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

[FGO-Professor-P2PBTW]

So this is what happens when 2 intelligent sides engage in battle, nothing like what KickVic vs StandWithVic has been. The lawyering and legal maneuvering that has been shown to us in only the first round has been magnificent. I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of this legal fistfight.

MoRon's lawyer has officially pissed off Ty Beard.

 

[ProtecSpeedwagon]

Trial Subpoenas go out tomorrow morning.

 

[break these cuffs]

Nick has been given permission to say that trial subpoenas go out in the morning. Motions are being filed now. If they go up during the stream he will cover them.

"From Ty

Nothing screams I have a weak case louder than starting chickenshit discovery squabbles at the beginning of a case."

As long as Ty remembers that he promised Vic's mom things will be OK, I hope. Righteous fury is what I want to see.

MoRon's lawyer has officially pissed off Ty Beard.

I’m trying hard to figure out to what productive purpose? It was obvious he wasn’t going to be able to bully BHBH into his deposition/TCPA trap. So why keep flinging poop?

Apparently, Casey is trying to make up rules as he goes. He knows they don't exist, and that he doesn't get to determine when his clients can be deposed, and Ty thinks he may have imprudently advised his clients that somehow they won't have to be deposed at all.

He is woefully incorrect and it would have been a bad, bad idea to tell his clients that.

I wonder if anybody told Casey that his one client has quite the habit of filing bar complaints against lawyers? How much of a headache do you think bad advice or a bad strategy will become with RonRon?

This is exactly why MarzGurl may have risen in the ranks as a target for The Beard.

 

[repentance]

Well what they were trying (supposedly) was to try to get Vic's deposition, then immediately the same day file a TCPA which puts a halt on all discovery for 90 days, which gives them some much needed time to formulate a gameplan with all the information while Ty is stuck only with what he already has.

Ty ain't dumb though so he's basically forcing them to burn through their time-outs in the first quarter of the game by pushing Monica and Ron's depositions so early.

I think another reason they want to push back dates is because Funi's answer hasn't yet been filed and they don't want to be deposed before they know the extent to which Funi is going to throw them under the bus.

 

[slipstream.anomaly]

This is making me think they should possibly go ahead and file for a TRO because it's pretty evident the plan is to go full steam ahead on more defamation, and to use Vic's deposition to continue defaming him during the pendency of the TCPA motion, while refusing to provide any discovery themselves.

Everyone should just be forced to cool their jets.

You mean give us more to add to the suit?

 

[AnOminous]

There are no grounds for a TRO. What are you smoking?

What the fuck are you talking about? There's a consistent pattern of defamation, it is ongoing, and promises to continue throughout the pendency of the litigation.

They could have filed a TRO at the very outset of the litigation, and absolutely nothing has changed that would preclude doing it now.

Injunctive relief is certainly in the offing at the conclusion of the case and is referenced in the complaint.

Try to keep up.

I edited. I thought you meant Ron/Mon filling for a TRO. Vic hasn't said anything against them. I don't think Vic should do one against them because their actions are more fuel for the fire. Ty would have led with an injunction had he felt it warranted.

Hubris. Casey Erick's entire webpage just spouts off numbers and how he's some super-elite lawyer in the top 1% of the US but other than the few statistics (being a rising star + being in the million dollar club) I can't find anything he's actually done. Well, nothing except this.

I assume he didn't because of the cost of doing it and because it would stop the flow of new evidence freely given by the defendants without necessarily doing much to halt the continuing damage. I still think it may be warranted, and legally it is, but it looks like Ty has something else to go balls deep in at the moment.

I have read the details of this suit and it frankly sounds like nonsense.

Because he wants a lot of money and embodies what people see as bad about lawyers? Nick's anger was over him scamming money out of his clients fighting a supeona that Ty said was void.

 

[The Demon Pimp of Razgriz]

Why, exactly? Can he be sued by them if he is making promises he can't keep?

Lying to your clients about their potential legal recourse and intentionally (or even unintentionally) misleading them regarding the legal process is the very opposite of being their legal advocate. Not only can the client sue you for it, whether you did it on purpose or not, you can be disbarred for it, as it is inherently unethical (if done on purpose) or incompetent to the point of negligence (if done accidentally). Casey can't sit around and mislead his client, not like that.

I honestly have not been able to make much of this verbose, rambling complaint other than that this dude thinks he somehow would have made millions out of some footage of Steve Harvey, about whom literally who fucking cares? How would that have happened? And he's mad that his lawyer couldn't make a silk purse of this sow's ear and since that business arrangement never happened, he's now thinking he can somehow gouge it out of the lawyer who is now more financially successful.

So, both the client and the lawyer are both exceptional, right?

Just at a cursory glance, even if Casey etc made a bad call, I don’t see how it would have changed the outcome of the plaintiff’s case. He was largely arguing bullshit and a bad interpretation of law. In the type of situation for which Mr. Cooper was hired and contracted, the presumption is that it is a Work for Hire arrangement, unless otherwise contracted. No IP ownership or copyright would have accrued to Mr. Cooper unless it was in a contract he negotiated with Harvey. Don’t believe me? Just ask any comic book artist how well their claims have gone for the past 50 years.
