Hard to imagine but,YES, that was topped

What happened here was as if , first, the district court judge said:

 

- Look, I am going to issue an order against this plaintiff for doing a basic thing he has the RIGHT to do.

 

Then he issued an order giving 21 days to serve the complaint and took away the remaining of the 120 days time given to plaintiffs to serve their complaints.

 

The appellate court judge then looked at that and said:

 

-You think I cannot top that? I am going to issue an order against this plaintiff for doing a basic thing he was REQUIRED to do.

 

Then she issued the order granting  the defendant time extension starting from after ruling on a motion calling for a dismissal because the appeal was not filed until the final judgment.
