Citation: Not availableDocket: Civil Action No. 2012-1634
Court: District Court, District of Columbia; May 4, 2018; Federal District Court
Original Court Document: View Document
On April 4, 2018, Richard M. Gable filed a motion seeking permission to leave the country for medical reasons. The motion was dismissed on April 17, 2018, with the court stating that it had not restricted his right to travel and that any dispositive ruling was pending before Judge Rosemary M. Collyer. Gable later filed a second motion on April 19, 2018, expressing confusion over alleged previous orders that he believed restricted his travel, asserting he was unaware that no such order existed. The court clarified that there were no orders limiting his travel and cautioned him about his duty to monitor his case and participate in the litigation process. Gable also mentioned experiencing an ex parte communication restriction imposed by the court in April 2017 due to his repeated inquiries with chambers regarding his case, which he suggested contributed to his misunderstanding about travel permissions. The court reiterated that ex parte communications are generally inappropriate and that chambers staff cannot provide legal advice or interpret court orders. Lastly, Gable's motion appeared to reargue the merits of pending summary judgment motions, which are awaiting a decision from Judge Collyer. The court concluded that Gable had no reasonable basis for his motion, leading to its dismissal.
