From Montgomery Blair Sibley, Jeane Palfrey's attorney: As a result of Judge Kessler order of yesteday which set a hearing for Wednesday, November 28, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 26A of the federal courthouse in Washington D.C. on whether the injunction prohibiting Ms. Palfrey's suit against a former escort should be dissolved, Jeane has this day sought from the Clerk of Court subpoenas for Senator David Vitter and Harlan Ullman, former customers of Paula Neble, an independant-contractor escort of Ms. Palfrey's escort service.
01 November update:
Today, Judge Kessler entered two Orders.
The first order granted Jeane's request to hold an evidentiary hearing on Ms. Palfrey's request to dissolve the temporary injunction which prohibits Ms. Palfrey from proceeding in her civil suit. That suit -- Palfrey v. Neble -- was filed against those former-escorts who have breached their contracts with Ms. Palfrey not to engage in illegal activity. That hearing is set for Wednesday, November 28, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 26A of the federal courthouse in Washington D.C. and should prompt the government to call one or more of the former escorts as witnesses.
Second, Judge Kessler entered an order indicating that she would not take up Ms. Palfrey's selective prosecution argument citing Jeane's failure to demonstrate a basis to believe that the prosecution of her was improperly motivated.
