I agree with Mr. Rafter. The time to have made that argument was when you received the ticket.

You will need to contact your local paper and ask them.

I have moved your question to the criminal defense section.

It appears that you are being sued for civil damages as opposed to the criminal charges that were dismissed so no double jeopardy.

I have moved your question to the immigration section for better review.

The courts rely upon evidence and, in this context, that means medical records. Without documentation showing fairly extensive medical treatment...

I agree with Mr. Kalish. This is a positive sign but there is a saying that "the court speaks through its written orders."

In my opinion you are the victim of a crime and should report this to the police.

You have no injuries so no damages beyond the cost of a meal.

Can you claim to be judgment proof? Sure. But I do not suggest doing so unless that is true. Further, even if true, you should not simply ignore...
