    Judge orders `rock, paper, scissors' game

    Items compiled from Tribune news services
    Published June 10, 2006

    TAMPA, FLORIDA -- A federal judge miffed at the inability of opposing attorneys to agree on even the slightest details of a lawsuit ordered them to settle their latest dispute with a game of "rock, paper, scissors."

    The argument was over a location to take the sworn statement of a witness in an insurance lawsuit.

    In an order signed Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell scolded both sides and ordered them to meet at a neutral location at 4 p.m. June 30 to play a round of the hand-gesture game. If they can't agree on the neutral location, he said, they'll play on the steps of the federal courthouse.

    The winner gets to choose the location for the witness statement.

    "We're going to have to do it," said David Pettinato, lead attorney for the plaintiff, Avista Management. "I guess I'd better bone up on `rock, paper, scissors' rules."
