"Plaintiff also shanks this claim.''
/You have to love Judge Wallace Dixon's opinion in throwing out Andrew Giuliani's suit against Duke. He artfully demonstrates why people can't stand most judges.
Judge Dixon takes a serious proceeding and uses it to audition as Gary McCord's joke writer, circa 1992.
Dixon noted that Giuliani "tees up his case'' by alleging he was victim of a secret expulsion with no opportunity to defend himself. He also observed that Giuliani asserted he had properly made a claim for breach of contract. Dixon wrote, "His analysis, however, slices far from the fairway.''
In another section, Dixon asserted that Giuliani was trying to change arguments "like trying to change clubs after hitting the golf ball.''
Likewise with Giuliani's reference to a "good faith'' covenant: "Plaintiff attempts to take a mulligan with this argument; however, this shot also lands in the drink.''
And as for interference with a contract: "Plaintiff also shanks this claim.''
