Eddie Lee and Limmie Greg Curry cases to be tried separately; Robinson filed opposition by People to join cases

Limmie Greg Curry's attorney, Kevin Robinson had filed an opposition to People's joinder. Eddie Lee's attorney had requested the court waive his personal appearance when he was here for the last court hearing. He was not available by phone either today. District Attorney Paul Gallegos who is prosecuting the case was MIA in court today.

DDA Luke Brownfield who is in Courtroom 1 told Judge John Feeney that if the Court wanted input from the People, he would have to get Mr. Gallegos since he is not familiar with the case. The Court did not ask Mr. Brownfield

The Judge granted Mr. Robinson's motion. "Mr. Lee and Mr. Curry have conflicting defenses. People's motion is denied."

Trial Confirmation is July 14 and Jury Trial is scheduled for July 28.

joinder :the joining together of several lawsuits or several parties all in one lawsuit, provided that the legal issues and the factual situation are the same for all plaintiffs and defendants. Joinder requires a) that one of the parties to one of the lawsuits make a motion to join the suits and the parties in a single case; b) notice must be made to all parties; c) there must be a hearing before a judge to show why joinder will not cause prejudice (hurt) to any of the parties to the existing lawsuits; and d) an order of the judge permitting joinder. Joinder may be mandatory if a person necessary to a fair result was not included in the original lawsuit, or it may be permissive if joining the cases together is only a matter of convenience or economy.
