Ok, you hidden lawyers on the list. I have a question prompted by a discussion yesterday with an MU law student concerning ferrets in CacaLand. I mentioned that Marshall Farms had won their law suit in California, but that the CaCaLand Fish Gestapo and Peanut Brain Society had challenged the ruling in a higher court. Then I mentioned the poor fella who recently had his ferrets grabbed. The law student I was talking to asked "Why doesn't the guy file some sort of a stay with the court until the appeals court makes a ruling? If the original ruling could force a state agency to reverse a rule, such as making ferrets legal, then a judge should allow a stay until the ruling is upheld or reversed since it could be retroactive to the original ruling." Now, I know nothing about law (except how to break them). My question is, does anyone know enough CaCaLand law to know if this has a possibility of working? And if my informant is off base, please be nice. She makes great tacos. Don't everybody jump up at once.... Bob C and 18 Mo' Legal Leg Scratchers [Posted in FML issue 2819]
