The final sentence of this wiki page seems silly to me: "The case has been cited several times, and has never been overturned or contradicted." The case rested on one very simple legal issue, the Plaintiff failed to include with his complaint the required form of instructions for the United States Marshal for directions as to service of process. Thus, it seems inappropriate to end the article on the note that the case has not been overturned or contradicted-- this would indicate that the case was somehow controversial or that the legal principle was in dispute. But it's not a controversial case and the legal issue is not in dispute. Estrbrook (talk) 03:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

It is interesting, however, that the case has been cited by other courts (usually tongue-in-cheek). bd2412 T 03:19, 26 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, it is a funny case. I would be good to add back in the "it's been cited several times" part. Estrbrook (talk) 09:11, 26 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
