wolfriverjoe 1,340 #1681 June 30, 2016 normiss "The Court erred in finding that Plaintiffs’ claim for unjust enrichment was substantially frivolous or groundless Mile- Hi may disagree on how the terms “benefit” or “unjust” should be interpreted, but Citizens’ position is clearly rational. Therefore, the claim was not frivolous" Their attorney gets some good weed. Perhaps. More likely that the lawyers are basically doing what their client (and it's probably only one at this point) wants. She dictates what she thinks their position should be, the lawyers translate it into "legalese." They aren't doing this on contingency (no fee unless they win). They are getting paid for every word, punctuation mark and even space. I mentioned this before. Are they simply doing it for the money? Are they being buffaloed and bulldozered by their client? Is there some sort of "favor" they owe "someone" that they are continuing this case this far? No clue. But I can't see this appeal going anywhere. The trial judge gave CQS every possible break, and in the end, gave them zero. There weren't any substantial errors in the case, there is virtually no chance of any of the elements being reversed. I'm not a lawyer, but I have a reasonable familiarity with it. Far more on the criminal law side than civil, but enough to see how futile this appeal is."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Refugio 0 #1682 June 30, 2016 Quote"....facially erroneous..." mirage62So for our lawyers out there....what does this mean? I think they were trying to use fancy language to say "on the face of it", or in other words, obviously erroneous. Lawyers get paid hundreds of dollars per hour to use words like that.

wmw999 2,121 #1683 June 30, 2016 Naw, I think they're calling either the DZ's lawyer, the DZO, or the judge (or all three) ugly. They're just hoping that the judge will think it's a typo Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

SionaSioux 0 #1684 July 1, 2016 mirage62So for our lawyers out there....what does this mean? As Refugio suggested, the lawyer probably meant prima facie but the weed was too good so it came out a bit different. prima facie : (pry-mah fay-shah) adj. Latin for "at first look," or "on its face," referring to a lawsuit or criminal prosecution in which the evidence before trial is sufficient to prove the case unless there is substantial contradictory evidence presented at trial. A prima facie case presented to a Grand Jury by the prosecution will result in an indictment. Example: in a charge of bad check writing, evidence of a half dozen checks written on a non-existent bank account makes it a prima facie case. However, proof that the bank had misprinted the account number on the checks might disprove the prosecution's apparent "open and shut" case.Always remember the danger. Never forget the fun!

dpreguy 14 #1685 July 1, 2016 In the "Statement of Facts" I was looking for a particular "fact": (evidence produced in the case by expert testimony). What I was looking for was evidence that there was in fact - excessive noise. The gravamen of the Plaintiff's case. (Gravamen= the material part of a grievance) Since I only attended two days of the trial, I was very interested in reading the Appellant's Statement of Facts to find evidence of excessive noise. There was wordsmithed verbiage about 65 decibels and whether it was even a standard. There was a statement that the Purple Otter "could" produce 80 db's, yadda yadda, but nothing approaching what a trial judge would be considering to determine whether the Plaintiff's noise complaint was a valid claim. For the Plaintiff's case to be successful, I would have expected the following 1,2,3 to have been presented: "1. The decibel limit for noise considered to be a violation/ nuisance is 65. 2. The Defendant's aircraft exceeded the 65 db 3. Therefore our complaint is valid and justiciable." (In cases where a fact is not measurable, well, I get that) But, noise is measurable with a decibel meter - you either have it or you don't. Evidence of any other sort, such as "It bothers me", etc is simply a subjective statement, and the level of irritating noise, or the irritating nature of a type of noise varies from individual to individual. I don't even get, from reading the statement of facts, that there was even an applicable decibel standard. If there was such a standard, it doesn't appear that the Plaintiff's established it. "Plain reasoning thinking" says you can't win (or lose) a race without knowing where the finishing line is. At least that's how I view this brief. In short; From my reading of the Appellant's own statement of facts, the burden of proof for a nuisance lawsuit was not been met. I believe the trial court found that too. A perceptive and intelligent reader of this appeal brief, (And I fully believe the Court of Appeals persons are both perceptive and intelligent) in my opinion, should summarily reject the Appellant's contentions because of the Plaintiff's failure to carry the burden of proof. Further, since that minimal burden wasn't met, all of the damages awarded should be valid too. I get all of that from simply reading this brief and seeing their arguments. Keep in mind, all appeals courts rule, based upon the record. They are free of the drama's and emotions etc. that are necessarily part of the case before the original trier of fact. Hopefully I am correct on this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grimmie 173 #1686 July 1, 2016 "To be clear, Mile-Hi operates a local recreation business; a carnival ride that happen to utilize airplanes. There is no reason why a local government should be prevented from regulating or controlling this local business." I made it to page 14. When I read this I started laughing out loud. Did you know the FAA now has Part 1100 that governs roller coasters and Part 1101 that governs dunking booths?This is directly from the FAA Advisory Circular 150/190-7 Titled; Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities. f. Skydiving. Skydiving is an aeronautical activity. Any restriction, limitation, or ban on skydiving on the airport must be based on the grant assurance that provides that the airport sponsor may prohibit or limit aeronautical use for the safe operation of the airport (subject to FAA approval). The following questions present reasonable factors the sponsor might contemplate when developing minimum standards that apply to skydiving: (1) Will this activity present or create a safety hazard to the normal operations of aircraft arriving or departing from the airport? If so, has the local Airports District Office (ADO) or the Regional Airports Office been contacted and have those FAA offices sought the assistance from FAA Flight Standards (FS) and Air Traffic (AT) to assess whether safe airport operations would be jeopardized? (2) Can skydiving operations be safely accommodated at the airport? Can a drop zone be safely established within the boundaries of the airport? Is guidance in FAA AC-90-66A Recommended Standards Traffic Patterns and Practices for Aeronautical Operations at Airports Without Operating Control Towers, 14 CFR Part 105 and United States Parachute Association’s (USPA) Basic Safety Requirements being followed? (3) What reasonable time periods can be designated for jumping in a manner consistent with Part 105? What experience requirements are needed for an on-airport drop zone? (4) What is a reasonable fee that the jumpers and/or their organizations can pay for the privilege of using airport property? (5) Has the relevant air traffic control facility been advised of the proposed parachute operation? Does the air traffic control facility have concerns about the efficiency and utility of the airport and its related instrument procedures? (6) Will it be necessary to determine the impact of the proposed activity on the efficiency and utility of the airport, related instrument approaches or nearby Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)? If so, has FAA Air Traffic reviewed the matter and issued a finding? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingRhenquest 1 #1687 July 2, 2016 Funnily enough, a friend of mine works at Neon, which operates an otter out of the Boulder airport for atmospheric air sampling. They fly long hours in standard patterns around here, and some of the complaints in the suit about behaviors the Mile Hi pilots denied engaging in sound pretty similar to Neon's patterns. It would be funny if they were complaining about the wrong otter, all along.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

If they can't fine a way to rein in Mile-Hi Skydiving then the airport must be closed. I wonder if she sent in complaints about all the Independence Day fireworks noise? What about New Year's celebration noise? That's twice a year, probably about the same number of times per year that Mile High conducts night jumps. Since sunset is about 8:30, and night jump certification requires that they be done an hour after sunset, then 10:30 isn't all that "late". I wonder how many of those city council members have an e-mail filter that blocks or ignores Kimmie's e-mails? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to visiting again, sorry I could not stay longer then a few hours, but I was busy spending my additional tourist dollars all over the front range and in Estes. P.S.
