Can I File a Motion Before First Court Appearance?

[latigo]

When we do that, we put it in a quote box so that its (sic) clear that we are quoting someone else. If you don't put it in a quote box, then its going to appear that you intend for us to view it as your own work.

Maybe the missing character briefly wandered from my keyboard. But what the "L" - its back now!

But let's just note that some people are more conscious of "literary misdemeanors" than others and leave it at that.

[SUP]Incidentally, Ld this may be the first time we’ve ever seen eye to eye. (I'm marking my calendar.)[/SUP]

 

[You Are Guilty]

As to the question of "can you" file the motion, the answer is an unequivocal 'Yes'.


(As to the question of "do you have any shot of winning", I can only assume you've never been in Family Court before).

I

pla�gia�rism /ˈpl�jəˌrizəm/

Noun The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

1. Its spelled PLAGIARISM. If your going to throw accusations around either learn how to spell them or at least spell check them.

2. At no point did I attempt to pass off what I wrote as my own.

3. Its fairly common practice to copy and paste applicable statutes, rules and anything else that may pertain to the question at hand. Does one get accused of plagiarism if they copy and paste laws from state websites?

4. I found what I thought to be was some relevant information that the OP might find useful so sue me.

If we're going to get all grammery and such, let me play too!

Noun: "The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own." (Where we attribute this, I'm uncertain. I would guess the Oxford English dictionary, but there may be other places that we can source it too.)

1. Its spelled PLAGIARISM. If you're going to throw accusations around, either learn how to spell them or, at least, spell check them. (I believe you meant "you are" and not possession. And, while I admit the commas may be a bit stylistic, [and that "and" should not start a sentence] many prefer parenthetical phrases such as "at least" to be put apart. I also believe a semi-colon may be a better choice after "around"; but who uses them any more?)

2. At no point did I attempt to pass off what I wrote as my own.Yet, your name was at the top and it was not attributed to the source. Hmmm...is it only wrong if we say "this is mine" before each instance? (Or, after. That was mine.)

3. Its fairly common practice to copy and paste applicable statutes, rules and anything else that may pertain to the question at hand. Does one get accused of plagiarism if they copy and paste laws from state websites?(If it is identified as a statute, no, probably not.)

4. I found what I thought to be was some relevant information that the OP might find useful so sue me.(Then quote it or list the source. That way we can try to ascertain the credibility of the purportedly relevant information. The lawsuit would be from the owner of the stuff you stole. [If it wasn't fair use or whatnot.])

Now, with my penchant for misspellings and overly complex sentences, I'm not going to be the best grammar National Socialism party member here. But, getting all huffy when you quote large portions of text without attribution and are called on it, seems a bit overwrought as well. (That was mine again. Nope, that usage doesn't seem to work. Let's just assume people write their own stuff unless they attribute it or set it off in some way.)

If you keep what you steal to very short bits as you imply, it does not really count as stealing. There are rules on how to do it, but I'll leave it for another to explain if they so desire. However, when the unique combination of your whole post is the exact same as that at:

you are hurting the company who paid money to put that content there. It is explained at:

Maybe, next time you can place a link so that people can go there themselves. Perhaps you can choose to pull out the relevant quote to the thread so you add a little thought to your post. But putting in the whole article without attribution and then try to defend it with silly jokes or spelling games is ridiculous.
