In re "Holly Kerodin et al., Plaintiffs versus Servicemagic, Inc. et al., Defendants." -- The Judgment. "ORDERED, that judgment for costs BE ENTERED in favor of Defendants." Funny, he didn't mention this on Glenn Beck.

It was last Sunday that I posted the court decision the Kerodins and their partisans have been studiously avoiding since: There is nothing new under the Kerodin dark star. "Holly Kerodin et al., Plaintiffs versus Servicemagic, Inc. et al., Defendants."
At the time I posted it I wrote:
Readers will kindly note the dates involved. Although I have yet to obtain the "separate order", I rather suspect that someone was required to pay the legal costs for this bit of attempted legal extortion. I will forward this on to Red Dot Arms, since Kerodin continues to threaten them, even though they ceased production of the III uppers back in July when they were first threatened by Holly Kerodin BEFORE SHE EVER HAD A LAWFUL TRADEMARK. Perhaps the Red Dot attorney can profitably compare notes with the defendants in this case. Get ready for another memorable Kerodin explosion.
And yet, there was no explosion. My next post was entitled: Of torpedoes passing in the night. Kerodin lies doggo. Since then, apart from crickets and one bizarre episode of megalomania wherein Kerodin's friends identify him as the new Leonidas, nothing has been heard about the court case. Not from Kerodin, not from Miller, not from Lawyer Pete at WRSA. Nothing. Nada. Some adults must have intervened to enforce the silence. Exactly which adults are the subject of speculation in some quarters.
When I posted the decision, I wrote: "Although I have yet to obtain the 'separate order', I rather suspect that someone was required to pay the legal costs for this bit of attempted legal extortion." It was a good guess for Mrs. Vanderboegh's son. Here is the judgment which just came over the electronic transom:
Case 8:11-cv-02981-RWT Document 22 Filed 03/11/13 Page 1 of 1
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND
HOLLY KERODIN et al., Plaintiffs,
* Case No.: RWT 11cv2981
v.
SERVICEMAGIC, INC. et al., Defendants.
ORDER
Upon consideration of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Complaint [ECF No. 10], it is, for the reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, this 11th day of March, 2013, by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland,
ORDERED, that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Complaint [ECF No. 10] is hereby GRANTED; and it is further
ORDERED, that judgment for costs BE ENTERED in favor of Defendants; and it is further
ORDERED, that the Clerk CLOSE the case
.
Signature.
ROGER W. TITUS
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
So, I have a question. Since Holly (aka Violet Suckoo) is a corporate officer of both III Arms and the Citadel, what is the legal exposure of the investors if Servicemaster shows up with judgment in hand? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. Maybe somebody could ask Pete. Another question: how much was the judgment and how much monetary damage baggage are the Kerodins carrying around that they haven't shared with their investors?
I'm sure you, gentle readers, will have other questions. Feel free to ask them here, but if the adults are still in charge over in Kerodin Land, you won't hear nuthin' but the crickets.

I had noticed from my traveling years that "Suckoo" is a last name most often seen in the former British Caribbean (Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Barbados, etc.). Anyone know if she is a US citizen or not? Easy enough to get naturalized when married to a US citizen, but, this inquiring mind wonders? How many names is this person using? Need someone be a citizen to be involved with a firearms enterprise?

Can you just let it go on Kerodin? Finish your book and move on. This ongoing internal war you are waging is not doing anything to advance the movement.

Since Kerodin has decided to enter the public spotlight (much like a politician) he has given up his right to any privacy. This opens up the possibility of any number of "SPOOF" websites using the many .NET, .BIZ, .MOBI and any other possible DOT domain sites using the KERODIN name. Any web site he might have to exploit his CON GAMES can now be cloned to jab him with a sharp stick (that he sharpened himself). This opens a whole bunch of Whoopass that he has brought upon himself.

Gon2Fish: I will "let go" on Kerodin when he leaves the Three Percent movement for another con far away from me. There is nothing "internal" about our disagreement since he was never a real Threeper anyway, just a poseur -- for whatever real reason you'll have to ask his many-named ass.

It's surprising how many people keep sticking up for this Kerodin guy in the comments. He's obvious trouble and I think most would do well to avoid any association with him. You're doing a great service exposing his shenanigans.

Good, Mike. I've never seen such a thorough and indisputable expose of a fraud, fool and charlatan.

No lawyer could have done any better.

I hope this will bring this sorry episode to an end and we will hear no more of K, but the hyena cannot change his spots, and he has proven spiteful, remorseless and vindictive.

I must say that I read him correctly from the beginning as well, and I;m relieved to see that your condemnation of him was accurate and well deserved.

Watch your six.

Confusion to our enemies!

Unfortunately for Servicemagic, a judgment for costs at that stage of the game is going to be small as it doesn't include atty's fees. Costs are reasonable copying costs, filling fees, process server fees, etc.

It's probably around $2,500.

Ha. Saw that coming a week ago - and called it. Defendants need to ask for damages.

MilitiaLaw --

Interesting. Of course its true value lies in exposing a pattern of conduct that the K's have taken care to try to hide from everyone including their friends. That, and the fact that their allies seem determined to ignore it in mass cognitive dissonance. And that's priceless. One wonders what else is out there in the record. No doubt we'll learn more as these things get tossed over the electronic transom to me by their previous victims and/or self-made enemies. I am reminded of that observation of the late, great American philosopher Frank Zappa, who said in 1965:

"Do you love it?
Do you hate it?
There it is
The way you made it."

Maybe "all of his supporters" are actually several of Kerodin's many different warped personalities coming out of the woodwork. All it takes is a couple of dozen separate personalities and it would look like he has a large fan base.
Now I wonder how many different .ABCD web sites can become clones of the Kerodidn't Threeper websites. Nothing like exposing the truth about a CLOWN.

It has been a long time since I had anything to do with trademark law.
But if I recall correctly the first legal entity e.g. person, corporation, business, or such to use a symbol or such has the stronger position in a trademark issue.

So what happens when the people who made and sold the III flags, stickers, and such all go after Mr. Kerodin?

wirecutter said...

You're a petty li'l bitch, aren't you?
I saw Pete's post over at WRSA a couple of weeks ago about the use of the III name. No comment on that but what I got out of it is that you've pretty much existed on handouts for the past few years. Probably drawing Social Security now along with Medicare too, huh? More handouts.....
Seems pretty fucking hypocritical to accept handouts from the government you're always bitching about, Mikey.
