Stern’s Motion to Quash Blogger Subpoenas
Howard K Stern has filed a motion to quash the subpoenas that were served on the husband and wife blogging team of Rose Speaks. This was done in the lawsuit, Virgie Arthur vs Howard K. Stern and CBS Studios and KPRC Houston
Stern bases his motion on Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(d) stating that discovery has not yet started in this matter.

*Note, since some people want to nit pick, these are not motion to quash, they are “objections”.
I would like to address everyone that comments on this site. In the past week, I have had to ban two people for comments containing character assassination, and this morning there was a threat against another poster. This site welcomes opinions from both sides, but from now on, I am going to have to delete comments and ban people that will not follow the rules.
When in discussion with an opposing view point, please just discuss your opinion and do not call each other names or swear at them or accuse them of anything. I have been guilty of the same on other sites as well but I am not going to argue with people anymore. I’ll just state my case and move on. I know it is hard to do but things seem to be getting out of hand everywhere.
Please help me keep this site a pleasant place to discuss the many facets of the life and death of Anna Nicole. Thank you….QV

Now why would Lin Wood file these for Rose and Ken unless………
ROTFLMAO….makes ya wonder!
because there were NO PAID BLOGGERS. ithink QV can also attest to that.
If they were compensated in anyway, including promise of future compensation and/or employement by an associated (as in being paid for moderating and site) that is is quid por quo and someone is going to be in trouble.

******************************
There were no paid bloggers that I know of on my site but after Rose got her own site, she sent out letters to researchers saying thank you from the “Liaison for Howard K. Sterns legal team”. Also Rose said that I ruined her “attorney work product” status by outing her, but she still kept doing what she was doing.
Whatcha scared of Howard?
IMO Wood was used to controlling bloggers during the Ramsey days…things are different now….the web is more active….people are not so easily intimidated and are enjoying expressing their opinions on this case. So Wood’s office hanging out on your site QV is not going to scare away any bloggers/posters. They must be eagerly awaiting the next installment (so are we LOL)
Art is paid and he’s a blogger
Nazarian was paid and he was blogging.
….and so on…and so on!
Hello Mr. Wood – How much are you charging the baby to read this site?
I have always respected QV and this site. I don’t name call. I try to not be antagonizing in any post I make. I do read this blog in case there is something that may show Howard or anyone in a different light, other than speculation and personal opinions. I rely on the actual court documents to make my personal decisions. I believe Howard is completely innocent of murder or even manslaughter. Did he make some mistakes? Yes, we all do. Hell, Ford Shelly himself said, before the fight over the house, “Howard and Anna would never hurt that boy.”
I can assure you that no one involved in RoseSpeaks is a paid blogger. If the hard drives have to be turned over, so be it. That will be proof there is nothing more than people who got together for the same reason, to search the truth through researching court documents, legal papers, etc. It’s not about not turning the hard drives over. It’s about freedom of speech and thought process. Everything posted on RoseSpeaks, other than a few posters who don’t know how to control themselves, is backed up by court documents or inconsistencies in interviews, things like that.
It all started with QV’s site and the belief by everyone involved that the media went crazy, pointing finger without cause, etc… It saddens me that the friendships that were made here have seperated, no matter the reason. We are on different ends of the spectrum now and each of us stand strong by our beliefs. Doesn’t mean that any of us are bad people. Doesn’t mean that we have to call each other names. There are some that are a little off their rocker and will stop at nothing to try and hurt someone with words but how can a person sitting on the other side of a computer screen, whom you have no personal connection to and truthfully don’t even really know if what they say about themselves is true, hurt you? They can’t me. I don’t let what they say rule me. It doesn’t affect me in my daily life so it’s no biggie. I wish more people could let go of the hate or bashing thrown their way. Maybe that way things would have been different in the blogging world. Who knows? Then again, you will always have those that stop at nothing.
Maybe I should have read the motion first. This is about “implied” personal jurisdicition and nothing else. By serving this subpeona, if accepted and acted on, it implies that HKS accepts personal jurisdiciton in Texas.
I betg to differ, Uh oh. It STARTED when a 20 year old boy died in his mother’s hospital room from an overdose of methadone. I do believe Howard is responsible for the methadone getting from point A to point B. I became more convinced by the exposure of the Death pictures especially after seeing that disgusting clown video….and he thinks he can make us swallow his spin? Howard destroyed himself ALL BY himself, and the wheels of justice are turning tighter and tighter. I thank goodness for sites like this that are not afraid of some overbearing attorney with misplaced delusions of grandeur. I can’t wait for the HKS vs O’Quinn, but you can bet Lin will want to settle….he doesn’t dare take it to court. I can’t wait for VA vs HKS, but you can bet Lin will offer to settle….he doesn’t dare take that to court. Howard can’t afford for 12 logical, intelligent people to hear the truth, in my opinion. To any DOJ or DEA people who may be reading this site for fun…I say, offer immunity to Dr. E and she will sing like a canary.
have notof one person, saying Howard ordered pills of any kind in his name. i have seen The articles on Anna’s personnal computer, where she ordered her drugs, and p[ut the names of anyone she wanted, on them.She had done that, before she met Howard., and she would mix her own cocktails. she also would take more than the dosage, specified. Who carried her “BAG” when she was with Ben Thompson? Who mixed her cocktails then?? ANYONE who knew Anna, and was around her, knew she did every thing in excess. Vergie also knows that.
Howard was on the phone with Kapoor and Dr. E….google it.
You have not seen “articles” on Anna’s computer where she ordered drugs online. Please try to stick to the truth.
SO ??? link to jhis ordering meds
Uh Oh, your post is very timely. I was just writing about the same thing and I also posted it above.

Anna was one lazy gal. She loved it when people waited on her and carried her bags and pups. Howard tried to convince Kapoor to prescribe the drugs Dr. E had requested. Kapoor knew better. Howard testified that he controlled the drugs to keep Anna from overmedicatied. He controlled her to death…proof was found blue and lifeless on a bed at the HRH. Howard who rarely came unglued from Anna chose that day to go check out the boat Anna bought, but that has somehow ended up in the name of Crackers, a corporation where there are only 2 shareholders, one of them being Howards Bahama attorney, Wayne Munroe….wonder how that little name change came about. Howard, who helped Dr. E. stick a very sick Anna in a tub of ice water rather than take her to a hospital where she could be helped. Howard, who tells conflicting stories of his movements on that day. Howard, who lied about the drugs in his name, under oath, no less. Howard, who, if you can believe him, and I don’t, admits he had a relationship with his client that was unethical, and therefore was kept secret. Howard, who lied about being the father of Dannielynn after Ben Thompson refused to….and there is another story that has not become publicly known as yet, which I think Howard uses to keep certain other interested parties from telling the truth. Of course, this is my opinion, but it’s a very strong opinion.
Uh Oh
Very nice
Carole, to sort of continue on with you thoughts, why would anyone necessarily believe that only Anna had access to her computer? So WHAT if the meds were ordered on her personal computer? Anyone who entered that house, or certainly anyone who lived there, could have used that computer at any given time. I’ll bet almost every person here has, at some time, used someone elses computer or let someone use theirs.
If we could read her emails we would most certainly know if she did the ordering. I can’t see Anna successfully spelling names of medications, can anyone else?
I hope I did not scare anyone with my last post. Let me give you some examples of unacceptable comments.
1. So and so is a murderer.
2. So and so is trailer trash and a pig.
3. Hey you stupid @ss, you don’t know sh!t.
Your opinions are fine but don’t go overboard with vile accusations and name calling. That is all I am trying to say and most of you know where to draw the line.
Reading this thread, it all looks ok to me. For example, JoJo’s comment. Hard hitting, but not out of line. I would ask the same question..
Thanks and I am off to the dentist.
Okay, now I’m confused. Didn’t Stern attend a Deposition on this case in Texas? Isn’t a Deposition considered “discovery”. If so, then how can he argue that discovery hasn’t started yet when discovery already already happened? And, just for sake of argument, let’s say that the Deposition was only on Jurisdictional matters. Aren’t these subpoena’s also addressing the jurisdictional matter? So what is Stern/Wood afraid of?
here’s my take – that Stern objection isn’t going anywhere because one of the purposes of deposing Rose is to show that HKS had dealings with Texas (Rose) for the purpose of showing jurisdiction. Wilma was allowed to be deposed for “jurisdictional purposes only” – ok Wood didn’t bother to depose her for one hour in the judge’s chambers but nonetheless a deposition for jurisdictional purposes was allowed and Wilma was a “third party” as is Rose. So the same thing will be allowed here. Mc Cabe is no dummy, much as some would like to think. This is just my analysis of the whole thing – I may not be right.
Hey Karma, HKS was deposed RE HKS vs O’Q….these are concerning VA vs HKS…he was deposed in Atlanta January 4 regarding jurisdiction and failed to bring requested documents, claiming the bankruptcy court had them. I’m sure they would have given him copies if he had requested them. I will go one better and say he has copies anyway, IMO
Sounds pretty good to me Mouse
Thanks Anony Mouse (cute nic btw) and Carole. So many lawsuits involving the same people, I get confused sometimes.
Anyway, the way Ms. Mouse explained it, that sounds pretty clear that the objection will be noted but not allowed. McCabe is an excellent attorney, so I will look forward to reading his response to the objection.
And if we behave and play nice, maybe QV will link us to those documents when available. I also want to thank her for being on top of these new documents.

Carole can’t you tell us what the other thing that Howard is controlling people with. Is it what is on the video or something else?
QV we really thank you for such a pleasent site you have here.
Guessing Carole:
little things that swim in dishes?
Thanks, QV. I appreciate what you do in making this a pleasant site to visit.
someone went and put Virgie Arthurs address on Art Harris site. I think this is disgraceful. I hope Virgie finds this out.

********************************
Maybe McCabe needs a heads up on that, email it to him……..
You think that’s bad you should see what they are saying on TMZ right now – someone stole Whack’s name and is trashing Virgie big time
yeah, I saw that so let’s ALL post as Whack…haha
Someone just put Virgies address on Art Harris’s site/
Why are people so rotton?
brilliant deduction Anony Mouse!
AG, let us know if he leaves the address up. If he has a speck of decency he will delete it, and the poster.
That’s one of many reasons I don’t post at tmz.
4:13pm CST Virgies address still up on Harris’s sorry excuse for a website
I do hope someone has given a head’s up to McCabe.
Art took down the address but left the link to the white pages up.
As usual, Art refused to post my comment. This is exactly what I said:
“Perhaps I’m not looking hard enough, but I fail to see any mention of Virgie asking for money in those emails.”
He’ll post all kinds of nasties directed at Virgie, but a reasonable comment pointing out a fact doesn’t stand a chance. I just can’t understand why the man threw his whole reputation away for the likes of Howard.
Virgie did not write those emails, the guy from Splash wrote them.
If the emails were conventional why are they on Art’s site.
oops, spelling error.Confinential
oops, I’m not going to correct it again.LOL
re Art Harris
it’s called spin
they assume nobody will read the actual docs
Art is just a cheerleader for the sternies – whips them up rah rah rah go team – then they go to TMZ and trash Virgie.
http://gossip.commongate.com/tag/vergie+arthur I thought this article was quite telling, what Vergie was thinking about when she went on the stand in Flordia. She was upset because howard was the ONLYONE making money, she says
i also saw her on the stand saying that
Crazy Gossip dot com? Now I’d sure call that a reliable source. You just know that with that name they’d be reputable. *insert rolling eyes here*
I saw her and heard her with my own eyes and ears, and so did thousands of others. dear. it is documented in stone
