stone magazine) in their efforts to obtain the documents. Karl Olson provided Joe Floren’s sloppy filing to his clients.

30,000 Tickets in 30 Days! So Cal CellPhone Ban With Free Strip Search Deemed A Success!
The SF Gate is reporting CHP gave out at least 30,000 tickets in 30 days — across the state to people allegedly using cell phones or other electronic devices while driving. The huge number of infractions were handed out as part of a masterplan to enforce the state’s so-called distracted driving laws.
Every one of those ticketed automatically qualified for a free strip search — no telling how many folks actually got probed in the process.
Officials say they are simply trying to remind drivers that it’s illegal in California to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle, unless the phone is being used in hands-free mode, or during an emergency.
