Steve Quest (p/k/a Montagraph) vs. Nicholas Robert Rekieta & Rekieta Law, LLC (2023)

[There She Glows]

I'm starting to get the feeling that Mr. Hardin simply takes cases that he thinks will be funny.

A true and honest shitposter at heart.

Randazza was at the Reed Trial all day it seems.

It technically did have one, but it was ruled unconstitutional. That doesn't remove it from the books, just stops it from applying.

It was a really gay and dumb and unconstitutional statute. It is good it was invalidated.

Unfortunately, Nick is relying on a statute that explicitly is not retroactive, so clearly does not apply to his case. This is such a dumb claim by the defense that it deserves sanctions.

From the discovery requests:



Imagine Nick having a Match.com account and posting about Monty on it. He sure is stupid enough to do that, but we all know he’s only a member of Fetlife, Adult Friend Finder and Grindr.

I'm starting to wonder what percentage of Hardin's law practice has become motions to recover attorney's fees and sanctions. It's got to be big enough for its own budget line item now.

He's mostly been known as a FOIA attorney and the FOIA has a fee shifting provision for those who sue to get government information. Seems the MN statute has the same and I suspect some other states are similar. So I'm thinking it's already been a pretty big part of his budget.

Hardin is a fuckin monster kaiju breathing fire and fuckin zilla stomping buildings in this sheeeeeit.

Yup, Hardin is a complete savage when it comes to his court filings. And I don't see this court tard-guarding like they do with Greer. Matthew gonna get paid.

I’m enjoying how much Nick is seething about Hardin, who he knows is a caliber of attorney he would never have become. Cry more, Nick!

The judge is gonna love this.
Rather than attending some small-town bullshit case, Randazza was being a smug jerk on Twitter/X and schmoozing in the crowd at the Karen Read case.

And to answer your question, Randazza, yes you do have a jerb and you fucked it up today
I would humbly suggest that you DO need a supervisor.

Imagine being Nick, a weak faggot, who has to contest the claims of an actual information access lawyer getting up in his gay butthole.

My theory is that Randazza took Nick as a client so that he could wring money and misery out of Nick over Nick calling Randazza's partner a faggot, but Nick is too dumb to see it. Furthermore, Randazza should leave Nick hanging out to dry and owing attorney fees more often (for my own personal amusement).

I like this theory, and in fact, Randazza did mention in a filing that Nick had called his law partner a faggot.

 

[Harvey Danger]

I object to these associations by proximity.



I'm not sure why they are even in here, none of these are mentioned in the Responses. On the other hand, things like E-harmony and Classmate are mentioned, but not defined. I wonder if these are editing mistakes from an earlier version.

Tbh pretty pissed off that Hardin didn't ask any times Nick might have visited 4chan's automotive board.

Rekieta's $1,000/hour lawyer doesn't know the difference between "council" and "counsel"?

No, child. Randazza is an upstanding citizen who has a deep passion for his community facilities and will be consulting with the local council soon. Enjoy.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Seriously, what is going on here? I thought Randazza was supposed to be a good lawyer, or at least an effective one. Nick should have fired him ages ago if this is what a grand an hour gets you.

It's funny (and weird) how in more naive times everyone laughed at a certain case where people were hiring SUPERLAWYERS (TM) that turned out to be incompetent wastes of money, but Nick's super-duper-lawyer is even more so.

It’s probably because, per his email signature, he had Siri write the email for him. Randazza couldn’t be bothered to type a response with his fingers. I would be surprised if he looked it over at all before he sent it.

 

[and six goriilion others]

So Randazza's argument for not showing up is that he thought the filing meant the hearing was off calendar. Reading minn. stat 554.10 it does seem to say all proceedings are stayed, including pending hearings. I don't think the no-show argument is the strongest. How I'm reading it I guess the correct course was to now schedule a new hearing specifically for this motion, and after the order on the motion continue with the scheduling conference. Which seems wildly inefficient. And I'm not sure if a scheduling conference falls under "hearings" or proceedings according that statute, or if I'm missing anything else.

In any case it still seems like a frivolous motion from Randazza.

Maybe he has a special pricing tier for clients like Nick where they get Siri service because Nick is an insufferable, retarded faggot.

In any event, it's fucking hilarious and awesome that Nick is paying top dollar for a lawyer who doesn't even bother to show up for hearings.
