Ammon Bundy, his brother Ryan Bundy, and co-defendants Ryan Payne and Brian Cavalier are appealing ... U.S. District Court Judge Anna J. Brown's ruling last week that would allow U.S. marshals to transport them April 13 to Nevada ...

Their defense lawyers argued that they didn't think federal prosecutors in Oregon and Nevada should pursue criminal cases against the defendants at the same time. Splitting time between courtrooms and jail cells in Oregon and Nevada would severely compromise their ability to meaningfully communicate with their defense attorneys and would interfere with their rights to speedy trials, they argued ...

The formal notice of appeal was made to the court on Monday, likely placing any transfer on hold until the matter is heard by the appellate court.

1. Yup! Good luck with that guys.

All the Bundy Rabbits disallow the court's authority just like they disallow federal authority over... well, just about everything.

Q: Is Ryan Bundy Rabbit still going to be his own lawyer?

I wish I had the popcorn concession at the court house.

Thanks for your great coverage, s4p.

2. They will likely win this one. A lot of good that will do them.

The court needs to grant this because if they have to go forward, they will use this to appeal the verdict.

3. Pass the popcorn.

True... True...

Here's my novice theory on this... Now, that there's some high powered defense attorneys on the scene.

They are probably facing the more serious charges in Nevada. Also, that is a case that's almost two years old. I'm unaware of the stat-o-limits, but, it seems like more often than not it's 3 to 5 years.

So, what's the answer from the DT? Run out the clock on the Nevada charges by avoiding the trial there. Then, by the time it's time for the Oregon trial the delay is a ready made technical defense.

May be good advice. May not be. Watch for appeal after appeal. ('till the money runs out, of course)

5. They just try to create grounds for later appeal.

You can't say you were denied justice when you passed on the opportunity to ask for it. If they ask and are denied, they create a shot at getting the inevitable conviction tossed. They have to find an out other than winning because they will be convicted.

6. well, they posted all the evidence on the internet

4. You guys want a speedy trial, don't you?

Shoulda thought of that before you went on a multi-state federal crime spree.
