Introduction

This page will be updated to reflect new filings, notes, and corrections. Please note corrections in comments below. Such correction comments will be acknowledged but may be deleted when handled if not otherwise relevant where placed.

Eric Walker is also compiling case files. Sometimes he has a file sooner than us. Pacermonitor is a site that sells access to case files, the docket for the most recent files is free. Pacermonitor does not continue to provide free access to the docket beyond a short period of time, and files cannot be read without payment. (At the moment, 5/10/2017, Pacermonitor is not showing any files created after May 3, something appeared broken. I emailed them; they fixed it.)

PACER is a U.S. government site, with free registration (with a credit card). Documents are $0.10 per page, with a limit per document of $3.00, and the minimum billing is $15 per quarter, or 150 pages, below that it is free. (Dockets and certain other reports do not have the $3 limit, be careful!) Files that are 2 MB or larger may have a file size given.

Docket

The docket is only periodically downloaded. Every document should be shown in the Files section below (except as noted). Files (are updated as available, usually every day.)

22 thoughts on “Rossi v. Darden docket and case files”

    1. Nowhere. This was all covered in great detail on LENR Forum last year. Commonly lacking on Planet Rossi: an understanding of how an LLC like Cherokee operates. They identify environmental remediation projects, which can be very expensive, and risky. According to coverage of Cherokee, which I have never seen contradicted, they will invest perhaps $25 million to get a project started. This money goes into a new LLC, legally independent from Cherokee, and that LLC solicits (and may have been initally formed with) independent investment. These are typically sophisticated investors who know the risks. The potential rewards are high, and Cherokee did not become a $2.2 billion fund by making bad bets. However, it’s the nature of the game that some of these LLCs will fail. In that event, Cherokee stands with the other investors to lose all or part of their investment. LLCs can fail for any of many reasons. Expenses may turn out to be much higher than expected. Real estate values may decline. For whatever reason, one of these LLCs may become insolvent, having spent the initial investment and if it becomes unable to pay ongoing expenses, it will file for bankruptcy. Cherokee and the other investors will be last in line for any recovery of value. First to be paid would be legitimate creditors. If the project fails completely, i.e., is actually abandoned as impractical, then creditors may end up with losses if the loans or debts were not secured. If state grants were given to the LLC, those might end up being wasted (and details could vary). Basically, anyone doing business with a corporation (which includes LLCs) should be aware of the risks.

      Now, if officers of the LLC took unfair advantage of their position, if they pulled money out for unreasonable management fees, for example, or other self-dealing, the corporate veil might be pierced. Cherokee would not ordinarily be on the hook, the same as the other investors. So the articles:

      The NY Times article was borderline yellow journalism. Reporters like dramatic stories, and so do editors. The story implies that Cherokee engaged in “back room” politics. Shocking, I’m sure. True? Well? What happened? Was there any improper influence? Any bribery? That could get those involved nailed to the wall. The article generates suspicion. But of what? There is no relationship to Rossi v. Darden. Pointing to this article is an attempt to smear Cherokee and, by implication, Darden and Vaughn.

      Federal subpoenas were issued. This is about the Pennsauken project, same as the NYT article, but is five years later, 2010. When one of these project LLCs fails, when a project is abandoned, or when there are interests offended by a project, investigations can and will arise. What did they find? All the reference story has is that the Feds were investigating, issuing subpoenas, seven years ago. Cherokee is involved in many projects, some level of this is normal. Again, no relation to Rossi v. Darden.

      As I’ve commented above, LLCs do fail or go bankrupt. (Failure and bankruptcy are not quite the same thing, though close.) The first bankruptcy is of two LLCs: Ashley I and Ashley II. Obviously related. I have not researched more details, but there is no appearance of impropriety here. What seems likely is that the investors may lose some of their collective $50 million investment. I might guess that half of that is Cherokee, but it’s just a guess. When a $2.2 billion corporation loses, say, $10 million, it’s little more than pocket change. The point is? Again, no relevance to Rossi v. Darden, except in one way: Cherokee was not about to “personally” — i.e., as the Investment Partners LLC — engage in an agreement to invest maybe $20 million in Rossi technology, just as Cherokee does not directly run its remediation projects, but creates a separate LLC. That way, their losses are limited to their investment. In the case of Industrial Heat, Cherokee did not even invest; rather, Rossi, Mazzarino, Vaughn, and friends put up the money for the initial share offering that allowed paying Rossi the $11.5 million and running the effort to confirm the IP. (I don’t know how the original $1.5 million was paid, this is covered somewhere in the depositions, I think, but I don’t recall and it doesn’t matter. With something like this, the money may be temporarily borrowed, and paid back from the stock offering (or repaid with stock).

      The Encap bankruptcy could be a huge mess. Here, Jerry, you claim that Encap was “owned by Cherokee Investment Partners,” but the story does not confirm that. They are stated to be the “biggest investor” in Encap. The filing is for “protection,” it is not a dissolution bankruptcy, though it could become that. The story is from 2008. So, what happened? This is common on Planet Rossi: facts ripped from context, asserted to create some impression. If someone wants to do some actual research here, following up on those old stories (what happened to Encap? There would be court filings. Any plausible claims of misbehavior? The story emphasizes possible poor oversight, but there is nothing alleged beyond possible business errors.

      Here are some places to start:
      Trump Steps In as Partner for Troubled Meadowlands Project
      NJ Meadowlands Commission Cheated Cherokee: Suit
      Update: Ex-N.J. senator, attorney indicted in EnCap bribery, fraud (2010) OMG! Actual scandal! But … what happened? this is all years ago. What were the results of these filings?
      Democrats seek officials’ emails with Trump on EnCap
      EnCap bankruptcy case dismissed (this is actually informative)
      Encap’s parent company wants its $8.8 million back
      And here we go, actual evidence and details: IN RE ENCAP GOLF HOLDINGS, LLC (BANKR.D.N.J. 9-4-2008)

      The actual Chapter 11 filing (this was not what the public thinks of as “bankruptcy” but bankruptcy might have followed if the reorganization plan failed — and I think it did fail) shows details as findings of fact. Cherokee was involved as a major investor, but possibly not the largest. Someone who wants to research this more deeply may find more details, such as the total amount that Cherokee may have lost, but the appearance so far, for me, is that this is not outside the envelope of risks that Cherokee takes. This was obviously an attractive project, and it was environmental remediation, their specialty. If it had not run into unanticipated difficulties, it could have made hundreds of millions of dollars or maybe more.

  1. Abd (or others)

    Is it common for both sides in a dispute to ask for summary judgement in their favour on every single point? You’d think that given the high hurdle for such settlement many points would be at least from one side obviously not suitable…

    1. If a summary judgment motion is being presented, I would think that it would be common to include all counts. Without that, a trial would be necessary, and the goal of summary judgment is to avoid an unnecessary trial. However, I would think that including weakly supported and unnecessary counts would be avoided, because of a danger of creating judicial inertia. Once a judge sees inappropriate and overstated argument, she might dismiss it, and then throw the baby out with the bathwater. I have not yet reviewed all the arguments on the MSJs enough to conclude that they are inappropriate in part or in whole. I’m still going over the Statement of Material Facts from IH with the Rossi reply. I see Rossi, there, arguing moot points, but until I look at how he uses his responses, I won’t know just how moot.

      The Motion for more Time, just filed day before yesterday and amended today, and the IH response, shows the style of the Rossi attorneys as pugnacious and non-cooperative, unnecessarily so. Rossi has a basis for requesting more time, but instead of simply stating the needs behind the request, Annesser attempts to blame IH for the delay, casting the 30(b)(6) shortcoming as deliberate, and then the IH refusal to accept the unnecessarily large (according to IH) scope of the depositions as an arbitrary refusal. This was unnecessary and counterproductive squabbling.

      It was not lying, rather these were interpretive choices made by Annesser (presumably). This is an attorney who sees his job as fighting tenaciously for the client’s position, instead of creating cooperation and collaboration toward common goals. In civil matters, this is poison.

      I have speculated that the gross errors made by Rossi counsel were created by Rossi insistence. However, it is also possible that Annesser intensified the rift between IH and Rossi and encouraged him to file suit. See Fanning the flames.

  2. Thank you for this great resource. It is much appreciated. I am looking for pages 278 to 293 of the Rossi deposition where he talks about the heat exchanger, yet there seems to be a gap in the documentation. Is that because the court felt that was to sensitive to be released or is there another reason, like I am looking in the wrong place? I searched composite exhibit 6, exhibit 6, exhibit 13, exhibit 45, composite exhibit 15 and others. What am I missing.

    1. Point to exactly where you found a reference to those pages, or exactly quote it. Because the pdfs are often image, not text, they cannot be easily searched. (If someone wants to do the OCR, that would be fantastic!) First of all, exhibit numbers without the document numbers can be useless. There must be dozens of “Exhibit 6” files. As well, there are many copies of the three Rossi depositions, being various excerpts. While there are a few complete depositions, most are just selected pages. Yes, in some cases, material may have been redacted, but I don’t think that’s the problem you are facing. I will look around a little.

      Google search does work reasonably well on this blog, using the search facility from any regular post page. However, the information above doesn’t turn up what you are looking for, so I’m suspecting there is some error. I could look for all Rossi depositions (because those would be deposition pages), but help me out here.

      1. Thank you for affirming that there are only three Rossi deposition documents. I thought I may have missed something. I was looking for page 278 to 293 of document 245-12 exhibit 12 from deposition of Leonardo Rossi. But from comments of THH it appears the court has not released that information.

        1. There are three Rossi depositions, but many more than that as documents. If you did what I asked — show me why you are looking for that particular page, was it cited somewhere? — I might be able to find it. If you cite your source, or quote it exactly, then I am more likely to find the original or identify an error. The court does not generally decide what to release, the parties do. There is an exception if something is filed under seal. If a document is redacted, this will generally show, but clerks also make mistakes, like anyone.

          245-12 is a corporate deposition for Leonardo Corp, represented by Rossi. 245 is an IH presentation for a particular purpose, and they highlight testimony of interest. They show pp 274-277 because of one highlighted element, and skip then to 294-297, thus the pages you are looking for seem missing. However, they simply did not present them. The raw depositions are enormous documents.

          245-12 is not the only copy of that deposition. For example, == 248-3_Exhibit_3 deposition for Leonardo by Rossi could have the pages, if a party decides to include them. Many of these depositions are marked confidential, and they may not be disclosed without permission or legal necessity. I could look at the covering documents, that cite the exhibits, and see if there is a citation. But you could also do this. Again, if you are looking for those pages merely because they are “missing,” that would be meaningless. Most pages in most deposition exhibits are “missing.” We have only a few complete depositions. When I have time, I may create a deposition index, and show what pages are given and where. But not yet. I now have enough work to keep me busy until the trial. It is possible that the Judge will review and make decisions before I complete my own analysis. On the other hand, this is truly a complicated mess, and I’m told that she is very likely to require the parties to get it together and organize accepted fact and then contested fact, and that there will probably be a hearing before she rules on the MSJs.

          1. I think you have done a great job with this site. 248-3_exhibit_3 does not have the missing pages. I am looking for those pages because I am curious what Rossi said about the heat exchanger and not because it was cited somewhere. I will keep looking but it appears those pages were not of interest to somebody. Thanks for your help.

    2. Hi GGK!

      The published documents are often those excerpts from depositions referenced by the various parties. That is true of much of the deposition evidence – Abd will say if/where we get the complete depositions. You get the whole page of any such excerpt, and sometimes it can be a lot of a deposition, but there are always gaps.

      One of the consequences of this to beware of is that we get selected views of the evidence, and the whole thing can often cast a different slant on a matter.

        1. GGK, I think what you could do is search this page for ‘Rossi’ and then go into every document that contains a deposition of Rossi for Leonardo and Rossi for JM Products. And then if you don’t find more details, you could try plain vanilla Rossi depositions. The depositions only started being released beginning on March 22.

          1. We are not likely to see much more. The MSJs should be the strongest arguments, based on clear fact or uncontroverted testimony. I find most of the case to be already transparant on that. However, if people are looking for extensive details of the technology, that is mostly moot in the case and I don’t expect to find much on it. Someone could go through all the depositions and documents relating to the alleged heat exchanger and create something useful. If this blog is limited to what I have time for, it will not be as powerful as it could be. I’m working on http://coldfusioncommunity.net/rvd-study-of-207ih-statement-of-material-fact-supporting-msj/ — and this is just a beginning, I would pull in and consider the 3rd party responses to IH’s MSJ, and then the replies. The idea was to create a study resource that allows thorough examination of the claims; the court documents themselves are not designed to facilitate study like that.

            The idea is not to prove some position. That’s what the parties do, and if we want to learn, we will attend to their claims, seek to understand them, and compare them with the evidence. Most of us just want to know, most of the time, the Answers. That is not how we gain wisdom.

            Doing these studies gives me a grasp of the case that becomes intuitive. This is how I learn, how I have learned for many years, how I learned Arabic, years ago, how I learned enough about cold fusion, in a few years, to be able to recognize the salient issues and to write a paper accepted by experts. If someone writes a study (like one of the Rossi Heat Exchanger), they will learn. Key is to focus first and foremost on gathering fact and claims and points of view.

      1. Yes. Now, we could scour the incomplete evidence we have, attempting to draw conclusions from it. That’s normal, very human. However, the legal process does something different, at least in the U.S. The parties present evidence and argument, and then the judge considers issues of law, and, as well, in motions for summary judgment, makes a decision as to factual interpretations, but this should be minimal That is, the Judge can decide that certain alleged facts are clear enough, and without substantial contradiction. to be accepted as fact for possible speedy resolution. Other than that, the finder of fact is the jury. They review only what the parties have presented and what has been accepted as admissible evidence by the Judge. Given the enormous volume of data that has been dumped into the record, and now it is attested evidence, generally admissible, efficiency of analysis dictates to me that I study the presentations of the parties and compare them, as the judge will do. I’ve started that process with this page. That page began as a neutral page, but now contains distinguished personal commentary. If anyone wants a neutral version to be hosted, just ask, I would just take out the personal comments, but right now, this is more efficent for me, to review as I add the Rossi responses. And then there will be the replies and responses, but we are getting there. I know that from looking at all this, the facts of the case become quite clear. Rossi is mostly playing with alternatives, complicating possibilities, not clear fact. He is arguing against plain fact, instead of confirming it and then adding additional facts if needed. What I don’t know if his “disputes” are normal legal practice where he wants to add something, but it looks really bad.

        Example: The Agreement was between IH, Rossi, AEG, and Leonardo Corporation, the New Hampshire corporation. Rossi disputes this, though it is completely and totally obvious from the document, and what Rossi presents as if it was contrary evidence is not. Leonardo Florida was formed in 2010, before the Agreement. So what? The Agreement was not with Leonardo (FL). Rossi’s argument is that the NH corp was merged with the FL corp, and that therefore the FL corp became the party to the agreement. That, however, would be, if true, a later event, not altering the fact that the Agreement was with LC NH and not LC FL. There may be evidence somewhere of merger, but there is also contrary evidence, the fact that LC NH still exists as a corporation. There is also a detail of ownership, NH being owned by Rossi, and FL not. However, Rossi then disputes the claim about FL ownership. But his dispute is a too-typical piece of confusion. (and Rossi was himself confused when deposed, but cites his own confusion as if it were evidence of other than his being confused). LC FL is owned entirely by Florida Energy Trust. Rossi claims that he is the beneficial owner of FET. That may well be true, but this is a distinct ownership, with distinct tax implications, etc. Rossi has thrived for years on confusion, promoted by vague statements intended to be read in a way, and then later shifted to mean something else. That is not going to fly in court.

    1. Only on Planet Rossi is it necessary to explain the obvious, because of the strong tinfoil-hat conspiracy bent. I think it’s obvious, if one is following this blog. It means “this blog,” the collection of people supporting it. Because there is at present only one registered account with author privileges besides me, it is the royal “we.” It means Abd, but not only that, because this blog is intended as a community project and the page is intended to be permanent. On LENR forum, I once used “us” to mean “me and those who agree on this point,” and that was then attacked as indicating that I was speaking for IH.

      No, the first to have case documents are the parties, they get them immediately, by email, because they are on the distribution list. NO party is providing me with documents, I get them from PACER — I pay for them — or sometimes from Eric Walker, who also gets them from PACER.

      I don’t think that the mention of “us” above is sufficiently unclear to require an edit, but if anyone disagrees, comment here remains welcome. Planet Rossi or not. At this point, I am responsible for this blog; that will shift as others choose to become involved.

      It’s fun to create useful pages. What I discovered years ago, on Wikiversity, was that many would complain over and over that web resources (like the Wikipedia article on cold fusion) were horrible, but very few would do the work to improve them. This is typical of human society at present, outside of those working to transform it. We want someone else to straighten up and fly right, while we sit at home watching media and eating potato chips, getting fat and stupid.

  3. Abd, you get a lot of flak, but this is by far the most useful and pertinent information about the case that I’ve ever seen posted anywhere. Thank you for your service.

    1. Thanks. This page is, hopefully, neutral and only summarizes the files, a little, in the annotation. There is much more information and analysis of specific pages on blog posts here, see the Rossi v. Darden category. Those are not neutral, but comments are welcome and corrections are specifically invited. I make mistakes. Welcome to coldfusioncommunity.net.
