Calls from/regarding David Ruvolo

If he calls or wants information, just drop him into ANK's voicemail. Don’t engage him.

He will call fishing for information.  Previous call dates:

Sandra transferred a call to me at the end of the day yesterday which she said sounded fishy. He told Sandra his name was David calling from Priority Investigation. He told me he was working on the Margarita Gonzalez v. WM matter (2354-2879) and was tasked to get the name of the attorney/case manager handling that case. The matter is closed. I asked about the purpose and he said he didn’t know, he was only tasked to find out that information. I didn’t see Priority Investigation as a vendor on that matter, so I asked if he was doing work for us – thought maybe we owed them money. He said no, for the other side. Told him the attorney’s name wasn’t coming up likely because the attorney working on that matter was no longer with us or the matter was closed (didn’t say CJR was on LOA). He then asked if we still had the Ruvolo matter and if Sharon Palmer was still there. I let him know that I would not be answering any questions without knowing the purpose. We hung up. -TBS

ANK's summary:

He is a nice enough, harmless guy, but a guy with some degree of mental illness. He sued Walmart several years ago, and there was a trial (his lawyers fired him as a client and he represented himself at trial.).  Carey & I tried the case. He lost.  Walmart asked us to file a cost judgment, which we did, so we could negotiate a waiver of appellate rights in exchange for a waiver of costs.  He refused.  He has periodically surfaced from time to time in the last five years (trial was February/March 2020) making vague/weird threats, look up Carey’s husband on line, buying URLs and then offering them for sale to us (ie, drewkohn.com etc).  his own mother called carey during or prior to the trial letting us know about his mental illness.  Best for us to simply leave him alone. He hasn’t made any threats of harm or anything but you never know and although he was polite and courteous during the trial to us he sometimes sends weird emails and makes random calls. He’s never been here in this office (to my knowledge) and as I said I’ve never had any sense of any threat from him, but just be extra careful and circumspect if/when he calls.  He’s just super odd.
