Someone forwarded me the following information and asked me to see
that it was publicized.
As of October 8, 2003, yet another one of Ray's cases has been
tossed:

And again, the mighty Ray Gordon litigation train blows its whistle
at 7 am as it steams out of the station, only to derail in a
spectacular wreck. The engineer of this catastrophe is Gordon Roy
Parker, alias Ray "Continued and Inexcusable Failure" Gordon.
For those of you not wanting to look up the case, here's the
details, lightly edited off the above website. (Addresses and
telephone numbers appearing on the site have been deleted from this

NORMAN
Docket Entry: It is hereby ORDERED and DECREED as follows: 1.
Development of Joint Statement of Uncontested and Contested Facts.
(a) Plaintiff's Proposed Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and
Legal Issues for Trial. By 6/25/03, plaintiff shall provide the
Court with a narrative statement listing all facts proposed to be
proved by him or her at trial in support of his or her claim(s) as
to liability and damages. Additionally, plaintiff shall provide the
Court with all relevant conclusions of law based upon his or her
proposed findings of fact and any and all legal issues presented
thereto. (b) Defendant's Response and Proposed Facts. By 7/25/03,
defendant shall provide the Court a statement: (1) indicating the
extent to which defendant contests and does not contest the
plaintiff's proposed facts: (2) listing all additional facts
proposed to be proved by defendant at trial in opposition to, or in
special defense of, the plaintiff's claim(s) as to liability and
damages; (3) listing all facts proposed to be proved by defendant at
trial in support of any counterclaim(s), and/or third-party claim(s)
if such claims exist; (4) listing any and all conclusions of law
which arise from all contested and uncontested facts as proposed by
the plaintiff; and, (5) listing for the Court all legal issues
presented based upon proposed facts and conclusions of law. (c)
Statement of Uncontested Facts. By 6/25/03, the same date as that
listed in paragraph 1 (a) of this order, the parties shall submit a
joint statement of uncontested facts. This statement is separate and
distinct from any other submitted. As such, agreement or
disagreement, which terms are defined below, with any proposed fact
by a defendant does not obviate the requirements of this paragraph.
2. Identification of Witnesses and Exhibits. (a) Plaintiff's
Witnesses. By 6/25/03, plaintiff shall provide the Court with a list
of all possible witnesses, including a brief narrative of each
respective witness's expected testimony. (b) Plaintiff's Exhibits.
By 6/25/03, plaintiff shall provide the Court with a list of all
possible exhibits which he or she may use during the course of
trial. (c) Defendant's Witnesses. By 7/25/03, defendant shall
provide the Court with a list of all possible witnesses, including a
brief narrative of each respective witness's expected testimony. (d)
Defendant's Exhibits. By 7/25/03, defendant shall provide the Court
with a list of all possible exhibits which he or she may use during
the course of the trial. 3. Definitions. (a) Narration of Proposed
Facts. In stating facts proposed to be proved, counsel shall do so
in simple, declarative, self contained, consecutively numbered
sentences. In a case with multiple parties, if a fact is to offered
against fewer than all parties, counsel shall indicate the parties
against which the fact will (or will not) be offered. (The facts to
be set forth include not only ultimate facts, but also all
subsidiary and supporting facts except those offered solely for
impeachment purposes.) (b) Agreement and Disagreement. Defense
counsel shall indicate that he or she does not contest a proposed
fact if at trial they will not controvert or dispute that fact. In
indicating disagreement with a proposed fact, defense counsel shall
so set forth those disagreement(s) as explained above. (c)
Objections. Objections to the admissability of a proposed fact
(either as irrelevant or on other grounds) may not be used to avoid
indicating whether or not the party contests the truth of that fact.
(Counsel shall, however, indicate any objections, both to the facts
which they contest and those which they do not contest.) (d)
Individual Positions. To the extent feasible, counsel with similar
interests are expected to coordinate their efforts and express a
joint position with respect to the facts they propose to prove and
to the facts other parties propose to prove. Subject to the time
limits above, each party may, however, list additional proposed
facts to cover positions unique to it. 4. Annotations. For each
proposed fact, the parties shall, at the time of proposing to prove
the fact, list the witnesses (including expert witnesses),
documents, and (with line-by-line references) any depositions and
answers to interrogatories or requests for admissions that they will
offer to prove that fact. In his or her response, defense counsel
shall, if he or she objects to any such proposed fact or proposed
proof, state precisely the grounds of their objections and, if they
will contest the accuracy of the proposed fact, similarily list the
witnesses, documents, depositions, interrogatories, or admissions
that they will offer to controvert that fact. Except for good cause
shown, a party will be precluded at trial from offering any evidence
on any fact not so disclosed and from making any objection not so
disclosed. 5. Effect. (a) Preclusion of other facts. Except for good
cause shown, parties shall be precluded at trial from offering proof
of any fact not disclosed in their listing of proposed facts (except
purely for impeachment purposes). 6. Sanctions. Unjustified refusal
to admit a proposed fact or to limit the extent of disagreement with
a proposed fact shall be subject to sanctions. Excessive listing of
proposed facts (or of the evidence to be submitted in support of or
denial of such facts) which imposes obvious burdens on opposing
parties shall also be subject to sanctions. BY THE COURT: Norman

Docket Entry: It is hereby ORDERED and DECREED as follows: 1.
Development of Joint Statement of Uncontested and Contested Facts.
(a) Plaintiff's Proposed Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and
Legal Issues for Trial. By 6/25/03, plaintiff shall provide the
Court with a narrative statement listing all facts proposed to be
proved by him or her at trial in support of his or her claim(s) as
to liability and damages. Additionally, plaintiff shall provide the
Court with all relevant conclusions of law based upon his or her
proposed findings of fact and any and all legal issues presented
thereto. (b) Defendant's Response and Proposed Facts. By 7/25/03,
defendant shall provide the Court a statement: (1) indicating the
extent to which defendant contests and does not contest the
plaintiff's proposed facts: (2) listing all additional facts
proposed to be proved by defendant at trial in opposition to, or in
special defense of, the plaintiff's claim(s) as to liability and
damages; (3) listing all facts proposed to be proved by defendant at
trial in support of any counterclaim(s), and/or third-party claim(s)
if such claims exist; (4) listing any and all conclusions of law
which arise from all contested and uncontested facts as proposed by
the plaintiff; and, (5) listing for the Court all legal issues
presented based upon proposed facts and conclusions of law. (c)
Statement of Uncontested Facts. By 6/25/03, the same date as that
listed in paragraph 1 (a) of this order, the parties shall submit a
joint statement of uncontested facts. This statement is separate and
distinct from any other submitted. As such, agreement or
disagreement, which terms are defined below, with any proposed fact
by a defendant does not obviate the requirements of this paragraph.
2. Identification of Witnesses and Exhibits. (a) Plaintiff's
