was in the hospital and apparently never returned, according to TheNewspaper.com.
Mathis is demanding a whopping total of $520 billion in damages from the Columbus Department of Public Safety‘s Impound Unit, according to court documents obtained by the blog.
The hubbub began in January, when Mathis got into a car accident and went to the hospital. She was in the hospital until February, and her car was towed in the process. When she asked the impound unit about her 2002 Saturn, officials wouldn’t give her any information, she alleged.
Now she thinks that the impound unit got rid of her car, and that it was thrown away because impounders simply didn’t like her.
“It is Plaintiff’s belief that Defendant has since disposed of
her vehicle,” federal magistrate Judge Elizabeth Deavers said in the document dated June 4
(Now Pay Attention, Umm this might help explain things. LOL)
“Plaintiff further believes that Defendant has acted intentionally, because of her past experiences with the Impound Unit.”
Naturally, the judge thinks the $500 billion number is a little steep and wants the claim dismissed. She says that Mathis didn’t even ask about why her car was towed — she just wanted the money.
“In this case, the undersigned finds that Plaintiff fails to state a facially plausible federal
claim,” she said. “Plaintiff first attempts to a bring claim under the Fourth Amendment for unlawful seizure. From the facts Plaintiff pleads, however, it appears that the seizure of her vehicle was proper.”
The outcome of the hearing is not yet clear.
I for one think it is a reasonable amount. Damn car impounds.
Now tell me that you believe all this came from nothing….

On June 18, 2011, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft successfully completed its second-closest encounter with Saturn’s small moon, the icy Helene.
Saturn and its principal moons, the largest one being Titan.
With an average radius about 9 times larger than the Earth’s, Saturn is the 6th planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter. Saturn is named after the Roman god Saturn, equated to the Greek Cronus (the Titan father of Zeus), the Babylonian Ninurta and the Hindu Shani.
Saturn has 9 rings, consisting mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. 62 known moons orbit the planet, not counting hundreds of “moonlets” within the rings.
Helene is a small moon of Saturn, discovered in 1980 from ground-based observations at Pic du Midi Observatory. In 1988 it was officially named after Helen of Troy, who was the granddaughter of Cronus (Saturn) in Greek mythology.
Helene is tiny, with a mean radius of only 10.94 miles (17.6 km)!
