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

[Wake me up]

Moronica's lawyer is way behind the eight ball, and this delays the process to give him some extra time to catch up.

This is not going to sit well with any judge who values their time and the time of the justice system as a whole. Ron has been tweeting "come at us, we are ready for that lawsuit anytime and we have all the evidence needed to back us up right here waiting for the time to go public!" This is literally documented in several tweets saying the same thing over and over again.

How do you think a judge is going to feel that now that they've hired a lawyer, months after they should have, their defense suddenly is to stall and abuse the rules? It's not going to look pretty for them and honestly is either a rookie mistake from the defense lawyer or a desperation act.

The only reason this is not going to come back to hurt them immediately is if they end up with the most patient and level headed judge and jury. It could happen, really it could but if I was the defendant in this case, I would ask my lawyer twice if he thought this was really a good idea.

Again: not a law expert. Please correct me courthouse senpais.

I think we have the potential of this case revealing more stupidity than Mark Waid's actions

Probably sympathetic enough to the lawyer on the defense side to give them a tiny bit of breathing room and maybe have the deposition in a hotel conference room instead and maybe in a little while instead of right the fuck now.

To be fair, how many times have Kiwis said that they feel sorry for the poor guy? He has nightmare clients, their case has no legs to stand on, and there's a bulldog of a legal firm breathing down their necks.

It's only natural that they'd try to stall. I know that it seems to us like it's taking forever, because we're waiting with baited breath for every new filing to come down the pipe, but this is all still moving extremely fast as far as the legal system is concerned.

I hope nobody bothers giving them that luxury. No matter how quickly this takes, it's nothing compared to the few days it took to nearly completely wreck Vic's reputation.

Dawg, 400 defamatory tweets. 100+ sexual assault victims.

The only way Waid could have been dumber was if he had tortoisely interfered with Antarctic Press at literal gunpoint, in crowded room, in front of a security camera, while doing an audio log of himself.

This is not going to sit well with any judge who values their time and the time of the justice system as a whole.

I mean the whole legal system is basically built around strategies of trying to make things take as long (and thus cost as much) as possible, so I figure this is just par for the course.

Oh and let's not forget his idiot client filed a formal and fraudulent bar complaint against the opposing council for no apparent reason, and before any paperwork in any lawsuit had been filed. Yeah that sort of thing strips away quite a bit of sympathy on the part of the neutral observers.

That will only last until Mr/Ms Toye files a Bar complaint or reports the judge to the State Comission on Judicial Misconduct. You just know it's gonna happen. He wont be able to help himself.

Wow, reading Ronica's lawyer response is as dumbfounding as reading Roy's tweets. I'm not by any means a law expert but I think a judge will be very hostile to the notions of:

1. 10 pages of copy-pasted "REEEE this mean lawyer wants too much information, none of it is relevant to the case or easy to produce!"
2. The very notion that any of the requested information is not relevant to the case, easy to produce or asking too much from the defense.
3. A blatant attempt to refuse any discovery at all. Like, literally nothing. Not a single thing!
4. The defense that producing discovery would infringe upon the "personal rights" of Ronica's. What about Vic's rights not to be called a rapist without a single shred of evidence to support it? What about Vic's right to enjoy the career he worked his entire life to build? Any rights Ronica may have had were freely discarded when they infringed upon Vic's rights as a citizen to live free of defamation.

Honestly, I doubt any judge of law, in any state, would be able to read this response with a straight face and not feel insulted that he went through 10+ years of education to read something like this from a supposed serious lawyer.

I don't want to read into Ronica's legal strategy too much because I know nothing about law but this seems like a desperation act at best. I can imagine their lawyer saying to Ron: "dude, we have absolutely no chance of winning this, our best bet is to kick and scream all the way through and hope that the jury thinks we are the ones being harmed, if we manage to be loud enough and call the other side meanies enough times throughout". It's a bold strategy, to say the least, and it's basically the same thing Ron does on Twitter. It may be their only recourse now.

From us looking at this from an extra-legal perspective though, this is pretty much an admission that they have nothing to show for themselves, despite their repeated claims that "the truth is soon to come out". And so the castle on the clouds starts to crumble...

In a nutsheel, this seems to me like Ty saying "you're monsters" and the defense saying "woah calm down, this is way uncalled for". Am I right?

He's making the most of a bad hand. He has to know if Ty gets his hands on Monica and Soyes twitter DMs and Emails its game over. Even the most competent attorney will come off as grasping at straws when your idiot clients have left you with nothing else to grasp at.

To be fair all Ty has to do it prove that Ron is a danger by showing he's willing to write a fraudulent bar report, and promote others to wright one to make the judge never trust him. I mean what judge would trust someone who's willing to wright up a complaint just because they do not agree with the persons statement. I doubt any would tbh.

Besides that, the fact Ron was speaking for every party that was involved, he has become the agent of all party's for his claims of 'we are ready for court,' thus Ty could use it for basically everyone he is going to sue in order to force them into deposition even if they file 193.3 or w/e this lawyer is doing.

The question I'm curious about it more simple really, what if the email, or message, or w/e had the eye witness state they don't want others to know about said story and Ron/everyone else agreed. Would this classify it as 'privileged' information. They could (assuming it is privilege) claim that indirectly stating it doesn't constitute as breaking said privilege.
I doubt it would work considering how a NDA works but was just curious if anyone knew if it COULD work out like that.

The thing that really gets me is outside of 1 email it appears like there's been very little back and forth between BHBH and MoRon's lawyer, did they even ask BHBH about moving the venue for the depositon? From what I've had a chance to look at it appears they only take issue with how much material MoRon are supposed to supply at said deposition.

I'm a legal brainlet and I'm not from the land of rooty tooty point and shooty so I know nothing of the legal process, so it would be great if some one could explain what they're talking about when they refer to the email they sent and what BHBH did in response.

Think it's referring to deposition and the interrogator.
They apparently added more after the first filing and MoRon's lawyer got the increased filing's removed but not the deposition so they are trying to file their 193.3 and w/e else to get out of the increased filings.

The fucking balls to essentially say 'nah, just google it. all the evidence is out there' to a discovery request. Didn't think the firm of twit & er was running the case.

My spider sense says we are going to come up if they keep belabouring this point.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

I understand that the lawyer needs to do what his client requests, but there has to be some clause that says that lawyers are allowed to take matters into their own hands when their clients are fucking exceptional.

There generally isn’t unless the client specifies as such, and attorneys aren’t always going to take that liabilty.

That's not what Ty is going for. Ty is going full steam ahead and bringing the Pain Train on time.

It's just boilerplate bullshit.

Absolutely nobody else can give any testimony as to what Ron Soye knew at the time he was saying Vic had been raping literally "1000s" of people for "over 20 years."

Nobody but Ron knows what was in his tiny little mind at that time or what evidence he had of this bullshit that he said.

I thought the dude they hired was an award winning lawyer? Telling the plaintiff's counsel "nah, go find it yourself" seems mindblowingly bush league to me as a layman. Do you think he's just going along with whatever those tards are telling him to do, even if it's a horrible play to make?

 

[DumbestPersoninthUniverse]

So, from the few things I've seen about protective orders in Texas, I can only deduce that Ron and Monica think:

a. They are under the age of 18. Desperate dreams of not being fat and old.
b. Ty Beard keeps arriving at their doorstep in full biker gear with a belt, ready to spank them hard while Vic videotapes it.
c. They are the heroes of the story, thus the plaintiff in this case.

Aside from that one Texas Bar document, the most I found for protective orders involve domestic abuse. I'm sorry, MoRon, but Ty
isn't your daddy... yet.

 

[Kosher Dill]

OK, um, let's see. How much does it cost to buy a scroll of magic circle against law? Uh-huh... uh-huh... OK, how high do I have to roll on my Profession (Mortgage Broker) check to make that much?

He's just playing the cards he's allowed to play to delay things and try to limit the scope of discovery. He's kind of obliged to go through the motions even if the chances of success are small.
