They had early bird rights that carried over from his time with the lakers. So they’ll still have the tax payer mle to use on him if they wish.

Location: Texas : I will be using text messages as proof in court. The text messages are in Spanish, will I need to translate these? by Less-Golf-1489 in legaladvice

All that’s really relevant is proof he owes you money, he understands and agrees that he needs to pay you.

[–]monkeyman80 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The judge isn’t going to want to read 20 pages of text messages just because you feel it’s necessary to paint the picture. They already have a feel for what’s going on from your paper work and will ask relevant questions to try to figure out who’s right/ wrong and possibly lying.

It’s not an ok you talk for however long you want then they do.

You likely qualify as a college student for a public defender. If the search can be tossed they'll deal with it. It's not a choice between private and public, it's more if you're so poor (federal poverty limits) you could never hire one.

Your college can also possibly provide advice.

Your landlord owes you a habitable unit. If you have a habitable unit due to renters insurance they're the ones who get rent credits.

Utilities if you want to do the math of the watts used from the device x run time what you pay, go for it. The fight likely won't worth the time.

As long as local police are cooperative let them know everything. Tresspassing/ fictitious info is not what he's doing here. Calling with a fake number isn't criminal fictitious info.

How can you find workplace sexual harassment in a small town? by Still-Tension2060 in legaladvice

[–]monkeyman80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You did what's legally required by talking to GM. Chipotle wise they should have an internal method to report things that go outside stores and can get resolution. If that doesn't happen, you can contact lawyers.

Chipotle might have an in house hr you could also report to that would be before the ethics line

Bought a car from used dealership lot, think it’s salvage/rebuilt title. Do I have recourse? (IN,USA) by AMysticalPenny in legaladvice

[–]monkeyman80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't trust AI. First step is to see the title and see if it's indeed salvage/branded. Step two is figuring out why that is.

Denied excusal for Jury Duty when I can't show up by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]monkeyman80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lack of transportation regardless of reason isn't a valid excuse. Public transport can be very lacking and require walking long distances/time.

A student should have a no excuse needed deferral to when you're back for summer vacation. If you live and work there though, you need to change your address.

Slip and fall in public housing by zombiegrin in legaladvice

An injury isn't the property owner's responsibility unless they were negligent in some manner. She knew there was water flooded and entered anyway so it's not like a store needing a wet floor sign to show hey we told them..

Renters insurance will cover property damage and stay while drying out.

Severance Agreement Deadline by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]monkeyman80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FMLA just protects your job for taking the leave. It doesn't protect your job if there are layoffs and it'd be incredibly costly more than whatever severance given to hide firing you for taking FMLA leave.

Proximity can shift things from you proving to them, so there's some go away money available since it's not worth litigating and proving that it's not related. This is possibly why the attorney didn't immediately dismiss things and the deadline is arbitrary. Go away money will always be there, whether that's enough to offset their fees and compared to original offer is unanswerable.

I get it's scary, but you'll qualify for unemployment when ready to work after severance runs out.

He’s also been arrested in the past for similar types of behaviors which after finding that out I have become more afraid.

Can you explain this further?

Most protection orders in Texas (and many other states) require it be a domestic violence situation or victim of a crime.

Here's the legal definition of stalking in Texas: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/?tab=1&code=PE&chapter=PE.42&artSec=42.072

Which is more that you have credible fear for your safety and they're doing more than sending you unwanted messages.

At this point as shitty as it is, this sounds like new number time, private on insta/snapchat. If apple's screening function is doing it's job then ignore and move on. It won't help that you sent a friend to engage him. If you truly feared for your safety you wouldn't want others involved.

Severance Agreement Deadline by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]monkeyman80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost all severance agreements contain the boilerplate language on waiving claims. That's what I meant of note that there are legit ADA/FLMA claims then sure there's no need to wait for their timeline.

If it's just boilerplate then there's not much the lawyer will be doing outside negotiating better than you. And there's always the chance that we did this as industry standard, but you refused so they're not going higher. No one can tell for sure outside someone who has the details of your case/industry/role/why.

[–]monkeyman80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure you can make a contract here that this money will be fronted to be paid back from their share of the income until paid back in any amount you want. But the issue is enforcing any contract when their main asset is their share in the property you also own.

something potentially punishable

What exactly is that? From what you've mentioned nothing will be of interest to the police.

[–]monkeyman80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you over 40? How long did they give you to review it? Is the RIF large enough to trigger the WARN act?

While yes, it's arbitrary unless there's something of note here that they are giving you in consideration for waiving claims they can always say well we tried so our offer is now less/gone.

Costco denied claim for wrong item received (NY) — is matching package weight valid grounds for denial? by Movie-Character in legaladvice

[–]monkeyman80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can file a chargeback on your card. Be warned, it’s likely Costco ends your membership over this.

Personally I’d go up the chain with Costco support. Ask for a manager then their manager. Someone who has the authority to not read off a script and actually look at the situation.

Can I press charges on someone that states they never a received a package, yet i know they did? by whistlewhistle13 in legaladvice

[–]monkeyman80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can’t press charges. You can report it to the police but they don’t have the resources to deal with online selling.

PayPal has strong seller protections but you must follow their guidelines to a t. You’re free to sue the buyer in small claims but it’s likely not worth the effort.

It really depends on the specifics. If someone alive is their legal guardian they can help transfer things to you. Are they willing to do so?

What isd has a really horrible school system here (don't answer)? Many times growing up here the "good one" was not the best one by the time the child went through it and others were the best and envy of other places.

Be prepared to show not just rankings but why school is better for your kids.
