Special Can-You-Believe-This Blinky Trivia Panel:
<q>
In 2006, Federal Judge Gregory Presnell from the Middle District of
Florida ordered opposing sides in a lengthy court case to settle a
trivial (but lengthily debated) point over the appropriate place for a
deposition using the game of rock-paper-scissors. The ruling in Avista
Management v. Wausau Underwriters stated:
Upon consideration of the Motion - the latest in a series of Gordian
knots that the parties have been unable to untangle without enlisting
the assistance of the federal courts - it is ORDERED that said Motion is
DENIED. Instead, the Court will fashion a new form of alternative
dispute resolution, to wit: at 4:00 P.M. on Friday, June 30, 2006,
counsel shall convene at a neutral site agreeable to both parties. If
counsel cannot agree on a neutral site, they shall meet on the front
steps of the Sam M. Gibbons U.S. Courthouse, 801 North Florida Ave.,
Tampa, Florida 33602. Each lawyer shall be entitled to be accompanied by
one paralegal who shall act as an attendant and witness. At that time
and location, counsel shall engage in one (1) game of "rock, paper,
scissors." The winner of this engagement shall be entitled to select the
location for the 30(b)(6) deposition to be held somewhere in
Hillsborough County during the period July 11-12, 2006.
