UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, April 8, 1999
THE COURT: Honorable Richard A. Lazzara, United States District Judge
THE WITNESS: James R. Campbell

=============================

THE COURT: You know, Mr. Campbell, maybe it hasn't dawned on you, but
you're in a Federal Courtroom now.

THE WITNESS: Yes, sir, I understand that.

THE COURT: Okay, and you're going to conduct yourself accordingly.

THE WITNESS: Yes, sir.

THE COURT: All right?

THE WITNESS: Okay.

THE COURT: I don't want anymore flippant remarks like that.

How about the flippant remarks? Where are they, what are they, and were
they spoken in the presence of a jury or was this during just a hearing
before the judge?


Odd you should quote this case, John. Last month, SnF's attorneys in
Zoom's current case responded to Campbell's shotgun request for documents.
SnF's response to each request was basically, "...Defendant specifically
objects to this request on the grounds that it is overly broad,
burdensome,
unduly vague, ambiguous...", etc.

Typical because apparently what he is trying to do is overwork them and run
them ragged with onerous requests. This sort of excess usually backfires
later on. But maybe his opponents are doing it to him too, in which case
there's a dogfall and the judge finally gets angry and fines both sides.


HOWEVER, just to show they're good guys, anyway, they provide copies of
two
documents: Stuff from the Federal case (quoted above) and from the NTSB
hearing where he lost his medical back in '80s. These have been formally
entered as exhibits.

A good article on Campbell's entry to the SnF grounds this week is in the
Lakeland Ledger, under the title, "Aviation Critic Buys Sun 'n Fun Ticket,
Eludes Efforts to Eject Him":

(Oddly enough, while the reporter says Zoom is *trying* to refile his
original case, he doesn't mention the current one.)

Inform him, Mr. Wanttaja. You are excellent at info. You shoulda been a
lawyer.


How this will affect the current case is unknown. The Fly-In president
says that Campbell violated the law by entering the grounds, even if a
mistake was made in selling him a ticket. If this is the case, this would
seem to strengthen SnF's case...after all, they claim they're worried
he'll
engage in illegal activities, and here he is, violating a trespass order.

Would this be a court order? Or just a notice by the management that he is
not to come on the grounds?

It sure seems to justify any actions they take to prevent his entry.

Wonder if Zoom's attorney knew about this stunt? Wonder how the judge
will view his violation of the trespass order coupled with the past
behaviors documented in the NTSB case?

A few days in jail for contempt might be a good bromide for the Zoomer.
