Robert Osadchuck Clerk BY THE COURT JUDGMENT [ 1 ] On the facts as found by the trial judge, and which the Appellant states are no longer in issue, the Court concludes that the finding of an inexcusable error on the part of the Appellant was unavoidable, especially in light of the trial judge’s stated views about the credibility of notary Robinette. Consequently the appeal as initiated presents no reasonable chance of success. FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT: [ 2 ] GRANTS the motions, with legal costs; [ 3 ] DISMISSES the appeal, with legal costs.
