Mail Returned As Undeliverable

It seems Johnny Chisholm has rather abruptly moved out of his office in Pensacola.

The latest batch of Orders in the DeForest case were mailed to that office address, but were sent back. The court clerk filed a copy of the envelope yesterday, labelling it "Mail Returned as Undeliverable":





And it would appear that Chisholm left no forwarding address.

Addendum 5/15/10: And court documents sent to Chisholm's office in the Bardfield case were returned by the Post Office as well:




It would appear the bird has flown the coop, so to speak.

Also, if you've missed them there have been some important updates to earlier posts below...just scroll down to the latest addendum:

1) A split decision from the magistrate on whether to default Chisholm in the civil cases here; her recommendations get sent up to the district judge on the 18th.

2) One current Chisholm Chapter 11 bankruptcy was just saved from the brink, while another has begun circling the drain, here.

Johnny Chisholm Re-Employs His Former Attorney

Well this is certainly an interesting development. Granted, it's not a representation in the civil cases we've been following, but as Chisholm has been holding himself out these days as a defenseless pro se defendant, unable to hire a lawyer to defend himself versus a "well-funded" "aggressive and skilled" team of plaintiffs' attorneys, this behind-the-scenes revelation is eyebrow-raising, to say the least.

And on top of that...while everyone suspected Chisholm had a "ghost writer" for his latest filings, to be honest this is probably the last lawyer on the planet I would have thought would have agreed to fill that role.

But then again, Fehr did make a brief post-withdrawal appearance in the PRG case, so perhaps this should be not-so-surprising.

In any event, it'll be interesting to see if plaintiffs' attorneys in the Bardfield and DeForest cases bring this new representation issue up (as they did in the recent "Leave-To-File" motions), and what will be the district judge's reaction (who approved Fehr's withdrawal back in July of 2009) if and when he should learn of it.
