Judge Cardone dismisses most of the Callier's case

Judge Cardone dismissed all of the stalking complaints made by the Calliers in the case of Callier v Bauer yesterday. Her comment in doing so was that 18 U.S.C. 2261A is a criminal statute and must be brought by a U.S. Prosector as a criminal charge. She said that private parties cannot bring criminal complaints against anyone. Then she also dismissed their state claim also based on the same theory. Then she gave them until August 10th to prove the rest of their claims and the actual damages which they claim resulted. They must prove at least $75,000 in damages or she will dismiss all the rest of their complaint.

It is obvious that the judge is certain they can't do that but is giving them a chance to prove their case anyway.
