Insurer Privilege Underwriters took its name too far trying to obtain privileges from the Arkansas Court of Appeals to which it was not entitled and acted contumaciously by disobeying the Circuit Court’s discovery order. In Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange v. Brandon Adams, No. CV-23-474, 2024 Ark.App. 571, Court of Appeals of Arkansas, Division I (November 20, 2024) the circuit court granted appellee Brandon Adams’s motion to enforce court order and motion for sanctions, imposed a “sanction fee in the amount of $5,000” against appellant Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange (“Privilege”), and awarded Adams $2,500 in attorneys’ fees and costs under Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure 37; denied Privilege’s motion for summary judgment; and denied Privilege’s motion for protective order, which sought to bar Adams from taking any depositions. FACTS In an insurance-coverage action in which Adams sued Privilege, his insurer, for failing to provide him a defense in a lawsuit filed against Adams and several other individuals and entities. Privilege answered Adams’s coverage complaint denying that it owed Adams a duty to defend the lawsuit and asserting a number of the subject policies’ exclusions as affirmative defenses to coverage. Adams served written discovery on Privilege. Privilege responded with objections and inadequate responses to Adams’s discovery requests. Adams moved to compel Privilege to respond and produce documents and the Court of Appeals ordered Privilege respond and to pay Adams’s attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $2,000. Privilege produced its supplemental interrogatory answers and supplemental privilege log on March 2, 2022 but did not comply with the circuit court’s discovery order. Contrary to the court’s order Privilege refused to amend its privilege log, provide full and complete answers to Adams’s interrogatories, or produce any witnesses for deposition, and instead, Privilege moved for summary judgment. Adams then filed his “Motion to Enforce Court Order and Motion for Sanctions and Incorporated Brief” on April 25, 2022. On December 20, 2022, the circuit court held a hearing on Adams’s motion for sanctions and Privilege’s motions for summary judgment and for protective order. The circuit court announced that it would sanction Privilege for its failure to comply with the circuit court’s February 2022 discovery order. From the bench, the circuit court made specific findings that Privilege had failed to comply with the provisions of that order requiring Privilege to amend its privilege log to provide sufficient information to allow the circuit court and Adams to evaluate Privilege’s claims of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection and to fully answer Adams’s interrogatories. TO ESTABLISH CONTEMPT Generally, in order to establish contempt, there must be willful disobedience of a valid order of a court. Contempt is a matter between the court and the litigant, and not between the two opposing litigants. Before one can be held in contempt for violating the court’s order, the order must be definite in its terms, clear as to what duties it imposes, and express in its commands. Contempt is divided into criminal contempt and civil contempt. The standard of review on appeal depends on whether the contempt sanction was civil or criminal in nature. The circuit court imposed a fine and fees that were to be paid to Adams. A contempt fine for willful disobedience that is payable to the complainant is remedial and therefore constitutes a fine for civil contempt. Privilege refused to comply with a valid discovery order from the circuit court because Privilege disputed Adams’s entitlement to the discovery underlying that order. Instead, Privilege moved for summary judgment, attempting to render moot that prior discovery order. The circuit court rightly held Privilege in contempt for its willful disobedience of the circuit court’s February 2022 discovery order and imposed a fine of $5,000. Once the February 2022 discovery order was entered, Privilege was required to comply with that order, not question the propriety of that order or when Privilege should comply with it. The circuit court was unequivocal in finding at the December 2022 hearing that it was sanctioning Privilege for its violation of the February 2022 discovery order. The circuit court then went on to explain that Privilege had disobeyed its February 2022 order by failing to provide contact information for the witnesses identified in response to Interrogatory No. 1 and by failing to provide a privilege log with sufficient information to allow the circuit court and Adams to evaluate the claim of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection. Thus, the Court of Appeals held that the circuit court did not clearly err in holding Privilege in contempt. The circuit court had ample authority to use its contempt powers to enforce its February 2022 discovery order. ZALMA OPINION This order must be more than embarrassing to Privilege and to the insurance industry. Parties to litigation are not entitled to refuse to fulfill an order of the court. Regardless of the name of the insurer it had no special privileges and must fulfill the order to the letter and pay the sanctions including the extra sanctions placed by the Court of Appeals.

My name is Jake Lang & I have been a January 6 Hostage - incarcerated & tortured without a trial for 3 years, 10 months and 5 days by the Deepstate! I will not accept a pardon unless ALL Jan 6 Prisoners are pardoned. The 1561+ January 6 Political Prisoners are unanimously calling upon President Trump to SAVE OUR LIVES & follow his heart: Pardon All J6ers on Day One NO MAN LEFT BEHIND TO ROT IN THE GULAG! We have drafted the J6 Day One Freedom Petition ( J6Pardons.com ) that has been signed by tens of thousands of red blooded Americans, including Conservative Luminaries: Jim Hoft, Laura Loomer, Darren Beattie, Diamond & Silk, Grant Stinchfield, Brandon Straka, Cara Castronuova, Wayne Allyn Root, Ann Vandersteel, Doug Billings, Jeff Crouere, Behizy, Matt Wallce, Couy Griffin, Treniss Evans, David Sumrall & Suzzane Monk The weaponization of the DOJ has gone too far, and destroyed thousands of lives with an overzealous political persecution of Trump supporters. Trump knows how it feels to be railroaded, denied due process & an impartial jury. To be convicted by the corrupt media before you ever step foot in court. Every Jan 6er was entrapped by our own Federal Government at the Capitol, a clear set up to paint Trump & his supporters as domestic terrorists!! The hundreds of patriotic men who have assault charges (590 out of 1561 defendants) such as myself - were forced to defend our own lives & the lives of the unarmed women and elderly around us. The Capitol Police murdered a young defenseless woman Roseanne Boyland, a 38 year old angel from Georgia in my arms. After this many men including myself took up a serious defensive position. The numerous award winning documentaries on J6 prove that we were NOT the aggressors, but responded as brave American men do to oppression & violence: we stood our ground & defended those around us. Nearly 4 years I have traded tears and prayers with my brothers in the Gulag, getting to know each and every man & see his Godly character - I can unequivocally say this crop of patriots & Christians are the BEST AMERICANS WE HAVE: they are bold and brave, kind and concerned fathers & husbands, leaders and lovers of God and Country. Unbreakable, indomitable, unrelenting 1776 patriots who would die to defend our Constitution without moments hesitation. Humble hard workers, military veterans & school teachers. Bus drivers, doctors, Olympic athletes, NFL players, Broadway stars and missionary servants of the Lord. Carpenters, plumbers, roofers, electricians, fathers, husbands: Man amongst men. This outrageous stain on American history, similar to the Japanese internment camps in World War II, has gone on long enough. Its time to set free the captives, and break the shackles of two tiered justice. Its time to release, pardon & fully expunge / erase the records of every single January 6 Hostage. Point blank period. History calls us to this moment of National Reconciliation, the American people have all but lost their faith in the judicial system watching Trump & the J6 witch hunt continue for 4 long years. We need to restore belief & trust in American jurisprudence. The immediate release of the Jan 6ers is where we start this battle to revive our degenerated institutions that used to be sacred. We are trusting the new MAGA Attorney General will also put an end to the Weaponized DOJ and immediately HALT all new J6 investigations & arrests, and DISMISS all current pending cases. How many J6 grandmothers need to be ripped out of their homes at gunpoint by a tyrannical FBI GESTAPO squadron and railroaded into federal prisons before we STOP THIS MADNESS!?! My conscious is clear before the Savior of man: that just as blanket pardons were issued after the Civil War to restore national unity, we too should be looking at this national healing moment with reverence & earnest expectations! President Trump will not let us down, we stand behind you Mr. President! NOT A SINGLE J6ER WAS GIVEN A FAIR TRIAL!!!

NO VOCALS - JUST REVERB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuhEGYeI5Go&list=PLnpIc_rV9Xl5wFlqu9PY9Hsx-C87nUieW

It's time to confront the stark reality - the treatment of our nation's veterans who participated in the January 6 Capitol protests is nothing short of an outrage. Here's why Matt Gaetz stands out as the ideal candidate for Attorney General: Gaetz has been unapologetically vocal in his support for these veterans, who, after serving our country, find themselves under the harsh scrutiny of the law for what he believes was an exercise of their Constitutional rights.

If you thought Peanut the Squirrel was bad, wait until hear about the time that Fauci locked beagle puppies in a room with hungry sandflies, put their heads in cages, removed some of their vocal cords, and let the sandflies eat the dogs alive...

A dik-dik is a small antelope species belonging to the genus Madoqua, native to the savannas and scrubs of eastern and southern Africa. Characterized by their compact size, large eyes, and elongated snouts, dik-diks typically weigh between 10 to 15 pounds and stand about 12 to 16 inches tall at the shoulder. They are known for their shy and elusive nature, and they primarily feed on leaves, fruits, and grasses. Dik-diks are also notable for their monogamous breeding habits and unique vocalizations, which include a distinctive alarm call that sounds like a high-pitched "dik-dik."

Israel's MOST FEARSOME Secret Unit 8200 Exposed #NoMoreGoatShaggers! On the afternoon of Tuesday, September 17, 2024, a strange series of explosions rocked Lebanon. In the span of minutes, the beeping of pagers carried by members of Hezbollah, a powerful militant and political group backed by Iran, echoed a few times, nearly in unison, through busy streets, grocery stores, and homes. Hezbollah, known for its decades-long and vocal opposition to Israel, had long relied on these devices to coordinate secret communications. But this time, something was different. The pagers suddenly detonated—small but powerful blasts erupted simultaneously. Panic and chaos quickly set in, leaving bystanders and Hezbollah operatives alike in shock. The attack caused hundreds of casualties, from rank-and-file employees to Mojtaba Amini, Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon. Initial investigations revealed that the blasts were no accident, as each explosion originated from the same type of pager. Hezbollah leaders and Lebanese media swiftly pointed the finger at Israel, accusing them of orchestrating a sophisticated cyber-attack. Suspicion soon turned toward Unit 8200, Israel's mysterious top-secret cyber-intelligence unit. Terrified Hezbollah members are now wondering what other devices the Israelis might explode next…
