WILLIAM STAHL IRENE GADON STAHL ROYLAN GADON JOHN ERIC GADON v. THE TOWNSHIP OF MONTCLAIR ALAN TREMBULAK KENNETH STRAIT JR ROBERT MCLOUGHLIN PATRICK CIANCITTO (2013)

One United States District Judge has described plaintiff's litigation conduct as “frivolous, and an egregious manipulation of both the New Jersey and federal judicial systems.”   We need not recite more facts and procedural history than the following.

Defendants timely filed a summary judgment motion.   Plaintiffs elected to fail to submit substantive opposition pursuant to Rules 4:46–1, –2(b).  Instead, on the day before the return date for the motion, they filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition in an effort to seek a stay of defendants' defense to the proceeding plaintiffs had initiated and, on the return date of the motion, attempted to remove the same action they had filed to federal court.   They now appeal from the order that granted summary judgment to defendants and the court's denial of other requests for relief they made.   Plaintiffs' arguments lack sufficient merit to warrant discussion in a written opinion.   R. 2:11–3(e)(1)(E).

Affirmed.
