CONCURRING OPINION
I join the majority opinion and write separately in light of the dissenting
opinion’s contentions.
Christine Reule is entitled to appropriate and respectful treatment in the
litigation process. So is the trial court. So are the appellees and their counsel. So
are the jurors who fulfilled their civic duty; heard her case; and had the duration of
their jury service prolonged by her conduct. So are other litigants – including other
pro se litigants – seeking their share of finite court time and resources to obtain
timely resolution of disputes important to their lives. The trial court acted with
restraint, patience, and courtesy during the proceedings below when faced with
challenging conduct that frequently was disruptive, dilatory, and disrespectful.
/s/ William J. Boyce
Justice
Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce and McCally (McCally, J.,
majority) (Frost, C.J. dissenting).
