STATUS REPORT OF THE PARTIES REGARDING SETTLEMENT

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DIVISION

JOHN W. FERRON
Plaintiff,

vs.

E360Insight, LLC, et al.,
Defendants.

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Having lost their Motion to Dismiss, Linhardt and e360 have filed their Answer.

In a fun little read, they claim that "marketing is not solicitation" (paragraph 34), a lack of knowledge as to what they were doing (paragraph 46), and a lack of due process (paragraph 48).

The Judge has denied both David Linhardt's and e360's attempt to dismiss the case on jurisdictional grounds.

I think that this ruling is a bit shaky. I say that because the judge here seems to contemplate that the sending of email is an invitation to be sued in any jurisdiction:

Here is Linhardt's amazing response to John Ferron's response to Linhardt's motion to dismiss.

Among other amazing tidbits to be found in this document is a disavowal of his connection to BargainDepot.net (Reply at 1-2, Linhardt Affidavit at paragraph 4). Unless he's got an evil twin, then he's got problems. Possibly with perjury.

This is more or less of a document dump. I don't have the time currently to OCR these documents, but they need public disclosure.
