He doesn't actually need to, unless the court requests it, but he probably will. Russ has a heavy burden to overcome before the defense even needs to respond, and he's nowhere near it. It's not like this is something he defaults on if he doesn't. But if he does, he'd be entirely justified moving for fees on having more time wasted on this bullshit. Russ has already had a shot across the bow about his frivolous bullshit, and apparently he didn't take the hint.
I actually think he needs to unless the court states that an opposition is unnecessary because the motion is denied. A timely filed motion to alter or amend a judgment reopens the earlier judgment. McNabola v. Chi. Transit Auth., 10 F.3d 501, 520-21 (7th Cir. 1993) ("Although a timely postjudgment motion opens up the earlier judgment and even permits the court to enlarge on the issues delineated by the motion the non-moving party may not then make its own untimely request for alteration of the judgment on a wholly independent ground"). As such, Russ' shitty motion is governed by LR 7-1, and unfortunately LR 7-1(d) applies.

(d) Failure to Respond.

Failure to respond timely to a motion, other than for summary judgment, may result in the court’s granting the motion without further notice.

I seriously doubt the court would grant Russ' shitty ass motion on that kind of technicality, but it's not a risk I would be willing to take. Unless the court decides to enter a ruling on the motion denying it before the 14 day deadline passes. Honestly, even a short one page opposition stating that Shitlips has not provided any satisfactory pleading showing inducement of Copyright Infringement would probably be enough. Or even just a paragraph stating that he's using the same arguments as his opposition to the motion to dismiss in an attempt to relitigate. Usually that gets Motions for Reconsideration denied.

But the more I think about it, the more I think Skordas should file a full opposition and stick Russ with the bill.

I'm not absolutely sure about that, but all it says is "the non-moving party may not then make its own untimely request for alteration of the judgment[.]" Why would the non-moving party, in this case the defendant, want to move to alter a judgment that he completely won?

I think it's pretty likely there will be an opposition, even if it is just a couple paragraphs stating the boilerplate extremely high standard a Rule 59(e) movant must meet to prevail, and a couple cases as to why he didn't. I seriously don't see why the defendant would move to alter the judgment, in a timely manner or otherwise.

For instance: “Grounds for granting a Rule 59(e) motion include ‘(1) an intervening change in the controlling law, (2) new evidence previously unavailable, and (3) the need to correct clear error or prevent manifest injustice.’” Somerlott v. Cherokee Nation Distribs., Inc., 686 F.3d 1144, 1153 (10th Cir. 2012) (quoting Servants of Paraclete v. Does, 204 F.3d 1005, 1012 (10th Cir. 2000)).

Plaintiff does not assert an intervening change in the controlling law or new evidence, therefore, but only "clear error." The Tenth Circuit has defined "clear error" as "an arbitrary, capricious, whimsical, or manifestly unreasonable judgment." Wright ex rel. Trust Co. of Kan. v. Abbott Labs., Inc., 259 F.3d 1226, 1235 (10th Cir. 2001).

And then just echo the fact that Greer never even pled contributory infringement satisfactorily and is arguing like some kind of fucking retard about fair use, which isn't even an issue without establishing those criteria first. This could be pasted almost directly from the original motion to dismiss.

Bla bla bla, respectfully submitted, yada yada, also gimme fees.

In McNoobla, the prevailing party moved for prejudgement interest, which is also a Rule 59(e) motion. I just failed to crop out the irrelevant shit from the quote. The key part is that "a timely postjudgment motion opens up the earlier judgment," so the case is reopened for the limited purposes stated in the Rule 59 motion, and the local rules regarding motion practice would still apply.

The burden is on the 59(e) movant, though, so it is not something where a nonresponding non-movant defaults on it by failing to respond if the movant has utterly failed to establish any conceivable grounds for granting it.

He's just the fucking king of parasocial relationships, isn't he? He really thinks Skordas has ever thought about him outside the courtroom, except for "is that the pipsqueak that was trying to sue rock stars, stalking my daughter?"

There's no relationship at all, he's just as insane as he's ever been. Never change, Ratface.
 
He STILL doesn't understand what good faith means, and he apparently also doesn't understand that lawyers can take whatever case they want. Skordas isn't harassing him by representing Null. Skordas hasn't communicated with him during this suit. Russ doesn't understand what harassment is either. I hope he sues Skordas so Skordas can countersue for defamation and stomp Russ (legally) into the ground.
Harassment is when people say things Certain Special People don't like. I have this on the good authority of various high quality lunatics. That is also what bullying is.
 
You'd think that if Shit-Lips had "people close to him", people close enough to "question the court's judgement" to dismiss his suit, then he'd occasionally be able to get a selfie with them once in a while. Why, it's almost like he was completely full of shit when he wrote that line, and the only people questioning the court's judgement is only Greer himself, because he doesn't fucking understand the law AT ALL and is just bitter that the judge didn't give him what he wanted. He's all alone with no friends, a family that wants little to nothing to do with him, pitching a childish tantrum because he was denied getting his way again.
 
i think we are on the same page, but even a narcissist knows when they have cornered themselves. he will fight this last battle, but there will be no more FB, twitter, insta, etc because he can’t control the narrative. he still believes he can with this last avenue, but once that fails, he will have nowhere to go. the narcissism is exactly why he’s cut himself off of any platform someone can respond to him. once the court system is done, he has nothing left.


edit: i also believe this is why his court filings are written more like blog posts (i was formally/formerly a certified legal assistant) because that’s all he has left.

That's assuming that the narcissist is smart enough to know he's cornered. Russ has proven that he makes a bowl of mashed potatoes look like Einstein in comparison.
 
I want someone to sit his greasy ass down and explain (his favorite thing!) that a lawyer taking a case because he's familiar with the other party and their tactics isn't harassment, it's good practice. Russ is still pissed that Skordas was probably the driving force behind getting him charged for his harassment of Erika. Russ doesn't realize that lawyers talk to each other, and when his name came up after Erika got her own lawyer, Skordas was probably eager to share what he knew. I sure there's a lawyer-only forum or communications app that lawyers use to ask each other questions. Erika's lawyer probably posted something like "hey my client is being harassed by some greasy weirdo named Russell Greer, anyone know anything about him?" And Skordas was "oh, do I ever." We all know what happened next.

the irony is that skordas probably would not have bothered greer at all beyond the initial court case he was originally hired for had greer not started making comments about skordas' daughter lol

He was hired for Russ's first suit against Taylor Swift, and then again for Ariana Grande. And yeah, I agree if Russ hadn't tried to creep on Skordas' daughter, that would have been the end of Skordas' involvement. But then Russ creeped on his daughter, and tried to get a colleague of Skordas' disbarred for not hiring him after he harassed her, and I think Skordas realized that Russ was at least a potential threat.

I think the person he keeps showing screenshots of messages he sent to is his therapist. None of the messages are in his normal text voice; they're written more like what I imagine he thinks a therapist wants to hear. They ape that kind of language, but in an oddly shallow way.

No basis for this other than just how unnaturally they come off. It's like he thinks he's some sort of social chameleon, but it's kind of in an uncanny valley.

Pretty sure when he says 'people close to me', he's referring to his therapist. No one else talks to the ghoul.

Why are you discounting the voices in his head? You are being very ableist. For shame.

The voices in his head walked out on him years ago. Taking what little remained of his common sense with them.

My personal favorite point in his latest filing is the claim that his filings are proofread by actual lawyers. I can't help but think that pulling on that thread would be revealing. He clearly is not represented by any lawyer. No legit lawyer would agree to proofread his shit as that would almost certainly come back to bite them. No actual human lawyer would touch pipsqueaks papers without a signed client agreement and a pile of cash. So who proofread his shit? Either some Legalzoom type website algorythem or some legal aid lawyer offering service to homeless people in the park? He can be forgiven for mistaking Russ for a Homeless Hobo. I can assume after "proofreading" Russ's insane manifestos he fell back on "well I dont see any major spelling errors" as the only thing he could say to get rid of Russ and not take ownership of his shit.
