Lawsuit: Pending Entreaty of Recusal for Case 11 (Mag. Ct., 2025)

[Nyeogmi]

IN THE CHANCERY OF THE KINGDOM OF ALEXANDRIA
ENTREATY OF RECUSAL

With apologies to the Chancery:

• On June 12, 2025, the Ministry of Justice filed this complaint.
• On June 13, 2025, the court froze Defendants Maelzarun and Mr_GrapeJelly's assets in this case.
• On June 18, 2025, I became counsel for Defendants Maelzarun and Mr_GrapeJelly in this case.
• On December 13, 2025, the court made its last filing in this case. In this filing, it imposed a 48 hour deadline on the Crown for its "last round of questioning."
• On December 20, 2025, the Crown made its last attempt to continue the case.
• On December 24, 2025, Magistrate Zodd (the court in this case) made its last filing in any case.
• On January 2, 2026, I filed an Entreaty of Dismissal in this case, observing that the prosecution had made no attempt to complete its ostensible last round of questioning.

The Court (after 9 days) has not responded to the pending entreaty for dismissal at all. The Crown has been responding to several other cases in the interim and is clearly aware of this one.

SOLA §8 prescribes the following:

• Because the judicial officer has "failed to respond within seven days without an extension," then -- unless there is reasonable cause as determined by the Chancery -- there are "grounds for removal of that judicial officer."
• Because the filing party (the Crown) has taken no "steps in furtherance of the case after seven days," the case "shall be dismissed."

This is significant to Defendants because, for as long as Crown continues to delay the verdict, their assets remain frozen. (all assets -- amounting to more than the amount that would be paid in fines if Defendants lost)

The current state of affairs is therefore worse for Defendants than merely losing the case, in spite of the fact that Defendants have not been convicted of anything yet. Crown unfairly benefits from this sluggish prosecution as an alternative to securing its remedy by favorable verdict.
