IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS 
 
DIVISION OF ST. THOMAS AND ST. JOHN 
  
EARL ROBERT VELGER, 
     
 
 
 
 
Plaintiff, 
 
 
 
CASE NO. 2010-42 
 
v. 
 
DARWIN CARR individually and as 
Trustee of LIVE BY FAITH 
IRREVOCABLE TRUST, 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Defendants. 
 
 
 
 
 
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER 
 
Before the Court is the Motion for Sanctions Against Darwin Carr (ECF 119).  
What began as a seemingly straightforward breach of contract suit and counterclaim 
based upon a land contract for the sale of a condominium, has apparently degenerated 
during discovery into a series of events that include reciprocal name-calling, accusations 
of threats of violence, and a deep pile of pages upon which counsel for the parties accuse 
one another repeatedly of lying. 1  This conduct is unseemly, unnecessary and 
unacceptable.   
This Court will not join in an attempt to reconcile what may or may not have 
happened at Mr. Murdjeff’s deposition in June or at Yacht Haven Grande in March.  The 
parties are directed that if they believe there is a cause for concern about any criminal 
behavior, they should take such concerns to the proper law enforcement authorities and 
not to this Court.  Likewise, if there is a concern regarding a breach of any ethical 
standards, and a complaint to the disciplinary arm of the Supreme Court of the Virgin 
                     
1 And, mixed into the vitriol in the motion for sanctions and responsive papers, are arguments by both sides 
on the merits of the case, which should be made in the context of a different type of motion.

Islands is warranted, they should bring such complaint to the appropriate body 
themselves, and not look to this Court to do so.  Finally, counsel are directed to cease 
acting like children, get the necessary remaining discovery completed, and move toward 
a trial of this case.     
Accordingly, the premises considered, it is hereby  
ORDERED that the motion for sanctions is DENIED.
