John Chiv: "I can confirm that a tentative settlement agreement has been reached as to Judge Elvine-Kreis. The tentative settlement will have no impact on Mr. Kalin’s lawsuit against the County of Humboldt, Luke Brownfield and Marek Reavis"; settlement has yet to be finalized

I heard back from Rory Kalin's lawyer, Mr. Johnny Rundell who is a partner at Hershey Law Firm. Also see my post from yesterday about what I verified from e court, which LOCO could have easily done in a couple of minutes. LOCO's headline which I took a screenshot today, in case, they change it after this post was misleading. LOCO quoted Judge Gregory Kreis saying the suit has been settled yesterday. I don't trust LOCO's half baked reporting. As for Kreis' remarks yesterday, I leave it up to the readers to decide whether he said it, whether LOCO reported it accurately and what his next spin will be after this post. It isn't official until it is finalized and filed with the court. It hasn't. I already knew this because I checked on the case records twice this week.

"Mr. Chiv:

I can confirm that a tentative settlement agreement has been reached as to Judge Elvine-Kreis. The tentative settlement will have no impact on Mr. Kalin’s lawsuit against the County of Humboldt, Luke Brownfield and Marek Reavis. However, I will not be providing further comment until the settlement agreement between Mr. Kalin and Judge Elvine-Kreis is finalized."

Sincerely,

Johnny Rundell"

This is what I wrote in yesterday before I heard from Mr. Rundell.

Just Kreis saying at his re-election campaign that the lawsuit has been settled is not enough. Isn't it convenient that he gets to announce it when it suits him at a campaign event? I checked on the case this Monday and there is a case management conference in court on 12/20/23 in e court. His jury trial is still listed on 1/8/24. It is something that could have easily been verified. LOCO, as usual, was too lazy to verify anything and their LOCO elections is a joke where people basically submit a question, and are anonymous without complete names so they could be anyone, including supporters of an opponent.

Let's see what Kalin's lawyers say. I contacted them and they actually know who I am because unlike LOCO, I did not contact them for the first time yesterday. Kalin also forwarded my inquiry to his lawyers. I checked again on 12/14/23 and there is no filing regarding any settlement in e court and the court dates remain. Anything can be updated in e court after my post.

So Kreis to score points at a campaign just threw this out there. If the settlement had been filed, the lawyers could at least confirm that without revealing details depending on the terms of the agreement. Kreis can turn on the charm when he wants but any politician will in election season.
