EAST ST. LOUIS – Chief Twentieth Circuit Judge Andrew Gleeson properly corrected an inadvertent dating error that involved a statute of limitations, Chief U.S. District Judge Nancy Rosenstengel decided on Jan. 15.
She found that dent repairman Wesley Huff filed suit in a business dispute last March 30, not on April 7 as a stamp on the complaint showed.
Gleeson entered an order changing the date last June.
Rosenstengel wrote that if there is proper evidence of a clerical error, a judge may correct it at any time.
Nothing but the date remained on the complaint when she finished with it.
She dismissed all counts against Huff’s former partners Charles Binkley, Eric Stokes and Andy Clawson, and she gave Huff three weeks to amend the complaint.

As streamers face an escalating battle with American cities over local utility fees, one judge issues a first-of-its-kind ruling as another judge hears First Amendment arguments over the digital transmission of Queen s Gambit and Cobra Kai.
If 2020 became the year that American cities, burdened by a health pandemic and desperate to find new revenue, declared war on Netflix and other streamers, the year ended with a potentially important court ruling that suggests that the fight won t be an easy one for streaming services looking to avoid local taxation. In two separate orders, a Missouri judge ruled that townships in her state had alleged facts sufficient to support allegations that Netflix, Hulu and DirecTV were covered by Missouri s Video Services Providers Act and that these defendants couldn t avoid utility fees by holding up the Internet Tax Freedom Act.
