It's not at all uncommon for a plaintiff to delay service, sometimes right up to the statutory limit. It's most common in personal injury suits, but you shouldn't read anything into it here.

Delaying seems frivolous to me. Obviously they are not serious in their claim.

From my days as a reporter, I learned that it's never a news story when someone says they're going to sue. It's only news when the suit is actually filed. You'd be amazed at how often these threatened lawsuits vanish into thin air. A lot of times it's just an intimidation tactic - for example, since no suit has been filed yet, how did the reporter know about it? Because the plaintiffs picked up the phone and called her. It always annoys me when reporters write about a threatened lawsuit, because at that point all they're doing is carrying the plaintiffs' water for them.
I hate litigious a-holes, so when I used to get those calls, I loved saying, "Call me back when you actually sue, and maybe I'll write about it then."

Good news on the top side there. Hopefully your landlord gets in the boat and picks up an oar.
Glllll GB. :( Sending good mojo your way from all your fans here in Memphis.

Just wondering... is this really about the neighbors and smoke, or is there another restaurant either nearby or another BBQ in the same niche who simply wants to do away with the competition?

Not being served isn't the same as a suit not being filed. As I understand it, the suit has been filed, but Tipsey (and possibly his co-defendant) have not been served. The plaintiffs would have 90 days to serve them according to the Louisiana rules.

My favorite activity when starting a lawsuit: go check out the Facebook pages of the litigants and take screen shots whenever they discuss what's going on with the suit. Especially when they say things like "we don't really care about the smoke, we just want our parking spaces back." Or something similar.

Couldn't keep my hands off Mrs. Karpis last night...climbed into bed and went for an orange dot.
Mrs. Karpis told me she had never seen me quite so frivolous.

Bump... the original issue was a battle with the condos over some parking spaces IIRC. From there it's spiraled into a grudge match.

Good luck GB. Sounds like they were just waiving their arms around and making loud noises.

Reminds me of the old Barney Miller episode when Wojo tried to explain "frivolous" to the Russian who was trying to defect.

are lawyers are all speaking at least.
I am installing a homemade scrubber on friday.
a gang of civil, environmental, and mechanical engineers is proposing an better one ....because they like the challenge of it and my bbq....
still haven't been served....court date was supposed to be tomorrow. If they refile than they will serve my lawyer I am sure.

Basically a device that attaches to Tipsy's effluent smoke discharge and cleans or "scrubs" the air of any evidence of his cooking. They're most commonly employed in chemical plants, etc. Basically a travesty to put on a pit in TX but perhaps necessary in other less BBQ centric areas.

You should look for that thread about sending someone some poop.

Man...the FFA can find a way to argue over just about anything...it never surprises.
As for this suit...I can see it. I know I'd sue if a BBQ joint opened up next to me and I've got to smell that all the time.
But my suit would be easily settled out of court for a free BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich at least once a week.

Better yet, the scrubber removes the goodness from the smoke. You extract the goodness from the scrubber and start marketing it!
Perhaps by infusing the smell in your online t-shirt sales? Or for a completely new revenue stream

Wonder what they would think about Harley's driving around the block. The sound is part of the brand.

Ok....i'm very liberal ...almost a hippie (ok...i am a hippie). Same with my sister. So while she was dining with George W. Bush and posing for photos with him & such.....here in New Orleans the radio talk show closest to Rush Oxyconlimbaugh was spending a couple of hours defending my case over the radio waves. I even heard "They must be Muslim Vegans" and nearly shat myself.
I'm in an uber reality bubble right now. :smh:

Do you know why BBQs and smokers smell so good after you fire them up? Because you're not constantly smelling them.

Headed to the Ravens game this Sunday Tips. If I get on the big board you better believe I'll whip off the jersey and let the McClure's colors fly.

Just read about the lawsuit, sorry to hear about your legal troubles. Hopefully you'll win and all this publicity ends up being a positive in the end.
So bummed I missed out on going to your place when my family and I were in NO year before last. We just headed out on another extended trip a couple months and should be coming to NO some time this winter, we wont miss you the second time through.
Good luck

So when the smoker is running, is the smoke going up into the sky or is it billowing into people's yards? Do they have a legitimate health concern or is it more of an "eyesore"? If it's not a health concern, and it's not because the smoke from the smoker is an "eyesore" are they saying the smell is invading their property?
I drove past a bbq shack today and the smell caught my

They all complain in their affidavits that I'm causing leaves to die and fall in large numbers. Just like the other trees around me, down the street, out in the other areas of town too. Powerful stuff that McClure smoke is. One tiny branch bears the burden of the heat & smoke. It is nearly the size of my upper torso and probably had 76 or 77 leaves on it before I started.
They are also complaining that I am open 7 days a week. And that grease trucks have to come by and suck out my grease drum and the dreaded grease trap cleaning once every 6 weeks. And that I have trash. And that I lied to the city by not declaring I was going to smoke meats.
......breathing......
the lawyers are still talking. my landlord continues to resist at every turn he can. the neighbors continue to shoot evil looks my way.
and we continue to move forward with construction of a giant water bong type device to filter the smoke.

I don't think it is an admission of guilt. It should only help his cause if this ever goes to court to show that he is trying to appease his neighbors as best as he can.
The smoke is causing leaves to fall from his neighbors trees?!? Are they green leaves or foliage colors? Are they trying to blame Tipsy for burning the leaves?
Sounds like you are doing the best you can, your neighbors sound like jerks.

Even if it could be so construed, it would be inadmissible as evidence for that purpose. The law favors attempts at settlement.
