Can't. Jani's dead.

A brief bit of research tells me that bench warrants CAN be issued for failing to appear, even in civil cases (which I think is a bit of BS, but that's the law). Lesson here? If you receive a summons to appear in court, show up, even if you don't plan on putting on a defense.

SniperJoe: I think is a bit of BS

Why?

How are we to get people who refuse a summons to come to court?

I think he is thinking of most normal civil cases where if you don't show up, you lose...

However the issue of failing to appear at an asset hearing results in a bench warrant with the judge setting bail at, oh, let's see...the amount of the judgment is resulting in a defacto debtors prison.

Precisely. Normally, if you fail to appear in a civil case, a summary judgement is entered in favor of the plaintiff (who can then proceed to take a number of legal steps to enforce that court order after an asset search is conducted, such as seizing your bank account or removing property). But as IanMoone noted above, we aren't supposed to have debtor's prisons in this country.

His warrant is for the missed court date not the debt, he's an agent so he's most likely a douche who farks people out of money on a daily basis.

That may be true, but this:

"Since when in this country do you put people in jail for having debt?"

Is a very good point and trumps his douchebaggery.

SDRR: That may be true, but this:

Maybe it would if it was also true. But, it really isn't.

Um.... Santa Ana Zoo!

"Defaulted debt payment!"

Old Orange County Courthouse!

"The warrant!"

Bristol Plaza!

"Leigh Steinberg, HUNH! Innnnnn jaaaaaaiiiiiilllllll!"

"Since when in this country do you put people in jail for having debt?" You don't. You put people in jail for disobeying the court order to show up and testify. You can get tossed in jail for being in contempt of court, too, even if it's part of a lawsuit in which you're being falsely accused. That doesn't mean that we toss people in jail for having a frivolous lawsuit against them. This ain't a debtor's prison Jerry's going to...

"He appears to have a phalanx of security protection around him that prevents process servers from gaining access to him unless he allows it."

Indeed, he is General Leighus Decimus Steinbergius of the California Legion.

Anyways, he's being sued by Irvine Co/Donald Bren. I don't care how famous or powerful Steinberg is, Bren is one of the richest people in the US and is ruthless.

Here you go, Subby:

What he needs is a mercurial star wide receiver who needs a certain something to re-start his career. Chad Ochocinco, hire this man to be your new agent!

Oh, and robertus, thank you for reminding us that Warrant broke up after the guitarist was caught dead to rights copping a feel of Jani Lane's daughter.

But its a bullshiat line to try and distract the fact he missed the court date, if he wants to shiat on anyone it should be his lawyer for farking up.

If you miss court dates anyone can be thrown in jail, it doesn't have to be for owing money.

Steinberg said his financial troubles stem in part from his divorce several years ago. He separated from his wife in 2006.

Never, ever, ever get married. Ever. I honestly have no idea why teh gays are so adamant about having this "right."

I can't be the only one who thought of this show and Rockapella singing "The Warrant"

gobluemofo: I can't be the only one who thought of this show and Rockapella singing "The Warrant"

You can and you were.

Why Would I Read the Article: gobluemofo: I can't be the only one who thought of this show and Rockapella singing "The Warrant"

You can and you were.

What am I here, chopped liver?

relcec: I thought the normal remedy was to enter a default judgement against them and take all their shiat. and that seems eminently more reasonable to me.

Completely agreed. If a default judgment was entered in this case, that's a perfectly reasonable remedy for the debt issue, but I guess the judge felt it necessary to issue the bench warrant to address the failure to appear, which is a separate issue. Personally, I think this is the first time I've ever heard of a warrant being issued for failure to appear during a civil case, but I'm not a lawyer.

Good job, "Why Would I read the Article". As Jim Rome would say...."BLOCKED BLOCKED!"

Great work, gumshoes, you've captured Vic the Slick! Now it's time to chase Carmen San Diego! Looks like you'll be going to..... NORTH AMERICA!
