Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

I guess my question is how likely the appeals court is going to decide the rulings were made in error. Time will tell but it hasn't gone very well so far.
 
I mean the most important thing is that it takes longer for any of the shitbags to get money from Vic. Probably a lot longer now (I imagine the TX Supreme Court will take forever to tell them to fuck off). I mean with Beard involved, the filing is going to be utter garbage, so there's zero chance of a victory, but prolonging the time before they get their hands on THE DAMN GFM MONEY is a cause I can get behind.
 
Uh fuck, looks like I'm stuck here until 2025.

I hate to admit it, but I agree with you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't SCoTx only review cases if they think they present an issue that is relevant to the (Texan) constitution, or is it that something that only SCOTUS does (but with the US constitution)?
 
PDF version:
Reading it now I have the time. It's not written by Beard, or not primarily. Within the restrictions of the required form and structure, the language just doesn't read like his writing style.

There's not enough typos, for one.

Vic's appeal fits within the designated parameters.

 
On the plus side, I'd say that the most likely outcome will also be the quickest, as the SCOTX denying the request for review probably wouldn't take too long and it would put the final nail in this lawsuit's coffin.
I am not actually sure the panel was correct about their nearly Kafkaesque interpretation of how stringently a Rule 11 (not the federal rule) agreement should be interpreted. In fact, I think it was kind of shit, although I am not a Texas appellate lawyer and every single one of those judges is.

I think it's a terrible way to operate, but that doesn't mean it isn't completely valid Texas law, and three Texas appellate judges also think so. I am in no position to question their wisdom.

It's still at least remotely possible they are wrong and SCOTX will say so, but obviously don't get your hopes up.

Oh joy, one last opportunity for Lemonlungs to weigh in on the cawnsluts, the GoFundMe warchest, Nick Rekieta, and all the other topics on his mind.

Hopefully this won't cost Vic too much. I really hope Ty is bankrolling all of this himself at this point when he's the biggest reason why this is happening to begin with.
 
They're addressing the reversible errors made by both courts regarding the tcpa hearing. The other torts weren't strictly in play at the time.
The dismissal of the other torts were reversible errors, at least according to the list of reversible errors in the first few pages.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious though.
 
Am I retarded, or did they only address defamation and ignore all the other torts?

Tortious interference (with Business relations or with a contract) tends to require an underlying tort or some unlawful underlying action. If Vic is found to not be defamed, the TI sorta falls apart (and they only argued TI in regards to torts, not other unlawful actions that could also give rise to TI, though personally I think going after TI was the more likely to succeed choice). Conspiracy works the exact same way. They are what is called a "derivative tort". See Agar Corp., Inc. v. Electro Circuits Int'l, LLC, 580 S.W.3d 136 (Tex. 2019) for Conspiracy, and see Wal-Mart Stores v. Sturges, 52 S.W.3d 711 (Tex. 2001) for TI, though they didn't use that exact phrase in the second citation.

So will this be months of F5 on Thursdays or do they post on a different day
They release miscellaneous orders whenever they feel like it, but release actual important stuff on Fridays usually. See:

I suppose I’m deranged but I’m still at a loss for how alleging that a person is a “rapist”, a “pedophile” and a “sexual predator” when they’ve not been legitimately investigated for, let alone charged with or convicted of any sexually-based criminal act, isn’t specific enough to be considered defamatory.

Ask the judge about that one. Whatever we might blame Beard for, Chupp ultimate made the decision based on how many people were in the room. The appeals court sided with him for no obvious reason.

I still think Beard should have made more of the fact that Chupp told him to stop objecting.
