Embed Notice

So it seems that on November 12 -- the day before Judge Batten was to sentence Robert Purbeck (aka Lifelock), Purbeck filed a pro se motion for the judge to recuse himself. The motion made all kinds of arguments about supposed conflict of interest and wrongdoing, etc. etc.

But the motion didn't get docketed until November 14.

And on November 13, when Judge Batten went to sentence Purbeck, neither Purbeck nor his attorney even mentioned any motion to recuse.

Today the judge ruled on the motion, noting that he had not even been aware of it until this morning, but was denying it on multiple procedural grounds, adding a footnote that "Although denying the motion on procedural grounds, the Court notes that
Purbeck’s motion is littered with factual errors, rendering the motion meritless."

That's such a professional way of saying "he's full of shit." I'll have to remember that one.
