Just one day after being held in contempt for repeatedly flouting court orders, Rudy Giuliani missed yet another crucial filing deadline as the two Georgia election workers he defamed continue litigating collection of the $148 million judgment they were awarded.

As a result, U.S. District Court Judge Lewis J. Liman threatened to prohibit Giuliani from submitting evidentiary exhibits in connection with next week’s proceedings over the ownership of the former New York City mayor’s three Yankees World Series rings. Liman in a brief two-page order on Tuesday called out Giuliani and his attorney, Joseph Cammarata, for failing to properly work with the attorneys for plaintiffs Rudy Freeman and Shay Moss in filing joint pretrial orders.

Joint pretrial orders are critical documents that dictate the course of a trial by laying out the legal and factual issues before the court. They are typically prepared by plaintiff’s counsel with input from the defense and include the parties’ positions on the court’s jurisdiction, claim summaries, and exhibit lists — as well as objections to the opposing party’s exhibit list.

The filing was due at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. While attorneys for the plaintiffs as well as Andrew Giuliani, the intervenor in the case, followed the procedures clearly outlined by the court, Giuliani and Cammarata appeared to go their own way.
