...Kimberlin isn't all talk. In December 2005, he posted a call for Diebold stockholders to participate in a class action being prepared by lawyers with whom he was in contact. Kimberlin found the lead plaintiff; a judge has yet to rule on the validity of the class. The case alleges that Diebold defrauded shareholders by knowingly downplaying problems with its e-voting business...
...Gordon began his argument by saying that all his plaintiff, Crystal Meredith, wanted to do was walk her son around the block to kindergarten. But Justice Ginsburg quickly interrupted with a question that suggested this entire case might not have been necessary: Why had Meredith waited until August, four months after the March deadline, to submit her choice of school?

Cheryl Wirth, a waitress at Waffle House whose son attends a magnet school, thinks this alone ought to be enough to dispose...
...allegations could be made without the suspects having the chance to examine and respond to them - deferred to Lebrot. Lebrot's office declined to comment, citing pending litigation by Rabehi and seven colleagues who challenged the revocations in court. Pending the court ruling expected next week, Rabehi and another plaintiff had their badges returned to them - proving, Rabehi said, "the authorities acknowledge the information against us was wrong. How can you not doubt the other cases...
