At least here in Canada, yes, it is not easy to just drop a client. You have to make a motion or application to remove yourself as counsel. I have also dealt with situations like this and in essence, a lawyer would choose to end representation due to the client unwilling to accept the legal advice that the lawyer believes is in the client's best interest. In the couple times I dealt with it, it was a case where the defendant offered to settle for XXX dollars and the offer was fair and appropriate given the evidence, yet the client wanted more and refused to fight all the way to trial, even though the likelihood of winning at trial was nil.

So, if these guys want to get out, they would have to show the court that Russell refuses to accept their guidance on how to proceed and thinks he knows better than what his lawyer is advising. If they said for example it was in Russ' best interests to get the defence to agree to not seek costs against him if he dismissed his legal proceeding, but Russ wanted to keep going. That would be a situation where Russ' counsel could say the solicitor/client relationship has broken down because Russ won't follow the legally sound and appropriate instructions from his counsel and refuses to resolve it in any manner unless the resolution is getting exactly what he wants, regardless if he has no hope in hell of obtaining a decision or compensation in his favour.

They could, but he's pro-se. The court tends to treat pro-se litigants with kids gloves and they are hesitant to issue sanctions for failures to follow court procedures, such as meeting and conferring before filing motions in accordance with the local rules. Marathon's really driving home that Rusty has a history of doing this shit though, so even if the court doesn't sanction him on its own volition, Marathon has a good basis to move for costs.

Exactly! While pro-se are given a bit more latitude, the fact that Marathon has brought to the court's attention that Russell has a pattern of being frivolous and vexatious, that kind of balances the scales again and his standing as a pro-se won't help him much due to his past history of wasting Court's and counsel's time and resources.

The Court are happy to give leeway to self-represented individuals. But if there is a history of litigious nature and lawsuits filed without merit, then that card isn't so strong to play to give the Court feels that they should be gentle with you.

He just showed the judge that he does not give two shits about agreements he made with Fremantle (agreements that he and Fremantle asked the judge to sign), so while I don't want to make predictions, if Fremantle asks for money, I'm sure the judge would be more than willing to look in favor of the party that didn't spit at a judge, the court, and at everything the courts hold dear

Lawyers can usually withdraw for failure to pay fees, although this isn't universal, especially in a situation where a lawyer has taken on a client in the expectation that the work was pro bono. Having taken on that obligation, they can't then leave the client stranded in the middle of a lawsuit. Other just cause is, in somewhat descending order of severity, discovering that the client has used you to perpetrate a fraud on the court, discovery of a non-waivable conflict of interest, physical or mental problems disabling the lawyer, including substance abuse, irreconcilable differences in how to pursue the case, such animosity between client and counsel that it prevents competent representation, or literally anything that disqualifies the lawyer.

Nevada's rule, which is more or less on all fours with the MRPC.
Rule 1.16.  Declining or Terminating Representation.

(a) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer shall not represent a client or, where representation has commenced, shall withdraw from the representation of a client if:

(1) The representation will result in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct or other law;

(2) The lawyer’s physical or mental condition materially impairs the lawyer’s ability to represent the client; or

(3) The lawyer is discharged.

(b) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer may withdraw from representing a client if:

(1) Withdrawal can be accomplished without material adverse effect on the interests of the client;

(2) The client persists in a course of action involving the lawyer’s services that the lawyer reasonably believes is criminal or fraudulent;

(3) The client has used the lawyer’s services to perpetrate a crime or fraud;

(4) A client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant or with which the lawyer has fundamental disagreement;

(5) The client fails substantially to fulfill an obligation to the lawyer regarding the lawyer’s services and has been given reasonable warning that the lawyer will withdraw unless the obligation is fulfilled;

(6) The representation will result in an unreasonable financial burden on the lawyer or has been rendered unreasonably difficult by the client; or

(7) Other good cause for withdrawal exists.

(c) A lawyer must comply with applicable law requiring notice to or permission of a tribunal when terminating representation. When ordered to do so by a tribunal, a lawyer shall continue representation notwithstanding good cause for terminating the representation.

(d) Upon termination of representation, a lawyer shall take steps to the extent reasonably practicable to protect a client’s interests, such as giving reasonable notice to the client, allowing time for employment of other counsel, surrendering papers and property to which the client is entitled and refunding any advance payment of fee or expense that has not been earned or incurred. The lawyer may retain papers relating to the client to the extent permitted by other law.

Seriously, though, if you're paying a lawyer, you want someone who doesn't find you so repugnant they'd throw you under the prison themselves.

tldr: Russ is mad that the filming already started, thinks Fremantle is big meanies, and wants the judge to tell him what to do (i'm not making this up). Fremantle responds that Russ' motion was unauthorized, and basically sought Fremantle to give Russ all he wants, and so Fremantle objects. Russ' request is for a meeting to happen on the 11th

It sounds like he intended to go to conference, and demand the judge grant the injunction. All he cares about is getting in the same room as Heidi Klum because he thinks she'll be so impressed someone wrote a song about her (I'm sure no one else in her entire life has ever tried to impress her. Russ is a bold visionary) she'll give him the Golden Buzzer or persuade the other judges to vote for him. Russ is proof that just having confidence in yourself isn't a predictor of success. He's always convinced he's going to win when he starts something.

Russell saying, "Okay, I'm still game to go on the show, but I need a few more weeks to practice," is just incomprehensible. You might as well say, "I would like a free billion dollars, but please deliver it to me in fives and tens because it'd be a pain in the ass to get change for larger bills."

This is my favorite part. He’s saying, “I didn’t get accommodations, which violates ADA, hence AGT is in the wrong” and also says, “I have the accommodations and they were used and we need practice to be ready.”

He truly doesn’t see how his own statements nullify his argument. It’s glorious.

I thought that was half the reason we repeat ourselves so often. It's partially to reinforce the Russlore, but also because it increases our chances of being quoted somewhere hilarious someday.

On that note, remember the time Russ harassed Erika? He's such a bad, law-breaking dipshit. I wonder how many other victims he has. Multiple, I'm sure. I bet he breaks the law all the time. But he won't drink wine because he's also a huge prissy stick in the mud. So he manages to be a criminal who's not a badass, which just makes him a loser.

Also his face is weird and makes me think about elective abortion and whether that counts as eugenics when you're removing obviously defective fetuses. Would that really be so bad? Although I'm pretty sure you can't diagnose Moebius in the womb, which is fine because most Moebiusers are probably alright folks. But in this precise case, some timely pennyroyal tea on Mrs. Ross's part would have spared a lot of women a lot of moistly uncomfortable conversations on the bus in the future. At least she had the sense (or intuition) to immediately abandon him once he was born.

Also also he's bad at law. Like, the very worst. His impotence is legendary and not wholly metaphorical. I can't wait to see who he sues next. *polite cough*

He calls living breathing human beings "accommodations." That would be shitty even if they weren't doing 90% of the work. I know he's done it before but... fuck, man. And how do you still not have a fucking audition? How long has it been since he submitted his first audition? Like a year? I know the reason, the reason is that Russell is impossible to work with and probably hasn't gotten a reply from those guys in months since they decided he's not worth the trouble, but still, how do you expect to get on a talent show and win if you have to sue your way past the first hurdle and can't hammer out a fucking audition song in a year?

One thing I've noticed about the women Russ lusts after is that they're always heavily made-up, often surgically altered bimbos with faces like agricultural machinery. He doesn't like pretty women, girl-next-door women, glamorous women or even particularly beautiful women - he likes exhibitionist women. He just likes women who like to pose and like to get their fake tits out. Maybe in Russ' brain exhibitionist = available? He also likes women who don't seem to have strong personalities, or at least ones who come across as genuine or accessible. He likes Instagram hoes, not e-girls for instance, because e-girls talk a lot. Pop stars are generally less publicly talkative than say, rock stars - he likes Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande, but not Christina Scabbia or Alyssa White-Gluz. It's really clear that he just wants a sex doll with a pulse, and he finds women less attractive when they open their mouths - which is kinda ironic when you think of it.

Maybe I just have weird taste in women, but almost none of the thots he harasses are attractive at all.

Now that you've brought it up I need to see Russell attempt to hit on Alyssa White-Gluz. Imagine him pulling his obvious misogynist niceguy schtick with a screaming death metal girl like her, a woman who dresses like a fucking dominatrix when she performs and is very obviously on the far left, which he wouldn't notice because he'd only care about her looks. She'd rip into him so hard he'd probably piss himself. Shame we'll never get to see it, dyed hair is probably against his superior Mormon values.

Excuse me while I shit up the thread with sperging for a while, but every now and again lately I find myself wistfully dreaming about Russ.

…That he’ll actually be allowed on the AGT show, live on tv, in full, glorious 4k drool-o-vision drolby surround sound, broadcast across the USA and beyond. The judges will have been informed beforehand of his suing to get on the show, and as the Cameras focus in on members of the crowd giving each other “wtf is this” looks, Russell Greer will step forward in his red, sequinned jacket, keytar dangling like a millstone from his neck, and will proceed to do an “epic” keyboard solo complete with “cool” foot movements that would make Billy Joel weep (in second-hand embarrassment).

As the last strains of the Accommodations’ hard work fade, they would shuffle offstage in silence and leave Russell, standing alone, hunched and lopsided on the stage, his mouth agape, shirt and keytar dripping with drool. The spotlight finally on him, his face beaming out to millions of viewers all over the world, Russ is evidently in his element, the peak of his performance, heart pounding with excitement at finally, FINALLY being able to lock eyes with Heidi Klum in real life.

The camera pans in to Heidi’s face, which, whilst still wearing a smile, could not under any circumstances be described as overjoyed at the performance she has just been forced to sit through. She glances briefly at the other judges, before resting her gaze back upon the sad little man on the stage.

”So, Russell, you decided to sue the show’s producers just so you could perform this song for me?”

Russ‘s breathing sounds like a pervert on the end of the phone at 3am, Saturday morning, 1983. ”Yesh.”

Murmurs of disquiet ripple through the crowd. Heidi’s bitter smile widens, like a wolf cornering it’s prey. “And you honestly thought you could force this show to put you on this stage? You thought you could force us judges to watch your performance, and force us to take you seriously?” Somewhere towards the back of the auditorium, someone whistles and applauds. Others begin to join in. Heidi looks back at the crowd, appreciatively.

There’s an uncomfortable feeling creeping up on Russell right now, and for once it’s not the realisation that he’s splooged in his pants. Are…are things turning against him? But this is his dream come true, surely it couldn’t be? His song was about Heidi! She has to love it!

”Bullies never win, Mr Greer,” Heidi smiles, to a huge cheer from the audience. ”Your song was bad, your performance was bad, and your attitude…”. By now the crowd are on their feet, whooping and hollering their support.

As Russ visibly shrinks in the glare of the spotlight, Heidi gives her final verdict.

”Get off my stage.”

The crowd go wild, and even Simon Cowell is smiling and clapping.

*Insert cool graphic of imaginary cloud overhead poofing away*
