Thank you. I have no issues with you and these interchanges while mildly amusing are ultimately pointless; I have work to do; I’m pretty sure we will be seeing each other in the near future. Good night.

And I perfectly understand that having represented attorneys for years and as witnesses and parties in over 30 trials; what I don’t understand is your snarky response; and if that’s how you want to “play” then so be it; I thought I was talking professionally to a professional. How this goes foward is entirely up to you.

Don’t worry Mr. Merritt; I can assure you will be seeing the proof of service very soon; that will be my substantive comment and response; as to your self publication of things I write and say to you, that certainly is your choice; and thanks for sharing your picture—I will be passing that on to the process server who will be serving you soon for the upcoming arbitration. :-)

What a nice “blog.” I’m sure you will post this response also. There was testimony by a witness today in the Eskanos and Adler case today about things you said and asked them for. Don’t worry, I’ll attach the testimony which is Civil Code section 47(b)(2) privileged to your blog site when it is available. Cheers.

Thank you for your email and thank you for indicating that you will not be appearing at what I believe to be your properly noticed and served deposition. I think as an attorney you understand the possible consequences of not showing up at a properly noticed deposition. As you say, I also “reserve judgment” but your cc to Mr. Hankins tells me what I need to know. Very truly yours,

Hey Robert,

It's ... Mark Ellis at ... Ellis, Coleman -- how ya doin'?

... You know that I've ... noticed, and I think now subpoenaed you for deposition. I thought that I'd subpoenaed you weeks ago and I understand that there's some problem with that.

My telephone number is 916 283 8820 [repeats #] ... and I'd be happy to talk with you.

Thank you,

Bye-bye
