SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

[rothenbj]

A total mutt. He belongs to my sister, but I get to play with him since she only lives 5 minutes away. My dogs aren't exactly puppies anymore. There's a lot I miss about the puppy stage . . . but housebreaking isn't one of them.

Okay, since you brought up the subject.... I've been helping a friend out by stopping and taking her 5 mo old pit bull to try to help her housebreak him. She's the second owner since the original had it in an apartment that the landlord didn't allow dogs. What she didn't know was the pup is deaf. If you think housebreaking (and everything else) is difficult getting a puppy to be a proper dog, you haven't lived until you experience this.

I suggested she get a vibrating collar (not shock) to attempt to get him to look at you, then get it trained with hand signals. I work with him a bit when I'm there but he seems to have ADHD also. I don't envy her deaf dog and a two year old, whoopi.

Thanks, Julie, (I think). I didn't understand a word of it, something about Pro Hac's vices ??

 

[Vocalek]

Pro Hac Vice
the Latin word which means " on this occasion" or "only this time". Usually it refers to the lawyers who are not a part of the jurisdiction where a certain case is being heard and he/she may want to be the part of the case by practcing in that jurisdiction for this particular case only. The lawyer has to take the permission from the court of that jurisdiction by going for the Motion to appear pro hac vice which is applied by a lawyer who is already a part of that jurisdiction of court. The outside lawyer has prove his/her good standing in his/her own jurisdiction also.

Pro Hac Vice definition

And you thought it meant they were approved to be professional hacks.

Thanks Julie and Elaine, I looked it up on Wiki but Elaine's link explains it better.

 

[JustJulie]

LOL. Sorry guys . . . I had given a brief explanation when I originally posted about the motion, but I should have repeated it in today's post.

Thanks for clearing things up, Elaine.

Does this mean Smoke Anywhere is now part of the case?
Or just that one obstacle has been removed to them becoming part of the case?

It's just my mind today, it went south to find some warmer weather!

I remember now you had explained in the original post about it! My bad!

 

[CJsKee]

Just means their lawyers can respresent them in court, DC2. Judge Leon still needs to OK them joining the suit.

I was hesitant about turning this thread into a blog, but couldn't resist.
