Well this is interesting - he is no longer in the court site - ??!!

So will have to search & see what happened yesterday....
 
I am coming up with absolutely nothing on this case - even in my goog searches. His case has disappeared!! If it got dismissed - the court site would still have it in the systems - as dismissed!

Anyone local or in the U.S. - can you search & see what is going on with this case? TIA if anyone can help! :)

His case # is C-21-357869-1 it was bound over to the District Court.
