How is the lawsuit going? Staley vs Missouri AD

[BattleshipTexas]

How is the lawsuit going? Dawn Staley vs Missouri AD, Jim Sterk. Anyone hear anything? I hope she doesn't drop it. I look forward to his deposition. I see it was filed in Richland County. That is in South Carolina. It may be hard to get him served with process if he doesn't ever come back to your state. Using the long arm statute may not work, although that is what she is trying. I hear that the court has ruled that the lawsuit is subject to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), which requires the parties involved to meet with a neutral mediator within 210 days, in this case Sept. 20. I assume there is diversity of jurisdiction that might allow removal to federal court? I would do that if I were his lawyer.

Don't know much about the law, but as wrong as Sterk was, will Staley be able to prove that this caused some kind of harm to her or her program?

It's not necessarily a ruling for this case in particular. A lot of the counties in SC are under mandatory ADR requirements for both civil and domestic relations matters, Richland being one of them. I get ADR notices on all my cases.

Just a few weeks ago, I testified in a trial involving a civil case for which I was deposed in 2013. These things move slowly.

She may not get substantial damages, it can't have hurt the BB program or her reputation very much. But she should get at least nominal damages, prove a point. As someone else pointed out, if one side wants to drag a case out, delay it, they often can. Will Staley still be interested in pursuing this in 2023?

 

[SILVERSPUR-rier]

Her attorney was smart for suing for less than $75,000 in damages, thereby keeping it out of federal court. ADR is mandatory, except in foreclosure actions.

I don't think she's after any monetary damages. She just wants to drag his name through the mud and force him to publicly restract his comments and apologize. If it does get dragged out, I wouldn't be surprised if his University didn't lean on him to get it over with and settle.

It's ridiculous ...get over it

He directly stated that Coach Staley willfully fostered an environment of racial animus... She doesn't have to prove it.. The idiot is on tape... The defamation and damage of such a direct charge from an AD is all too obvious... She doesn't want money from that jerk... She wants a retraction and apology... That's what any decent human being would have offered immediately after the emotional misspeaks

Some people take a lot of pride in their own character and reputation. You clearly do not.

 

[Six Million Dollar Man]

I am sure Sterk's lawyers will try to move it to the venue from which he stated his bullsh!t. Not sure if that flies but if it gets heard in Richland County who would not side with her?

Well, I for one am totally and completely impartial. If I were put on the jury, I would wait until I heard the entire case with all the facts first, and then I would voted in favor of Dawn. But, then again, not everybody is as fair and impartial as me.

Nope, he’s definitely a troll.

I don't think a court can order a retraction or apology. It can award damages. To prove damages, she has to show injury. It isn't enough to say damages are obvious, an amount has to be shown.

I didn't catch that diversity jurisdiction and removal to federal court weren't possible because under $75,000. That was smart on her attorney's part.

But they can settle the case with that as part of the agreement.

I didn't know you could sue for having your feeling hurt......Lol, a philly kid suing over some words

At its oddest, weirdest, and most base core, this is an old white guy race baiting a younger African American woman to put her in her place. Her response is the polite Philly way of saying, "step out back and say that to my face, asshole!"

not sure if i should cry or laugh

 

[winloseortie]

Me either. But please do note, that as soon as Dawn stood up for herself, the SEC, said "Oh crap, we gotta deal with this!" and fined him. And guess what else Sterk STFU and pulled a lame ass "move along nothing to see here."

 

[king ward]

Don't cry.

I always find internet proclamations of toughness hilarious especially when denigrating somebody who is willing to stick up for themselves in reality.

you make my point for me! Of course it doesn't hurt you. You are anonymous avataron on a chat room that suffers no consequences for his words or actions. Let's see how glib you would be if you were slandered in the national media.
