Motion for Summary Judgement Against Amiga to be Heard on Nov 21, 2003 in Washington Federal District Court.
Motion for Summary Judgement Against Amiga to be Heard on Nov 21, 2003 in Washington Federal District Court.
It also looks like Amiga is again without counsel.
"This matter comes before the Court on "Plantiffs' Motion for Judgement and dismissal of Counter Claims for Lack of Representation." Although corporations must be represented by counsel, defendant's failure to retain new counsel has not yet been given rise to a sanctionable failure to prosecute. Plantiff's motion for judgement and dismissal of the counterclaims is DENIED. Defendant must, however, obtain counsel to defend this litigation if it hopes to avoid an adverse ruling on plaantiff's pending motion for summary judgement.
DATED this 7th day of November,2003.

A little piece of advise; PLEASE STOP TRYING TO SPEAK ON OTHER PEOPLE'S BEHALF.
If Amiga Inc.'s employees are willing to continue working for Amiga Inc. for free in order to to keep the dreams and hopes they had when starting the company alive, who are you to stop them? Yes, two people left Amiga Inc. and sued for unpayed salaries, but what did Amiga Inc. do to stop them? Exactly nothing. They didn't even try defending themselves and let the court issue a default judgement in the former employees favor. That tells me that they are NOT trying to rip their employees off and that everyone working for them has the choice to leave whenever they like.
You see, I imagine a group of people with a great idea for a business and a great opportunity for this idea with both funding and a once in a lifetime offer to purchase the intellectual property of a legacy. This group of people starts up a small company, well aware of the risks involved. About 2 or 3 years later, two people get tired of waiting for the great success to come along and leave. The rest of the group does nothing to stop them, not even when those two takes legal action against them. Do you still think of these people as evil employers trying to rip their employees off?
What pisses me off is people like you, doing everything you can in order to kill the dreams and hopes of these people because you are ignorant enough to listen to certain other people with a certain agenda or because you simply are a part of that agenda and therefore will make use of every opportunity of slagging off at the competition. Why would these people even be a threat to you to begin with? Unless they really did something towards you in person, I really don't see why you should speak on their employees behalf, complain on their customers behalf, and paint a picture of them as the evil scum of the earth. You do NOT know the whole story and the complete scenario of events leading to their current situation, please stop filling in the gaps with whatever suits your distorted views.
Yes, Amiga Inc. doesn't have much income at the moment and are currently doing everything they can in order to get another round of funding. It's not the first time they have been in this situation and they have been able to sort it out before. However, you make it sound like it would be evil for a company to not be successful all the time and that they are doing this for the sake of making people's life miserable. For christ sake, how much sense would that make? I'm sorry but they don't work for free because they don't think that their business plan has an enormous potential and they sure as he** don't work for free because they have a plan to rip off the Amiga community. They work for free because they are determined to achieve what they were originaly set out to achieve and they work for free because they intend to repay everything they owe, both to themselves and the community. Why are you so determined to do everything you can to stop them? |
