I never said that there is going one way or the other. But until the appeals court rules the proceedings are stayed, so the sanctions are stayed as well. The appellate court can reinstate the sanctions but it is up to the appeals court. It very well maybe a frivolous appeal but they are appealing as the law allows. The appeals court is not a selective court, if there is an appeal as defined by the code of civil procedure, the appeals court must hear it.
Again it maybe frivolous but the court of appeals for the 4th district has ruled that a non named third party who doesn't have control over the named party or is not under the authority of the named party cannot be compelled to give deposition or be compelled to testify. The Mississippi or Louisiana appellate court also recently decided that Watchtower has no control over CCJW and cannot compel either to testify in a civil proceeding.
