Now that everything is in order and paperwork has been served appropriately, as promised to several individuals, I would make it public.

Glock23 Posted November 24, 2015 at 10:25 PM Posted November 24, 2015 at 10:25 PM Good luck! Based on a quick read, aside from the fact that you were denied any sort of hearing to state your case for keeping your license (or being able to apply as a non-resident), is one of the goals to "shrink" the state's definition of substantially similar? The main thing that disqualifies most states, at least in the eyes of the ISP, are the mental health reporting requirements... and (IIRC) the thing that disqualifies Florida is that they don't report all voluntary admissions for mental health treatment; they only report voluntary admissions that result from an INvoluntary psych exam.

kwc Posted November 24, 2015 at 10:51 PM Posted November 24, 2015 at 10:51 PM This is so exciting, Josh! I remember well when you first floated the idea, and considering the help this could provide to many others. Glad to see this moving forward now. Yeah!!!
jmeyers Posted November 24, 2015 at 11:05 PM Author Posted November 24, 2015 at 11:05 PM @Glock23 - yes While Florida doesn't report ALL, it does deny for ALL voluntary and based on some filings today over at Culp vs Madigan, the cases will eventually go hand in hand I believe.
chislinger Posted November 24, 2015 at 11:18 PM Posted November 24, 2015 at 11:18 PM Nice and good luck!
THE KING Posted November 25, 2015 at 01:08 AM Posted November 25, 2015 at 01:08 AM Good Luck.I hope you prevail.
Tango7 Posted November 25, 2015 at 03:58 AM Posted November 25, 2015 at 03:58 AM Here's hoping you can ram it down their throats and make them choke on it. In a purely professional capacity of course.
MrTriple Posted November 25, 2015 at 04:15 AM Posted November 25, 2015 at 04:15 AM For the curious amongst us, are you challenging the "substantially similar" language, or simply the notion that Florida isn't considered substantially similar by the ISP?
Hipshot Percussion Posted November 25, 2015 at 04:31 AM Posted November 25, 2015 at 04:31 AM Swinging from the heels! Love it!
ChicagoRonin70 Posted November 25, 2015 at 06:04 AM Posted November 25, 2015 at 06:04 AM Wow, that filing is a thing of beauty. I actually lost count of the ways that the ISP violated rules, laws, and procedures based on what was written in that document.
Gamma Posted November 25, 2015 at 10:34 AM Posted November 25, 2015 at 10:34 AM Best of luck to you, another front they have to try to defend. I would have approached the argument differently but hope it works out for you.
jmeyers Posted November 25, 2015 at 11:29 AM Author Posted November 25, 2015 at 11:29 AM Its targeting the violations of the Administrative Code a well as the substantially similar wording. There is substantial backing of this suit although I won't name names at the moment and they are the ones that helped word it The Lead Attorney, Carl Draper is the best in Illinois when it comes to Administrative Code law, most notable case was against IDOT for firing 16 workers due to republican affiliation (Whitlow vs. The Illinois Department of Transportation)
GTX63 Posted November 25, 2015 at 11:33 AM Posted November 25, 2015 at 11:33 AM Very well written. I'll stay tuned.
press1280 Posted November 26, 2015 at 06:22 PM Posted November 26, 2015 at 06:22 PM This case seems like a backstop if Culp fails. If Culp wins, this case should be moot.
jmeyers Posted November 27, 2015 at 12:55 PM Author Posted November 27, 2015 at 12:55 PM If Culp wins, this one will be moot, however this is in State Court and most likely won't make it to federal court because of the attack angle. We estimate this case to be through State Court by April 2016 if not sooner
GTX63 Posted November 27, 2015 at 01:14 PM Posted November 27, 2015 at 01:14 PM Warms the cockles of my heart.
GWBH Posted December 20, 2015 at 11:16 PM Posted December 20, 2015 at 11:16 PM My opinion of credibility for the ISP management just took a nose dive... Best of luck with the litigation!!
jmeyers Posted December 20, 2015 at 11:47 PM Author Posted December 20, 2015 at 11:47 PM 30 days is coming up fairly quick. I suspect we'll have a motion for extension this week sometime.
jmeyers Posted December 24, 2015 at 03:57 PM Author Posted December 24, 2015 at 03:57 PM Not that it should surprise anyone but... 12/23/2015 Motion for Extension of Time Filed by Assistant Attorney General: OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL Cant wait to see this exemplary piece of work.
DoverGunner Posted December 25, 2015 at 05:11 AM Posted December 25, 2015 at 05:11 AM Gods SpeedAS said earlier I cannot wait to see Princess Madigans response
jmeyers Posted December 26, 2015 at 11:20 AM Author Posted December 26, 2015 at 11:20 AM I should have a copy of the Motion Monday. Anyone want to take bets on how eerily similar to culp and samuel it'll be? My guess is someone got a new Copy and Paste button for christmas :0
Joebillybob Posted December 26, 2015 at 01:32 PM Posted December 26, 2015 at 01:32 PM Hoping for maximum madiganbutthurt
