Poor Greer, I think Hardin is one of very few lawyers in the united states experienced and skilled in dealing with the legal troubles that come with the unique position Dear Feeder is in. Maybe he is the only one truly qualified. There's nothing like the farms and no one else like Josh.
No. The shitshow continues. The costs being awarded to Josh are just the legal expenses for dealing with Russell's non-disclosure of evidence and witnesses.
No
No
No such determination was made, as a preliminary matter or even as a definitive ruling.
No.
While true, I'm not sure that would be entirely a factor. He could certainly make that argument, but I don't see much success.
Indeed. This is a Discovery Sanction. Incidentally, the judge never did give us an update on whether he thinks Russ complied with Rule 26 (specifically he refused to do so for now), so Greer is still on the potential hook for dismissal as a sanction
Yes, both by being made to pay additional fees and penalties and interest on the first fees, and by doing further fuckery in other parts of the case.
Dismissal bros, there's still a chance!
Presumably he's just working on his appeal to the Supreme court. Why bother with the circuit court, they've already agreed with him so they'll let him just appeal straight to the top.
I feel we're due for a "Russ sues his way into k-pop" storyarc.
I think he's under the impression that the costs will be minimal and he can probably use his excellent prose to sweet talk the judge into making it simply cancel out what Null allegedly owes.
We're almost at the end of the beginning. 4 years. Russhole has delayed this shit for 4 years until Hardin reached out (after hiring a fucking PI) to Russ's witnesses to subpoena and depose them, they discovered they were on a witness list of a lolsuit, and Russ panicked and fucked up and mentioned he has no witnesses and no evidence.
The judge really wants this to happen, so yes. Unless there's a settlement (absolutely not happening) or Greer withdraws, this case WILL go to a full adult trial.
We know he doesn’t have evidence. We’ve known since this started Russ is lying when he said he has evidence and witnesses. However in court documents Russ still claims to have evidence of contributory copyright infringements. I’d say unless Russ comes out and says “your honor I don’t have any evidence or witnesses I just want to hurt josh for letting people laugh at my antics” the judge is gonna drag him to trial where he will bitch and moan about how mean the kiwi farms is before it gets dismissed again.
Well, depends on how it gets kicked, but, generally, yes, though again, depending on the nature of the dismissal (or the cause) he'd have a much harder or easier time on appeal (and appeals are hard to win in general)
