[Assistant] Judge Millian has ruled on this case, nothing on either side. Here, step in, uh, the plaintiff coming out of the courtroom with, with, uh, what's going through your mind here after this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are all dogged up. You are like living through your dogs. Oh yeaah. Right? Yeaah. That's what happens when you got no kids. Yeaah. What do you like better, dogs or people? Uh, dogs. They're more loyal.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be number one. Did you find anything? Yeah, it's called George Carlin. I'm glad I'm dead. It got sent to private because the family sued them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, they were making it and the family said no? No, the fa- it was like, uh, it was a guy from a podcast who made it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and he posted it on YouTube and the family sued him and he made it private. And then he later said that it was actually written by people, but I think it was AI.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, since it's happened, I do not walk down that street. I don't take my dog anywhere near there. I'm very limited where I take him because I'm very afraid to walk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a little busy. I was going there. That's all I have to say. If you had gone there, it would have made you look a little bit better. Yes it would have. But I was going there. Okay, this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through the fence? No, through the fence. There is a broken part of my fence and they got through it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I don't think that's okay at all, but they also found other ways to get out of the gate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was an incident where uhm, my dog had ran away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the, he attacked the little dog, and he obviously said multiple times he was punching on the dog, you don't think the people would attack him after he got, he was getting punched on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an altercation where, uh, my dog was loose and the first- Another time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called her and I told her that this is not what I was expecting. I have friends that they already have the license, they checked the program, I showed it to her, and they all said that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he may not satisfied with your decision. No, why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boiler not work. He fix and this is a new boiler and still whatever he did is not no good. So I'm not happy with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] June 10th, around that time. So how long were you there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, ver- very shortly, I'm sorry, I want- I think it was July 10th. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, the second day that we were there, she, uh, tried to run my mother over with her truck. How? I have a police report. Uhm, well she got in her truck and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went in anger trying to run her over. My mother called me, said call the police.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the lease that she amended, uh, for July.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had every opportunity to not write that lease because of any damages that she thought that we had caused and shortly after that we were out and did not return without a police escort. We had no chance to cause any damages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ones that are important are circled and tapped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judge, we did not break anything in her home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we could do it in a day. Now that we have somewhere to live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's benefits in it. Okay, so explain this to me. So women wear high heels that hurt their feet, and they get hair extensions that hurt their head. What's going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harvey? Okay Doug, well look, the plaintiff was super smart here because what she did was she documented her gripe and the defendant didn't respond and that gives her a huge advantage coming into court. And that will do it for this case, litigants, for the next case on the way into the courtroom, right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So would you rely on an oral promise from your landlord to, oh yeaah, go ahead and paint the house, yeaah, go ahead and do whatever, to alter the house, would you rely on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well it is a verbal agreement that is, that, it's, it's binding. But you do it. What do you say? I would do it as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, they're talking behind me saying what I was going to say, which is that you get this in writing, either in email or text, at the very least, before you alter anything. Trust me on this. And that will do it for this case. Lettigants for the next case on the way into the courtroom, right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court. Next case on the dock, the plaintiff sold the defendant a machine that charges air conditioning units and got stiffed. But the defendant says the plaintiffs tried to change the deal. It's the case of she's trying to get her free on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, if you do business with somebody, uhm, where you owe them money and you hand them cash and they won't give you a receipt, what do you do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't think of that. That's actually a really good idea, going inside the card room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well Doug, look, I gotta say, the video is really a good idea, but if you rent an apartment, buying a car, whatever it is where you need proof that you paid, if they won't give you a receipt, do not give them the money. Period. Period. Period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff finally gets her money back. Tokyo Bradshaw has just come out of the courtroom. Judges didn't believe you. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hilarious. It's alright, well, it's hilarious. She gets, she gets her money back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, very good. Thank you. You didn't come off too well in court. Thank you. According to the judge, Tokyo's on his way. Here comes Miss Fountain. And you're smiling now. Hello.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in a case where neither the plaintiff nor the defendant had enough evidence to prove their case, it ends up being a wash. Nobody gets anything here. So Ms. Pierre, how do you feel about this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, listen, you know, you almost sound like a slum landlord. You're not doing anything and she's living in a house with running water still in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boy, did you need un-paying cash for everything with no receipts? Stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're right. Okay, good for you. Alright, sorry about this. That was kind of a fascinating dispute, Harvey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff will finally get that invoice paid. She'll get the $800. Here's Nancy Harris. The judge said you guys gotta wake up and do...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much better bookkeeping in your offices. And it's interesting that you weren't there at the time when all of this came down. But you were there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, if you had, you wouldn't be here in court today. You would have known.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, good enough. Thank you very much. Thank you. Alright, you must sign a few documents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had people came before her. They want to pay me $1500. She came same time. She wanted to, she only had $1200. She looked desperate and needy. And I just said, I'm going to give it to you the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like it was, I put a paint, paints, and you can put a lawn mower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, and also she been harassing me. Okay. She got the court enforcement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I went there there was no water leak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bought that, I am not sure. I bought the property about 6-7 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the thing is we have the best justice system in the board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if people had to have proof in order to prove in court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if they work, they can find other arrangements inside the apartment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I doubt that someone would secretly grease the wheel in order to get a return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He tried to start the car, he said, you better not start this car. Okay, so he put it on the truck, drove us back to Pennsylvania, to my house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My wife and I, we visit my daughter in West Milford, New Jersey. So we, we arrived there and I drove up our driveway and I noticed that my, my temperature gauge was moving past the normal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I noticed it was getting hot. I was in the driveway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shut the car off and I said, well, this has to be checked by a mechanic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I asked my daughter, do you know anybody in town that's a mechanic? She says no. She says I'm gonna go next door and ask my neighbor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next morning at 8 o'clock, my daughter drove me to his garage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I met him, and I talked to him, I said, he wanted to know if I was wrong, I told him my car was overheating, he said we'll leave it, and I'll give you a recall. I'll check it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says, I just changed the thermostat, come pick up your car. It's ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ten minutes away from his garage, the car overheated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I pulled over to the side, I waited, and uh, the police came. I explained to the police, and she says, okay. But I said, I'm gonna turn around and go back to the garage. But a neighbor came out, and he put some water in my radiator so I can turn around and go back to the garage. And that's exactly what I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said to me at that time, I'm gonna take the car out for a road test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we take it out for a road test. Now he sees that the gauge went all the way over to the hop position again. So he brought it back to the garage, lifted the hood up. So he checked the engine out, he checked the hoses out, he checked everything under that hood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told me that everything is normal. How come the needle is registered hot? He goes, that needle is probably wrong. What? The engine was running, idling. I saw no steam coming out of it. He's checking it all up and I said to him, you know, I want to go home. Is it okay for me to drive another two hours to Pennsylvania? He said, it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's okay. So my wife and I get in the car. My daughter goes home. I get on my way. And before I know it, my engine light comes on. I pull over, shut the car off. I wait it to the cool down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe a half hour, 45 minutes. I tried to start it up, it would not start. So I said, oh god, this is going to get dark pretty soon, I better call a tow truck and get out of here. And that's exactly what I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called the tow truck. They came two and a half hours later. He tried to start the car. He said, you better not start this car. I said, okay. So he put it on the truck, drove us back to Pennsylvania to my house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, actually, uh, I had AAA. Oh, that's marvelous. And, uh, it didn't cost me anything. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Your Honor, uh, you know, like I say, I'm not a mechanic. I know you're not a mechanic. But according to- You don't know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So according to my mechanic, he says to me, if you can see the spring after taking off the housing that covers the thermostat,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the reason why the car overheated and blew the head gaskets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure he's a very good mechanic, but we all make mistakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I brought the bike in after the fuel pump died in December. So, I go to pick up the bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was parked across the street, so I kinda slowly went to her. Then I started moving, driving up the block, waiting for her to go out of the parking spot. Once she was out of the parking spot, I went to take off, the bike just went down and slid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I got up, I looked around to see what took me down. There's no debris on the ground, there was nothing there. I looked at the bike, and the tires are greased.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So later the police came. I filed a police report. It hit another van also as a bike spun all the way down the block. Uhm, bike just kept going down the block. I was sliding and then it stopped and we called the police. She went inside to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get the manager and tell him that the bike has grease on it that he just went down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I guess I'll let you tell her story, because I don't know what happened there. There were reluctance to come in, to come outside. Finally, when they did come outside, they claimed it wasn't Greece, that Greece is black. Well, I have pictures to show otherwise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My only, the only thing I can think of is that they wanted the bike to go down so I can bring it back for more money, for more billables. I can't understand, I really don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's not a greece pull. It's very intricate. I mean, you can take a look at the pictures. It's very well placed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody dabbed it on because it's not on the whole tire, on the edges, so somebody didn't roll it through. But you wouldn't roll it through the bike sideways and forward and backwards on the bike either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, right here, you see how it's dabbed on? If you look at the tires, that's it dabbed on. This is the clean tire, this is all grease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, those are specs. If you look at the different pictures, that's specs of grease that somebody dabbed on there. This is the clean tire, this isn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, only when I was touching the tire to smooth out the grease. So I do have a video of it when I'm touching it as I'm smoothing it and it's one slick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's what I see on the tires, they didn't come in like that. They certainly didn't come in like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's evenly coded from space to pace on the tire, so if you were to roll over something, you would have to do it sideways with the bike. So somebody dabbed it on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brought it to my attention that it was 1800. I said no, that's wrong. That's wrong. I do not owe 1800 on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you're gonna have to pull it together because you filed a lawsuit and I have to hear the lawsuit. I'm sorry. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, wait, let's do this chronologically. So what happens is, it takes longer than anticipated for you to take the dog. Right. And during that time, I imagine grandmothers saying things like, you gotta take this dog, or aunties saying things like, you gotta take this dog. What was wrong with their situation and the dog?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but, uh, so you don't feel, uh, your grandmother has a right to give away the dog that's in her house?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, come on up, step up. Alright, so you go to the house, and uh, you're, you're going there to introduce grandma to her, and what happens?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anybody say, hey, we've been telling Sarah it's gonna be her dog? Do you have a picture noodle? Anybody got a picture noodle? Oh, I got dozens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I know, but just as a human being, did it occur to you to say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, you've told Sarah she can have him, but Sarah hasn't taken him? Hey Sarah, listen, are you going to take the dog or aren't you? Because we have an opportunity to get the dog a good home with my new girlfriend, and if you can't take the dog, then why don't you just, like, that didn't happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well this is from before when I asked her for a picture. Yeah. Is the dog smiling?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want everybody to be patient. I'm gonna be patient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who've I got here? Cause I don't want to call you Nan. What's your name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the plaintiff that she, Sarah, that she could have the dog. Probably about a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The day that he comes in with his girlfriend, are you there? Yes. Okay and what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to speak to him, come on up. Can you switch with the amp? You can come back up. Uhm, I see a text that she sends to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to fight with you, but noodle is my- Do you have the text in the phone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to actually see it because people sometimes photocopy it in the wrong order and I just want to see it correctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have- why did we- I want to talk to Ant a second, come back up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what happens that a few days later, uh, you end up giving her a document that says, I give permanent ownership of Noodle, the Italian Greyhound, to my niece Sarah Mako.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ant's gonna have to sit down, drop your documents, you're out of this. I need girlfriend back up, and then I wanna talk to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You make maybe what? 30,000 combined with your boyfriend? I make 120,000 a year. Try fighting me in court, see how fast your bill runs up. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I'm a US Marine in great standing with my community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is going to be a police officer soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Noodle is in a great house with a huge yard, getting lots of love and attention. So again, good luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read that out loud because I wasn't about to let him skate on what he's put you through because I think that's horrible. I think if he had taken the high road and just said, look,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got them saying you can take the dog, I've got you not taking the dog. I agree it would have been more humane to you and a better treatment of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they had said, well hold on, let me see if she's going to take, but they didn't. And part of why they didn't,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not just because they thought you didn't want the dog anymore, that's not it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's because in the end, they kind of didn't really want you to end up having the dog anyway. And so the question beca- because they think it's too much for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I've gotta figure out is can you really call yourself the owner because for a year they've been telling you, you can be the owner. And I can't. And I agree and understand why you say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean everything that there is is in the ants name and the ant has a right to give the dog away even if she feels bad afterwards. All that stuff is after the giveaway and the only question is was the giveaway a proper giveaway or was that dog your dog at the time? Let's see. Every document is in the ants name that has to do with vets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, you know, so how is it I can say that wasn't a good giveaway?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plus we're now in a new situation too, you know? That dog has been there and happy for all of this time. So at least you know, and you know, she's fighting you on time because this is her family's dog now, at least you know that the dog is being well taken care of. And I know that you're suffering and I'm sorry about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they had a legal right at that time to give that dog away to her. And therefore, in this case, I'm finding in favor of that defendant. Verdict for the defendant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Douglas, Denise Washington. Yes. You are suing your client Mia Goldsboro. Yes. Yes. For $1,010, the balance of, uh, the bridal dresses. Yes. Um, plus gas and tolls. Okay. Uh, did you have some kind of contract that entitled you to gas and tolls?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in any event, you have an agreement, and I don't think that there's dispute about what the total amount was or anything else. You agree that there's $895 balance. You don't want to pay it because you feel she breached the contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The junior bridesmaids dresses, which were your daughter and your mom's dress that you were going to pay for. Correct everybody? Yes. So even though we don't have a contract, do we all agree that that's 950 plus 200 plus 200, so that's 1350 that you were responsible. That's right. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as for what you had already paid by the time the wedding came, okay, you had already paid for, how much do you say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that sound right? Yes. Okay. If the total is $1350 and you've paid $600, that would leave a balance of $750. Exactly. Okay. Here we are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, what went wrong? Because you feel you should not have to pay the $750. In fact, you have now filed a counterclaim against her for $3,500 because according to you, the wedding dresses were a disaster. They came late to the wedding day on the wedding day and you shouldn't have to pay for that. Talk to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so you were late. You shouldn't be pressing while the wedding was supposed to be happening. Now, you say you got there at what time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you wear your reception dress, you go to the church, and you stand in front- I gotta hear this. You stand in front of- God bless you. So you stand in front of the church and you explain what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has explained numerous problems. Can you please respond to all of the issues that she just said?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, that wasn't her complaint that it was ripped and you put it on. What her complaint was is that it ripped that night. So why would a dress that you charge this kind of money for rip?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't need you to cry, I don't need you to say anything else, I'm ready to rule. I just want to say one thing. I hope you have fun at the reception.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that, uh, when you guys meet each other and you hire her, everyone including Ms. Washington has nothing but the best intentions to create a beautiful, wonderful, happy day. It is not how it worked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main culprit for why it is not how it worked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the fact that you could not provide all these products in a timely manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In all of the wedding cases I've ever presided over, and trust me, you are not my first rodeo, I have never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seen it be this last minute is not even the right term. I have never seen it be an admitted 45 minutes and you say an hour and something after

[Assistant] I've never heard of such a thing, that it seems just would show up an hour and something later, after a wedding's supposed to begin. I'm just, I'm appalled by it. So no, I'm not gonna order her to pay back the 700, to pay the remaining $750 balance. I'm not. And frankly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda think she's entitled to something else on top of it on her counterclaim, but not $3,500. I'm allowing you to keep the $750 and I'm ordering her. You don't have to pay him to her and I find


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you don't because of all the damages that you suffer. Plus I'm gonna order her to pay you another 250 dollars so that what you get is a thousand dollars for all of the heartache that you had to endure during the wedding. Understand that the heartache your husband caused or the judge or his ex-wife caused has nothing to do with this case. That's all your heartache, okay? But the dressed heartache does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So on the plaintiff's claim against you, I am ruling in your favor. And on your claim against the plaintiff, I'm going to order her to pay you an additional $250. Alright, good luck folks. Thank you, Your Honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And have their cases settled here before Judge Marilyn Milian in our forum, the People's Court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely not. I was a dental technician in the United States Navy, and I think the best thing is to go with a dentist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Douglas. Princess, you've asked to be referred to only as Princess. You are suing, how do I pronounce your name? Chukai.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it is what you did. You kept the dog. Now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You owe her money for a dog for two years? Fifty dollars. Prove it. You have receipts for the rest of the money?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so she comes to your house, you haven't seen her in a year and a half, you know you owe her money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what it was. Okay, let me see the police report and let me see the text where she refers to it as 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will do that. Uh, I, I, I, I'm very concerned though. We have a dog who's been with her for two years. Two year and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you up and take the dog? How is that not ridiculous? If she owes you money, go sue for it. Why would you take the dog out of its home? Because she was still my dog. So great. So let's say that it's $150 that she owes you and she pays you the $150. You give him back the dog?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Petty is misspelled, but also just the language on it, the whole, I was so sure that my, my apologies. I am stunned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, apparently this is something, I think it's kind of ill-advised, I don't know, but you know, this is what they're trying to do when I guess they're at their wits end and you don't call them back. Maybe that's when they do it, because if you had called them back, they wouldn't do this. So they're trying to figure out how to not have to chase you down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm telling you that there is an open warrant for your arrest for the theft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I suggest with every fiber of my being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if all that she admits to you paying her is $150, and she says that you still owe another $150, and everybody knows that the purchase price of the dog was $300, you clearly still owe $150. No, I'm telling you, you do. If your defense is all I owe is $50, that's when you pull out the receipts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is what I'm going to do. I'm, I really am floored because you thought like I did that she was just defaming you all over and putting your business out there and everything else, which uhm, if she had made this up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would most certainly be defamation. Not because she's saying, hey, she stole my dog, but because she's saying that, you know, because she would be lying about whether there was a warrant out in the police or after you and everything else. That would be the defamation. It's legit. So you better find Kayla.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, so you best find Kayla because I am going to enter an order as follows on your lawsuit against her. I am ordering her to pay you $150 on her lawsuit against you. I am giving her an order, finding her to be the rightful owner of that dog and ordering you to return the dog. That is my judgment. Take it to the police. Okay. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, represented by, none other than the Frosted Baker, represented by Daniel Walsh, you're the owner, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, for $2,000 your salary in July and salary in August that you believe you're entitled to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he does not believe you're entitled to. Tell me what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you would get a percentage if you got a deal, but also you would get a base salary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what is it you, uhm, what do you do? What do you bake?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something like a bread. Alright, so uhm, he's not going to send me cookies, don't worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now this says the agreement shall be for a term of six months when the date hereof will be renewed automatically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but either party can terminate this agreement during the year with 30 days written notice. So what happens?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, working for you before you gave the 30 day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, so on March you say we're exercising the 30 day. March what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So did, did the two of you discuss continuing business or did he just continue to pay you? He continued to pay me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you or did you not continue to pay him after that? And pretend business was as usual?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is how, I understand what you're saying and I see how you look at it that way. Let me tell you the way he looks at it. He looks at it as, I got fired but I got rehired so I'm still under the same contract. What ended up happening with that 36,000, did they end up paying it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you want to get paid now for July and August.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, can I see any emails from June 30th to July 15th?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so on July 10th, you're answering questions that he's asking about the, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's asking for individual photos with the item numbers of the cookies. This is on July 10th, and you answer him, John, bulk palettes are 60, like you're conducting business with him July 10th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then on July 12th, you give him an extensive list of the item numbers for the orange turkey, the brown leaf, the red leaf. There's nothing in there about you missed your deadline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently, who better than Shane to figure out how much time Shane needs to produce? This is on August 2nd. Is an email from Shane. August 2nd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you Douglas. Laquesha again? Yes. Okay, you're suing Anthony Scott, your former boyfriend, for $4,452.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he paid, the month of September he paid it in October, and then according to you he owes October, November, December, January, and February. Yes. What happened in February?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I've read the text. He didn't say, okay, no problem. What he said was, where are we gonna go, Kwe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, did he pay you that thousand? No. Did he pay you that other thousand? No. Right. So, he lived there rent free, then how long? Five months. Alright. Now, according to you, he also stole money from a safe? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but no, how could it be? Because you didn't know you were moving in September.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And who put money into the, that safe had that, like who was putting the money into the safe? Both of you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, now what is this $827 in bank overdraft fees? How could bank overdraft fees reach almost $1,000?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, because you gave it to him. He didn't steal it. No. Oh, okay. So then you give him your ATM card, and he overdrafts how? By taking too much money out of the ATM?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't ask how much cash you roll with. That's the answer to how much cash you roll with. My question to you was, before you took her cash,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright? That was in that, because she says that was her cash. Is that true? Yeah. Okay. Before you took it to use it for yourself, did you ask her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's judge, not miss. But let me ask you a question. I always pay my bills. You want a cookie? Cause that's what you're supposed to do. My question is did you pay that bill? Were you supposed to be paying rent? And did you pay it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but, so why didn't you pay back what you overdrafted? And why didn't you-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the reason, right, she cut you off because she thinks you're a loser who doesn't pay his bills. And so you were holding her hostage, because I read the text, you wanted her to meet you and you would only give her the money if she met you. And if she didn't meet you, you weren't going to hand her the money. How much money was it that you were going to hand her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so you do acknowledge a thousand dollars, alright. And then, so, what is your defense on the rent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he came to my house, put the keys down the kitchen table and said, the car is yours. I can't afford it anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] June of 2016, my son said he would like to get a new car. And at the time I told him that he would have to pay for the car himself and continue to pay his insurance. And how old are you? 21.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he went researching and found a 2016 Nissan Sentra at a local dealership that he wanted to lease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when he went down to lease the car, I told him he had to get his own insurance because he can't have, uh, beyond my policy, which was my wife and my policy at the time, uh, because the car wouldn't be registered to us, it'd be registered to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we are trying to, let's see, at that point in June,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler had called the dealership and asked them how can he get, you know, my name off the registration and his, and they said all you have to do is go to the DMV and change it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, as soon as we got the paperwork in from the dealership and then we saw the registration was in my name, uh, my son called them and said, look, this isn't supposed to be my father's name at all. It's supposed to all be in my name. And they said, oh, it doesn't make a difference. It's because your father had a better insurance score than you. So therefore we registered it in his name, but it doesn't make a difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stopped paying, the insurance was paid up until March 1st of 2017. So he stopped paying for the car in February of 2017.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told him that he either needed to re-register the car in his name, in which case then he could get his own insurance policy, which he had told me he already had in place effective December 25th of 2016.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the third choice was if he didn't want to do either of those, I wasn't working at the time so I couldn't afford to pay his insurance as well, that I was going to have to suspend the coverage on the vehicle except for comprehensive. And because I didn't trust that he wouldn't drive the car, I would come and get it and store it in my garage until the time that he could pay for the insurance and then we'd reinstate the policy for his car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he came to my house, put the keys down the kitchen table and said, the car is yours. I can't afford it anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I held onto it for a few weeks trying to figure out what I could do and how, you know, what my legal recourses were. And then eventually in the beginning of March, I went to a GMC dealer and worked out a deal for the vehicle I owned to be traded in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, you also, I need to get rid of his car, the 2016 Nissan Sentra. And they agreed to finally take it, but in order for me to get the lease taken care of, I had to pay that car outright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which was over $15,000. And then the money that, so they offered me $13,000 for it. So the difference is what part of the lawsuit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? Well, he has always been more favored by his mother, and so he takes his mother's side a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I sold you a piano and you put it in your living room and you didn't pay, could I go into your living room and take the piano back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this, everybody. Isn't that sweet? Look at that, everybody. Isn't awwwwww. Okay, happy ending. That will do it for this case. Littigants for the next case on the way into the courtroom right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All parties. Pleasure to be here. Welcome back to the People's Court. Next case in the dock. The plaintiff was hired to do marketing for the defendant's cookie company and got stiffed. But the defendant says he fired the plaintiff. It's the case of the cookie monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, favorite type of cookie? Chocolate chip. Favorite type of cookie? Snickerdoodle. Snickerdoodle. Really, snickerdoodle? Chocolate chip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Doug, little tip here. Uhm, most states have labor commissions. It's a state agency. And if you don't get paid for work you do, you could file a complaint with the labor commission. They can actually mediate this stuff, and if the employer doesn't pay within a certain period of time, they can actually attach penalties to that. So it's another way of doing it without going to court, and it could actually be more effective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That will do it for this case, litigants, for the next case on the way to the courtroom, right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court. Next case in the document, the plaintiff says her boyfriend knows her money and stole it from her bank account to boot. But the defendant says she's just a jilted lover. It's the case of cash me outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how long do you date somebody before you start co-mingling fun? I think it's all about trust. Well no, I wanna know, I wanna know how much time do you have to wait?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we have talked about this Doug before, but I want to try it a slightly different way. Do not confuse giving money to somebody for love. Because the two do not even intersect. They don't even intersect a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since childhood, we started uhm, you know, uh, rekindling and actually getting to know each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the time that we've known each other, he was explaining to me that he lived with his, uh, child's mother at the time, and that they were pretty much just both co-parenting at the time, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, being that me and him was talking more and being more like getting closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he ended up kind of like, not living, but just staying momentarily, uhm, until I guess he got back on his feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, so he doesn't really have like, you know, family support or moral support. So I felt like I would be best to help him. So pretty much- Meaning what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure. Well, you were there. Well, I was there, but uhm, like, I never really, like... Cause he's not paying rent!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He initially told me that it was under her name and his name. Right, and then what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he ended up telling me maybe a day or a few days after that she took his name off the account and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How old are you? I'm 23. Okay. So as he explained to me, he said that she is the primary holder of the account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened? Uh, initially, so he pretty much had, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sent money through Facebook, pretty much, uh, like trying to take back the money that she had in the account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's actually not here on the statement of the money even being deposited or taken out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The April, uhm, statement, because he said that he sent the April 29th. There's nothing there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this May statement, I don't know nothing about the May statement. Is there anything there? It says something there. It does say something there? It does. No, it does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gonna see it in my account, but it doesn't, I didn't receive it. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't take it out. So it's not, it didn't go through me. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't go through me. I did not, cause we both had each other's information. So I did not take out anything. Is it in your bank? It was, that's where it says it was, it was directed into my bank account that I don't know nothing about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm fine, uhm, I just know that overall, like, me and him both know what happened, so, you know, uhm. You've, you've sued him in court for money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, we have a two-year-old son or whatever. I came from a family together. I was raised like that, so I don't believe in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different from someone cheating on me. I deserve better than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I put him out, or whatever, Annette. I put him out to let him know, listen, you can't cheat on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I just wanted truth. I wanted truth from her. And, you know, I just wanted to know because he's gonna lie. He's not gonna tell the truth. So you wanted information. What'd you ask her? I wanted to know what's the, uhm, I wanted to know what's their relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I told them, I told them both, I said I'm gonna go to the store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be right back. I left my phone on the charger because my phone sucks. It's always dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I left, I came back, I went to check my phone because I was waiting for a phone call for a job. Where it was plugged into the charger and where physically was your phone? Exactly next to my bed. Meaning on the floor or on a- On the floor. On the floor? Because the outlet is right there, whatever. And uhm, I didn't think it would get touched. But what happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't know what they were doing when I left. I have no idea. I came back home. I went to look at my phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm in your home. I'm with your friend. You let me hang out here. I feel bad. Let's go get you a new phone. We brought my phone to a kiosk to see if maybe they can do some repairs to it. The guy said there's nothing we can do. So we went to the phone store itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they said, look, you know, we can get you a new phone. You just have to pay this amount. I didn't have any money at the time. Like I said, I'm out of work. I'm trying to figure things out. He said, look, I'll help you out. We'll get you a new phone. I said that's, I said thank you. I was really appreciative of it. Got the new phone. And then he said, look, you know, can you pay me back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we had verbally spoken about it. About paying him back. About paying him back. That it was a loan. Right, we had talked about it. Right, right. And then, at the end of the day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean a year has gone by and I haven't really heard from him much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bill was safe, the bill was 400. It was broken evenly. So all of us in turn was in the household, spent it evenly. His portion was the same as all of us we paid. It was split in four. And it wasn't 160, it was 60.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, basically what it was when he moved in, I stipulated and explained to him the rules of the house. Basically it was each one of us, each weekend cleans up the household. He had a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, basically the situation was this. When he signed the lease, he came to me and said he wanted to reconcile with his wife, which I said to him, why would you lock yourself inside of a lease if you knew you were trying to reconcile with your wife? You shouldn't in turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sign the lease. You signed the lease for a year, so you're held accountable for the year. If you're here for the year after the year, I have no issue. You can leave. I'll give you back your security deposit. It's not an issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a weird feeling as I looked up, his father was in the house. I asked him, where was Alex at? He said he wasn't here. I was like, okay, well why are you here? Because by at least saying you're not supposed to be here. And that was the first instance. Then there was another instance. When that second instance happened, I said I think it'd be best if we both went our separate ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The day after we had, and I have the text to show proof, the day after we had the conversation and he said he was going to move out, all apparently


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had designed it in my head and then I met with him and he drew it out for me. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it's uhm, it's one dress and then it's uhm, kinda like a cape that comes around to the front that buttons up so it drags on the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, when I was about to leave, I was going to put my cape on and my mom said turn around. And when I turned around she said that you have a big hole in your dress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I got there, I called, uhm, we were eating and that's when I looked down, so it was around like eight, I wanna say, that's when it started ripping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was good, I just had to leave early because I was getting like really upset about my dress being ripped. Why would you leave early over that? Because I couldn't enjoy it, I couldn't take the pictures that I wanted. Oh stop it, you took a bunch of pictures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff gets a judgment for $1,100. You probably could have gotten off-taper if you'd have paid the $700 that you were talking about, you know, came up earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're glad? So stoked. Okay, cool. Your cat okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta ask you a quick question. I'm sure everybody watching this is wondering, what is that going up around your neck? It's a snake. It is a snake? Yea. How far does it come up? Right to your chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the plaintiff is going to get $1,500, not $5,000. Mr. Moore, the defendant. Listen, I really would... Did you forge that signature? No, I did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Motor vehicles. You flat out deny that. You know Judge Melian was a judge in the state of Florida for many years before coming to the People's Court. She knows the law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ma'am, I'm sorry. Case is over. You lost. Okay? Very good. Now here comes the plaintiff. That's a wild case. Wild case. Interesting. Okay. You alright now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm okay. You know, you lost the stuff, you claimed the computer and everything. The judge doesn't believe that was in the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting. Alright, you get $1,500. Yes. Good enough?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good enough. You're gonna have to be. Absolutely. That's the judge's decision. Thank you so much. Thank you, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the judge rules the tree's damage or rather the tree's falling was an act of God. So you're out of luck on this case. You should have had some evidence to bring with you as like testimony from somebody or some written statement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you've learned a lesson. Yes. Sorry about that. Alright. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here comes the defendant, Mr. Rannell. Did you realize how this was going to end up before you came in? I mean, did you know that you weren't going to be responsible? I pretty much knew. Pretty much so? Yes, yes sir. Were you surprised to get sued? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mean you thought you were gonna get sick? It happens. It happens all the time. You're not surprised at all? Okay. Well, congratulations. Okay. Thank you very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's because the builder breached my contract and didn't install my driveway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it was two separate sales recorded by the town. And then, uh, I know myself, I don't play well but others. And when I first met with the builder, I said to him, where will my driveway be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he showed me the survey that he had. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When did you file a case? I filed a case in 2006.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sixth, sixth judge was assigned to the case. And he came in, first day, he was there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How does she block him? She parked her van across the middle person's property to block me access.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasn't even within 250 feet of my house. It stopped by the middle house. But you use it, don't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You drive over what was done. Probably yeaah, three or four times a month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's another problem with, that the builder created. He put a utility pole right in the middle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's why I'm waiting for the builder to do it because he's paying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court. Harvey Levin here. Why do neighbors feud and fight so much?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, okay, it's convenient, I get that. But why, why are they, they fight over fences, they fight over noise, they fight over all sorts of stuff. Why?

[Assistant] If one side says, I'm just not going to do it, and it's a reasonable repair that has to be made, the other person or one of them can say, look, I'm going to pay for the whole thing, then you sue them for half. And if you're reasonable, you'll get the money. That will do it for this case, litigants for the next case on the way into the courtroom right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Doug, there are laws that protect consumers who buy from breeders. The laws, however, vary from state to state. You can go online, check your state, see what the law is, easy to do. That will do it for this case. Litigants for the next case on the way into the courtroom, right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defendant says it had 185,000 miles. The guy paid 1600 bucks. So what does he expect? It's the case of Hoopie Doo. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, 195,000 miles, 1,600 bucks. Does the guy have a right to expect a car in proper working condition?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, fair point, but do you have a right to expect that it's gonna work okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harvey? You know, everybody thinks that when somebody offers a warranty, it's take it or leave it. You can still negotiate a warranty. If somebody you're buying a car from says, I'm not gonna give you a warranty, you say, I'm not gonna buy the car unless you give me 30 days, and you figure it out and you negotiate, but you can negotiate warranties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Michael, the defendants just come out of the, you're smiling, but are you really smiling on the inside? She gave the plaintiff clear instructions on what to do to force you to build your own driveway and spend $75,000, maybe more, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think so? You think she'll lose the model? She won here. What makes you think she'll lose elsewhere?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, good luck. Okay. Thanks. Thank you very much. Here comes the plaintiff. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you listening to her advice? You're gonna do what she suggests?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're very, very well. Harvey, she got some great advice. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry about that, okay? $1,200. That's what the judge has decided. Mr. and Ms. Granite are on their way out of the courtroom. You know, I'll compliment you one thing. Juno has been an excellent witness in this courtroom. What a well behaved dog. How do you feel about the outcome of the case now at this point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I hope everything works out fine with her teeth and, uh, take care of her. Thank you. You're very, very welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harvey, every dog lover can appreciate a case like this. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a tough lesson for the plaintiff as she comes out of the courtroom. The defendants prevail. Obviously, you didn't have a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, I feel sorry for you. Yeaah. You know, I think everybody does. Mhm. Cause nobody wants to see- Weren't you uneasy about buying a car with a hundred and sixty-some thousand miles on it? I was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you very much. Officer McIntosh has a few documents for you. Here come the defendants out of the courtroom. She really thinks you hoodwinked her. Uh, how do you respond to that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was your bond set at? 30,000 and this was the 10% cost that you never get back? I honestly don't remember what the bond was set at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they can diss anyone in any song and it will be produced on the radio and anybody can listen to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so new, is that accurate? New power line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to you, your damages are even more than that, uhm, that you had to shell out because according to you, they did subpar work. Tell me what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me see that. And also, explain what you mean when you say we decided to elevate the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, now, what did he do wrong? Why are you suing him? What went wrong?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, okay, so he was going to do all what work? The deal was disconnection and reconnection of all electrical circuitry. Service panel meter with disconnect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All work to be filed. Service inspection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, what specifically? You don't remember?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he said there's been some damage in the process and I need to get paid more money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so new, is that accurate? New power lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you have power lines previously going out into the dock? Yes ma'am. So were you trying to upgrade the power lines? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like why would it be 1200 more dollars? If I'm a homeowner and I'm planning my project out, you know the house is going to get lifted five feet. So don't you include that in your quote?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, slow down, slow down. The shed in the backyard, did that not have power to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, did the air handlers in the basement have power to them beforehand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, that's the thing. See, I'm not understanding because that is precisely what you're hired for, to disconnect and then reconnect. If reconnecting means you have to lay cable, then you lay cable. What on earth would it otherwise mean? So what on earth, I'm gonna ask you, cause you're the litigant Mr. Strieano, what does reconnect mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's on you. Or you can sue the general contractor for misinforming. You can do your own thing. But the homeowner who pays you to do it expects that the electricians will know where to put it. Alright, so according to you, they ask you for $1,200 more. You think it's unfair and wrong, and so what do you do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so where's the other $1,200 that he got from the homeowner? Have you ever seen that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you hear my question? I have a very specific question. Do you have proof you paid an additional $1,200 above and beyond the $4,300? Is that what you are saying, sir? Is that what you are saying, that you paid $4,300 and then you paid an additional $1,200?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two thousand, three thousand, five thousand, five hundred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the original contract on February 1st is for $4,300. But what he ends up paying is $5,500. So he paid you the other $1,200. So where's the rest of the money? Did you not give it to him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So is he your employer, isn't he your employee? So I want you to know, you, I want you to know that he got, North Electric got a thousand,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In June is when you hire Shore Power and you pay them a total of what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When do you find out that where they've put the panel is the wrong place?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, did you have to pay somebody else to move the panel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You paid that to do it. Fix outdoor outlet at rear deck. Install weatherproof


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] GFCI with a use cover, with in use cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Install six outdoor wall lights supplied by customer. How is that included in the original contract?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, and that is your misfortune, and your misfortune, because now I'm gonna guess. Because if you don't have a written contract for everything else that had to be done, and he doesn't have a written contract for everything else that had to be done, I'm gonna have the two of you in a war about what it is that has to be done, and I've gotta use my best common sense, which I have in spades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it wasn't in that contract. Install six outdoor wall lights. And I know that because you wouldn't have been complaining about that because you were complaining that the $1,200 was an extortion and it wouldn't have been if it was news that included new stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So frankly, I wouldn't believe either one of you if her tongues came notarized. So now I would like everybody to just stop talking. Based on what I have looked at...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What appears to me to be new stuff, what appears to me to not be new stuff, what appears to me to possibly have been included in the contract, part of which is in writing, part of which isn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am ruling in favor of the plaintiff but not in the amount that your suing for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am ruling in your favor in the amount of $2,000, verdict for the plaintiff. Good luck, folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're, uhm, suing your former boyfriend and father of your child, uh, Kyle Malin? Malin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Malin, for $250, a cost of an HP laptop? That alone surprises me. You were able to find a laptop for $250?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Is he paying child support? Yes he is. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a year ago you loaned him the computer and what happens?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was on the floor. And so you kicked it by accident? So why didn't you compensate her for it when you broke it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I presume you're gonna tell me that's not true, that you never told him you didn't care. But either way, it doesn't matter. She cares now, and she wants you to pay for it, and you broke it. So what's your diff- Who's the gentleman with you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and now uhm, can I see the computer? Sure. W-were you two dating? Yes. Or you just had a kid together?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so uhm, did you, had she told you then the computer doesn't work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you'd remember that. Did you ever see her using the computer after you broke it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I have she and him here, I'm sorry. Like what's going on here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And where's the crack? I see a bunch of scratches everywhere. Oh, I see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's like an, oh yeaah, it's like shattered throughout. Right. Oh yeaah, I just had to get the right angle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Okay. So according to you, you thought the computer worked. Yes. Right. And I have no idea if all you need is a screen changer or a new computer because you lost your charger and didn't buy a new charger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so why wouldn't you try to see if you could still salvage the computer before you come to court and sue for it? The issue I have is I just don't know whether it just needs a screen changer, needs uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you tell me, uhm, how much did you pay? $250. And you don't have the receipt for it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know, uhm, how old the computer, was it a new computer? Yes, brand new. It was brand new. And do you know what year did you buy it for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So who should I count it against that I can't figure out whether the whole computer is shot or just the screen? Do you have any evidence of what a screen would be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But maybe the best mothering decision, or parenting decision I should say, that the two of you make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good luck to you. I'm ruling in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of the $250.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you Douglas. Mr. Saporito, you are suing Power Motor Group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For $3,900, the cost to fix, the cost to install a new engine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Into your car that you bought from them because you feel it's their fault. Tell me what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, did you tell them to tow it to someplace different than power motors?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let me see it. And what, and we know your address, so I'll figure out just how close it is. You wanna revise the estimate of one mile?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, if you don't do the servicing for the warranty, then why didn't he make a claim on his warranty for the service and not covered?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, really. What you have is the exact warranty you bought. That's what you have. Okay. And the warranty you bought says what? We don't cover overheating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you take your car, uhm, to your guy, and your guy says, replace customer supplied engine. Where's the actual, do you have, oh here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's the same thing. Replace customer supplied engine. Did they ever write something up saying what was wrong?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoever has it. Let's make sure it's the same thing. I actually want it for both of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, too bad, so sad. We don't- Actually, what they say is we don't cover overheating issues. So you brought this lawsuit against the people who sold you the car because your feeling is they sold you a lemon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have the paperwork from the transaction so I can see what if any warranty you specifically gave him? Do you have the paperwork of the actual sale of the car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This vehicle comes with a dealer warranty, the details of which are specified in a separate warranty form. You're the dealer, so you do warrant it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is relevant in your state because under 100,000 you have to give what kind of warranty?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within the 30 days of the 30 day warranty that you must by law give him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get your mechanic on the phone from, uh, the second place. MZM? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you to argue this point. If he has a 30 day warranty with you and the 30 day warranty includes the engine being defective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and he alerts you within the 30 days that there's something wrong with the engine. But the guy you have it towed to does not spot it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the exact same problem happens within days and he takes, when he picks it up from your guy and he takes it to his own guy and his own guy says, look, this is why you're, this is happening because there's a crack in here. Why isn't it your issue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm done. I'm ruling in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of the $3,900. That's my verdict. Thank you, Your Honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it took you how long to finish paying that? Through November of 2014.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, my boyfriend was part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I stopped paying him because he sent me a bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, from his business showing that I owed late fees for the 25 months that I had the loan out and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanted to pay back what I owed and that's it. What is it you think you owe? Uhm, after the checks then it should be 1175.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he specifically said he came to the house and, you know, spoke with me and, and said, you know, I really don't care about the money. You know, it's more of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't get to see you, you don't call anymore, you don't, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say happy birthday, you don't call me on Father's Day and I was in the hospital, you didn't come see me. And why did all that happen? You know, I just started hearing a lot of stuff that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I had, you know, had a drinking problem and just, uh, you know, I don't know, just a whole bunch of things that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I guess just from the past I, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, you know, he would hit us, uh, me and my sister and, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, you know, he had a lot of his own problems going on and took it out on me and my sister a lot. And I just felt like I had tried to move past it and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I thought things were getting better and then all this came about and I was just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Felt like I had had enough and I didn't want to deal with him anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't feel that this was necessary and I had every intention of paying him back


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it looked like a soccer play to me. He touched the ball out in front of him, was running full speed to get it. He was coming in to make a play on the ball. And I think in my mind why he got hurt was he didn't see him. He came in and protected himself when he saw that they were going to hit and he never even saw him. So if you're running into something full speed without seeing it, you're in a vulnerable position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The defendants are about to counter suit for $3,640.11 for all their owed. All parties, please raise your right hands. What you are about to witness is real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The participants are not actors. They are actual litigants with a case pending in civil court. Both parties have agreed to drop their claims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And have their cases settled here before Judge Marilyn Milian in our forum, the People's Court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to The People's Court, Harvey Levin here. So what does the judge do? Throw him out of court or give a fair price to the guy who did the work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But is the judge supposed to be making contracts for people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, contracts are super important, but sometimes when they're not done properly, the judge can do exactly what these guys said, which is to award the reasonable value.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of the services that are actually rendered when they tried to make a contract. In the law, it's called quantum marijuana. Fancy legal term so I can justify the tuition that I paid in law school. That will do it for this case litigants for the next case on the way into the courtroom right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court next case. In the docket, these litigants used to be together, but it didn't work out so well. She says he smashed the screen of her new laptop and won't pay. He says she gave him a pass. It's the case of lap dance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if she says don't worry about it, can she turn around, change her mind, and sue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Harvey, what do you think about that? Here's the thing, if she said don't worry about it, that's not a settlement of anything because she has to get something in return for that to be a binding settlement, so she has an absolute right to sue. That will do it for this case, litigants for the next case on the way into the courtroom right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back to the People's Court. Next case on the dock of the plaintiff plot. A 2006 Dodge Charger from the defendant and it had a cracked engine. The defendant says the car was overheating. That caused the crack and it was the plaintiff's fault. It's the case of you cracked me and my car up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's overworking the engine so it could cause damage and cause a crack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Doug, this is a really good example of a case where you should insist on a warranty when you buy a car. Even if they say there's no warranty, you can always negotiate one. And if they say no, and you really want one, just buy another car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And have their cases settled here before Judge Marilyn Milian in our forum, the People's Court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the plaintiff is awarded a $2,000 judgment. Mr. Striano is, if you'll step right over there, sir. Uh, as the judge said, the two of you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have to get reconnected again. Yes, exactly. You okay? Fine. Okay. Fine, thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, but you lost the case, okay? Lost to 2000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was fair? I'm glad you feel that way. Good enough. You lost, but you're leaving happy. That's good. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, the plaintiff, Mr. Ludwig, is on his way out of the courtroom. You know, the judge was having problems with you too. But anyway, how do you feel about the fact that you were suing for 5,000 and you got two? Step this way, okay? How do I feel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You didn't have enough proof though to convince the judge of what you were trying to get. That was your problem. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'm sorry about it. At least you got something. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff will get the two hundred and fifty bucks back to fix this. You know, one gets the impression you really weren't very sorry that you hurt, hurt the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should be sorry, you know, that you broke it. I was at the time. Okay. Sorry about that. You're gonna have to pay. Okay. Sorry about that. Now here comes Ms. Veruette.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, alright. Very sad family situation here. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well thank you very much. Okay, congratulations to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, after a lot of talk about warranties and dates and coverages, the judge decides for the plaintiff and gives him the $3,900. Why do I think you disagree with the judge?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, you put up a valiant fight. Good for you. Thank you very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here comes a plate of Mr. Sparito. Alright? Sapparito. Sapparito. Sorry. Well, congratulations. Thank you very much. You must feel really good right now. Thank you. I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, congratulations. And you're a winner on the People's Court. Okay. Harvey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the bin in the store, clothing store, the clothing bins. He took all my stuff that he said I could keep by his house and threw a lot of my stuff away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure how to feel right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of paying rent, I was rebuilding their house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now, whereas Monday's tight, uh, once every other week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, I tried to stand up wherever I can. Uhm, there was a lot of stipulations in my divorce decree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them was I couldn't move out for the longest time. I had to get everything straight just for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff gets his $650 back, Ms. Spada. Let me just ask you, you okay with that, with him? I mean, you still friends with him? Yeah. Okay. You didn't live up to your end of the bargain according to him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the judge doesn't agree. Sorry about that. You must sign a few documents on your way outside that way. Alright, Mr. Cardamone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a dating club. Okay, is that alright with you? Hey, congratulations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the judge is going to help you out. Our time. That's what you're going to be joining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff fails to prevail here in the People's Court. Ms. Rogers, let me ask you something. You never did explain, as far as I'm concerned, clearly, what you didn't like about the film itself. Did you watch it, and did it do what you wanted it to? Not really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the plaintiff gets two months rent, $1300, not the $1950 she was seeking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lynn, let me just ask you, what's your reaction to what the judge decided and how she made that decision?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I hope things work out for you. Thank you. Alright, I'm sorry. Thank you very much. Now here comes the plaintiff, Mr. Zakowski.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you were seeking almost $2,000, you get $1,300. You okay with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, thank you very much. You two must sign the documents in that way. Harvey, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In November, around November 10th, 11th, uhm, I found, I reached out to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She, you know, she was kind of slow. Of course there was some training process going on. After a month, uhm, you know, I would...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go out and instruct her to prepare, you know, some garlic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, uh, get pasta ready so I would cook. So I go outside about an hour later, come back, she'll still be cutting her, uh, garlic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's, you know, not very efficient, but that wasn't the only issue. So, you know, the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the plates that, you know, we use at night, it'll be greased, you know, to bring on the table. And the knife. She would use dirty plates, are you saying? The plates, you know, for the dinner, it's tainted, it's not washed clean. Okay. Okay. And then the knife is greasy. Okay. Alright, I've heard enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well she told me that, uh, she will try to find a replacement. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I called and to ask Leslie to look for a different housekeeper. Right. Uhm, and then so she said, okay, she'll get on it. And after a couple of days, I didn't hear her. I text her, you know, is there any updates? She said she's still looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, right around like the 18th of January.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She found a replacement for me to try, so I went.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I gave her a try on that day, but that didn't work out at all. Why? It wasn't. She was just there not doing what, you know, a housekeeper's supposed to do. She was standing there not doing things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, another, you know, couple of days went by, uhm, she said she had somebody, I was going to interview her, and, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I agreed to give her a trial. Then I went home unsettled because she didn't seem to be suitable. You know, she didn't have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, proved that she was, uh, has a live-in experience, so I asked her for reference.

[Assistant] Okay. And she refused. Who refused? Leslie refused. Leslie said you can't have her references? She, she can't give me her references. Uh, they do their own references. Uh, they don't give out, uh, you know, any references, uh, contact information, nothing. So did you try that person out? I gave her a trial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has more than one person, but they all have, they were there for babysitting jobs. They weren't for housekeepers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't say, I think there's more than one person. I'm not sure if it's two or three. Maybe it's two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I found a, a better form to work with and she, they were able to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Your Honor, Your Honor, in her case,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was over 542 JPEG pictures that I had taken of the wedding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't want to overwhelm her and I try- wait a minute, Your Honor. I tried to get her to view the wedding and select the picture she wanted. The problem was, is that she wasn't computer savvy and didn't know how to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, she was in South Carolina, Your Honor. She was in South Carolina. I was here in New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I loaded the pictures for her to Dropbox and what I normally do is I have what you call an FTP, uh, file transfer, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your honor, I have- How many pictures total were there? I have right here 512 pictures that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Approximately 69, 79. Okay, I'm gonna say 100.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, your honor, when I moved into this apartment last year, uhm, I had a few requirements. One of the requirements was that uhm, I had heat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another requirement was that I couldn't have banging, pounding music because of medical issues. Uhm, Alan assured me this would not be a problem in either case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, very noise sensitive, Your Honor. So am I. So I know your pain, but go ahead. Okay, so uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I moved into the, uh, the other issue was the carpeting. Uhm, when I looked at the apartment, the carpets hadn't been clean yet and I said to him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do intend on cleaning these carpets. He said they are clean. I was like no they're not. He's like these carpets are done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I continued- He said he did do him? Yes ma'am. Okay. Uhm, the smell was atrocious. I let it go, I went out and bought some air fresheners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so down the road it was, I think it was like two months, Your Honor. All of a sudden, I got pounding music in my house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called him up. I had knocked on my neighbor's door and I asked him if he could keep it down a little bit at night so I could sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I picked the sound barrier wall and had to live with the smell of the carpets. I have a list, Your Honor. I don't know if they gave-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me about the no heat. Okay, uhm, I have, this is really lengthy, Your Honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have all the reports from license and inspection, from my section 8 workers, I have my medical- Was this a section 8 apartment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How was he getting away with not providing heat? The law in Connecticut is the house had to register at least 65 degrees in temperature at all times. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sadly enough, it did register at 65 degrees. So then what did you do wrong?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Section 8 even said there was nothing they could do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Your Honor, here is a copy of the money order and the receipt for my February 2017 rent. Okay, let's see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Honor, the only reason I moved out of this apartment was for lack of heat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you Douglas. You're welcome ma'am. Dwayne Kwameena, you are suing Nawal Mohammed. Yes. And Tibet Sherwitzel. Yes. Close, did I get it? Very good. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In stolen items that you say the two of them stole from you and won't return. Tell me what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so she is your soon to be ex-wife, but you're, you're, you're still legally married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And can you educate me, according to Islamic law, what happens to make you legally married?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she hadn't been living at the house where you were told by the restraining order not to go back to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are either of them his? So you get the restraining order, you're surprised, do you reach out to her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you give me a temporary order? And then there's a full blown hearing where both sides get heard and then the judge decides whether to make the temporary a permanent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's talk about that. You end up at the permanent, at the permanent hearing to see if it's going to become permanent or if it's going to evaporate and what happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, now you have a theory that the reason she got a restraining order against you was to get you out of the house for her to be able to go in and steal all this stuff. Yeah. Who owns this stuff? I do. Uh, how can you prove that you own it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and now let me hear from you. Uh, what day? I don't think you'd deny that you went in there and took all the equipment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the relationship between you two? We're friends. Friends or girlfriends? She's my girlfriend. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a pretty good relationship I guess? Yes your honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A Bose PA system, a Karma workstation keyboard, that's the big ticket item.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had previously said that was worth 2,000. Why did you say today it's worth 3,206?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you don't get to upgrade in a lawsuit. A lawsuit is about making you whole. Assuming I were to decide this was your stuff and she had no right to take it, then what you would be entitled to is the depreciated value of the item that you actually lost. Do you have receipts for any of these things you said you did?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either a marriage or a girlfriend-boyfriend situation or thinking. You're talking about an item that he owned before you walked in. And you took that and everything else. We'll talk about everything else. So, I'm looking for more receipts from what you handed my bailiff. I gave you QVC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bose PA System. Do you have a receipt for that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Your Honor. Do you have a prospective court date? Like is there a hearing date set?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, Your Honor. Not even the Samsung with the contacts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am going to rule in your favor on, uhm, certain items and rule


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, on the Karma Workstation, you can get one of those for $549. That was entirely your product before you guys even met.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am awarding you $549 on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the fair market value is about 400. That's an item that you bought, uh, together as man and wife and I am awarding you half of that one. The Dell computer, it sounds pretty clear that that was your computer. And I'm going to award you the full fair market value of it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the wireless system that you have no receipt for and that she says was a gift, nothing. So I do find in your favor in the following amount, $1,069 plus you will return the Samsung phone. That is my verdict. Good luck folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you Maria Hennigan? Hennigan, yes. Okay. You're suing her for 44, uh, $4,450 for roof repair, floor repair, and inspection costs that you think she should pay. You have a counterclaim against her for five grand for harassment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to you, you rent to her and her fiance several years ago. What, three years you've been there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, you, uh, installed DirecTV? Yes. And you had them put a dish on her roof? Yes.
