Judge Orrick To RPost: Dodge This!

Motion to Stay Dismiss Granted in Part and Denied in Part, Motion to Transfer Venue Denied, Trend Micro Inc. v. RPost Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. C 13-05227 (Judge William Orrick)

If you had any doubts about whether dodging service is a good idea, Judge Orrick's recent order in the Trend Micro v. RPost litigation should put those doubts to rest.  In an impressive act of chutzpah, Rpost moved to dismiss the complaint for improper service of process after one of its officers attempted to evade that very service.  Judge Orrick was unimpressed and denied the motion.  He further denied RPost's motion to transfer venue to the Eastern District of Texas, where several other RPost lawsuits are pending.
