Jeremy Alters Is An Obama "Bundler"?

Among the usual list of big money Obama bundlers like lawyers Chris Korge and Kirk Wagar is none other than Jeremy Alters, who despite firm squabbles still managed to raise somewhere between 50 and 100k for the President's re-election.

Small change compared to the big boys, but it'll still get you a seat at a State Dinner honoring Chancellor Merkel.

Your Friday Sanctions Order!

Order Granting Renewed Motion for Default

This is the sanctions order in the Chris Korge/Claudio Osorio matter before Judge Manno Schurr we talked about the other day.

I must admit it does paint a pretty bleak picture of discovery abuse.

Happy Friday!

Can Someone Explain This?

Judge Valerie Manno Schurr appointed Mark Meland as a receiver for a company after finding it in "default" for failing to turn over financial records to South Florida power broker Chris Korge, who is represented by Kendall Coffey.

Huh?

Was the "default" a discovery sanction?  Did the Judge strike the defendant's pleadings?  Is that what the "default" means?

How do you get from a discovery sanction to the appointment of a receiver?

Even if the obligation to turn over records was contractual, as opposed to arising from the defendant's discovery obligations, I'm not following how a finding of "default" leads to the appointment of a receiver to run the business.

Maybe Bob Zarco, who represents the defendant, can explain this one, because something seems off about this story.
