Starting to get interesting in "Lindner v Amex"

I'd like to limit this blog to be viewed by anyone in the world, except those lawyers from KDW

1. Kelley Drye & Warren LLP ("KDW") or
2. anyone employed by them or
3. anyone who gives my blogs to them.

I have a lawsuit against American Express, and it is in US Federal Court SDNY (Southern District of New York). It is on Pacer 2006cv3834 (Pacer="Public Access to Court Electronic Records "). Amex's lawyers are: KDW; my lawyer is: me. (I do not have a law degree, so I am representing myself pro se.)

KDW is a 300+ lawyer firm in "Lindner v Amex & Qing Lin".

I will allow anyone in American Express ("Amex") to view my blog, but they (or anyone else) can not give a copy to Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, without a Court Order or my express written, notarized permission. Hopefully, that will keep the people informed, but the lawyers of KDW in the dark.

So, why is it starting to get interesting in "Lindner v Amex"?

Well, for one, I just deposed and videotaped the "named defendant" in the case: Qing Lin. However, one of the Judges in the case confiscated the videos, and "So Ordered" that the videos can only be used at the trial (and maybe not even then), and that the videos have "no other legitimate use." (click on photo below to see the full, handwritten text of his decision)

Hey, if there are any friendly lawyers or basically anyone who is knowledgeable, perhaps you can help me come up with some other legitimate uses of videos of people in depositions in trial. Like, I wondered if someone had videotaped Ken Lay, now deceased President of Enron, it might have been interesting to get his sworn testimony on Enron. And while the DVDs ought to be immediately available for me (I paid for them, but they were confiscated by the Judge), I can't review which documents I requested from Qing's sworn deposition and request them quickly. Thus, I feel there are other, perhaps many, legitimate uses of videos.

PS: I appealed the Judge's order to the next higher level Judge, and anxiously await his ruling.

PPS: If there is a public interest group or media group (NY Times: I'm talking to you) who wants to do a story on this: I'm available and willing to provide tons of documents, subject to Court constraints.
