![According to Plaintiff, Defendants improperly included their "mislabeled" and "concealed" Counterclaim in the Amended Answer," instead of filing a separate "cross-complaint." (ECF No. 13 at 2-4.) Plaintiff contends that the inclusion of the Counterclaim into Defendants' answer made the Counterclaim "unintelligible." (Id. at 2.) Plaintiff, who is represented by counsel, admittedly does not know how to handle Defendants' Counterclaim and asks the Court to clarify whether he should file an answer or "simply regard it as an offset alleged in the so-called amended answer." (Id. at 1-2.)
Plaintiff and his counsel are hereby advised that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, [*6] which govern the proceedings in this district court, do not provide for the possibility of filing a "cross-complaint." See Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a). Pursuant to Rule 13, a party's pleading may state a "counterclaim" against an opposing party or a "crossclaim" against a coparty. Fed. R. Civ. P. 13(a),(b),(g). Furthermore, counterclaims, be they permissive or mandatory, are not separate pleadings but are instead included as part of another pleading, such as an answer. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 13(a) & (b); Primerica Life Ins. Co. v. Davila, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 19744, 2011 WL 643395, at *3 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 17, 2011). A plaintiff must answer a counterclaim as long as it is "designated as a counterclaim" in the defendant's responsible pleading. Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a)(3), 12(a)(1)(B).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ey2ngl4l3fymyibjzhjx4dcy/bafkreibrmd24ba3wlcyrhg7szvccokn7xjo5azb63kbg4r3jphl4nhgplq)

Hey #lawsky quick survey have you ever complained to a federal judge about something opposing counsel did and confidently asserted they should've done something you just made up and then admitted you didn't actually know what they did or how you were supposed to respond?

And stupid:
His posted claim to have been in control of “the joystick” sending those missiles are gonna come in handy when the hearings begin.
He can’t now lay the blame on Hegseth or anyone else when Donald crows it was he himself who pulled the trigger.

A black-and-white historical photograph of Jane Bolin, the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the United States. She is seated formally at a judge's bench, facing the camera with a calm and composed expression. Her dark hair is neatly styled and pulled back. She wears a short-sleeved, dark polka-dot dress with a V-neck collar. In her right hand, she holds a pen poised over a document on the desk, while her left arm rests beside it. A wooden gavel lies to her left on the bench. Behind her is a large, high-backed leather chair with studded trim, and the setting conveys the authority of a courtroom environment.
In 1939, Jane Bolin became the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the US.
Bolin was also the first Black woman to graduate from Yale Law School & to join the NYC Bar Association and the NYC Law Department. She was born #OTD in 1908.

since all of #LawSky is apparently having A Take on this, here's mine:
"Code is Law": no, wrong, bad, and you should be thankful it's not true.
"Law is Code": no, wronger, somehow even worse, and you should be thankful it's not true.

restitution—unthinkable before this war.
No clear goal. Just escalation that cost lives, shook global markets, and left America weaker. This is what failure looks like on the world stage. newrepublic.com/article/2087... #BlueSky #Iran #LawSky #PoliSky
