A "Short and Plain" Statement.

Should have paid attention in civpro.

A Tacoma, WA lawyer filed a 465-page lawsuit (it had an 8 page title!) and when the Judge got it he responded with this order:

Plaintiff has a great deal to say,

But it seems he skipped Rule 8(a).

His Complaint is too long,

Which renders it wrong,

Please rewrite and refile today.
