For filing such a baseless motion, can the court sanction Russ on its own, or does Marathon have to move for costs?

Sure they can. They could impose Rule 11 sanctions. While it'd be better if Marathon asked, the 9th circuit noted that FRCP gives them power to do so on its own (sua sponte). In regards to that, they stated that such sanctions (sua sponte) "will ordinarily be imposed only in situations that are akin to a contempt of court". See United Nat. Ins. Co. v. RD Latex Corp., 242 F.3d 1102 (9th Cir. 2001). I feel like this more than qualifies. That being said, I don't believe sanctions are likely. I am sticking with my earlier claims that this will help Fremantle when they seek attorney's fees.

no you don't understand, russ is the exception to all that. Freemantle won't let him EXPLAIN so he has no choice!

It's even better than that. Russ acknowledges that he got to explain, but pretty much states that he is confused as to why Fremantle doesn't agree with him even after he explained, and he is so confused that he asked the judge for a conference in which the judge would tell him what to do.

Alright, you called a Tuesday response.

I did? Where? I genuinely don't remember that.

When are we getting Fremantle's response to this that sends Russell off the deep end?

He's literally asking the court for legal advice, something the court is absolutely prohibited from doing.

That's why it's my favorite part.

And how do you still not have a fucking audition?

He auditioned already. He was denied to advance to the show because, presumingly, his audition sucked.

I notice this case tangentially involves the infamous Judge Manuel Real. I don't like the reasoning, though. It says that Rule 11 sanctions imposed sua sponte are, under this reasoning, subject to contempt of court and not subject to the notice requirement, because they are "akin" to the court's inherent powers.

If so, why use a rule that doesn't explicitly authorize that? Make the court actually use its inherent powers. If it's actually contempt of court, just call it that. This is a niggling complaint. It's kind of shadows and penumbras-y.

Yeah, it's kinda weird. I haven't found many 9th circuit cases where sua sponte sanctions weren't reversed. The other decent one I found was 1989 case Townsend v Holman Consulting Corporation 881 F.2d 788, which presents a different argument, one that focuses more on whatever or not the motion that was sua sponte sanctioned was properly found to be frivolous. As far as I can see, all newer 9th circuit cases use the argument presented by United Nat. Ins. Co. v. RD Latex Corp., 242 F.3d 1102 (9th Cir. 2001). For example, Agbaosi v. U.S., 286 F. App'x 465 (9th Cir. 2008 ), Vizconde v. Burchard (In re Vizconde), 715 F. App'x 630 (9th Cir. 2017), Gonzales v. Texaco Inc., 344 F. App'x 304 (9th Cir. 2009), etc. So, while the argument may seem silly, it's the one 9th circuit has chosen to use

Sadly, it isn't really an argument. It's something binding on everyone who lives in the Ninth Circuit and has to deal with its bullshit.

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?

Surely they must have ghosted him as soon as they got paid. Surely.
That said they must have some interesting stories, even from their limited exposure. Come on guys, come and talk to us. The worst he's going to do is fail at suing you.

Russ' newest motion implies they haven't.

 

[Kugelsak Kastengrus 6th]

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.

The crazy part is that Alyssa is tame compared to Angela Gossow. Angela would tear him to shreds on multiple fronts. Especially since Rusty would assume she's more approachable due to her being a teetotaler.

 

[Drowningman]

Russ still speaks to the accommodations and the drummer follows shit lips on IG Who we discovered his identity a few months back.

 

[TractorGirl]

I wonder if shitlips made them sign some sort of NDA about working with him in case they found their way here?

 

[DSP's Tax Lawyer]

I did? Where? I genuinely don't remember that.

I thought it was you who said that in response to the start of filming AGT

Read the footnote at the bottom. There is much Coping and Seething going on in Las Vegas tonight

The footnote at the bottom is pretty solid. I guess there is no point in this filing to go all out and rip him since this case is basically over

 

[Useful_Mistake]

I don't believe so.

 

[DSP's Tax Lawyer]

I don't believe so.

I figure we will get a hot smoking demand for Extra Extra Special (short bus) Injunctive Relief by end of business day Tuesday.

It appears I was asking the wrong psychic legal mind

Russell Greer is the perfect example of this quote.

 

[StinkySnack]

If he's still having band "practice" (it's called rehearsal, dipshit) then that means he's still paying his accommodations. I'm quite content knowing he'll lose another several thousand rehearsing for an audition that will never happen

 

[Useful_Mistake]

for an audition that will never happen

Come on, my dude, has Russ ever been wrong?

 

[StinkySnack]

I wonder if shitlips made them sign some sort of NDA about working with him in case they found their way here?

If he did, I'm sure he didn't execute it properly and it's invalid.

This is speculation, but I doubt Russell would have agreed to work with them if he were that suspicious of them at the time. You're either Good or Bad, either pro-Russ or anti-Russ. If he thought they were Bad, he never would have agreed to work with them. If he thought they were Good, he never would have come up with a contingency plan. I suspect he'll abruptly re-assess them as Bad after his suit fails.

Russ replies to Fremantle's reply

Spoiler: Images

tldr: Russ says Fremantle meanies lied about what Russ said:

Russ says he totally didn't want to get anything from Fremantle, but only wanted judge's advice on what to do because he is many confuse:



Russ also says he has never abused the courts, well okay, he did, but that should be ignored, and because he said it should be ignored, it therefore is not relevant:


Greer got legal advice from his therapist (I am not making this up) and his therapist told him that he had a case:
