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

My hot take from the new filing:
...it is necessary to protect Defendant from undue burden, unnessessary expense, harassment, annoyance, and/or invasion of personal, constitutional, or property rights.
Click to expand...
No. Full stop. You don't get to spend 10 years calling someone a pedo/rapist/criminal and then suddenly worry about "undue burdens." Literally every reason given here is Vic's cause to seek remedy.

Talk shit, get hit. I really hope (and frankly expect) the Hon. Judge sees this for what it is.

Because you go to war with the army you have. Not the army you wish you had.

And if these filings are any indication: war were declared.

I'm pretty sure the Judge is going to see the communication between Ty and Casey and will see that Ty has been exceedingly willing to negotiate times and has been patient in his requests and has been met with nothing but a brick wall. "No you can't depose my clients first. Vic's Deposition -must- be on the 30th or as close to that date as possible." and so on and will quickly get the picture at what Casey is trying to do.

All the relevant documents have been included in their entirety, too, so when Casey pulls that cute "why are you hitting yourself" bullshit the judge is going to be able to read it. Treating the judge like he is a fool is never a great move, so I want to see what kind of arguments come out of his pie hole.

If Ron and Monica's lawyer filed a TCPA motion, would Marchi and FUNimation have to sit on their hands for 90 days as well or could they move forward with their own depositions and discovery requests?
Click to expand...

Maybe. I'd say probably. I don't think it's automatic, but I don't think it would be practical to go ahead with discovery with such a motion pending on matters shared between all defendants. I'm pretty sure Funimation is going to file its own TCPA motion anyway. I don't know what Marchi will do since she is the only defendant who is neither an obvious idiot nor a complete blabbermouth. I'd assume she joins in on the fun, too, though.

I just posted this in MoRons thread, but it should probably be posted here too. This is Monica's busy schedule, note her next convention is in Texas. But what i really want to hear is the argument of why Soye can't be deposed during the month.

"My client will not be available on the 15th"
Monica confirmed in texas and has no cons to visit between the 12 and 23. Even if you give a day buffer to get to and from the con there's still a solid week before her next convention appearance. And if Ron has the free time to binge watch entire seasons of a show (Lucifer) in a day or two then I'd say he's got more than enough availability.

Of course Monica could always cancel -another- con. After all, it wouldn't be the first time.

I'd say tough shit and push for one of these since canceling cons is no big deal for Monica. It's nothing she hasn't done before, for no reason or for a completely illegal reason.

Guests usually fly in the day before their con appearance (ie Thursday if they start on Friday) and usually leave early the following Monday, unless they stay with friends or whatever. Sometimes they'll also fly back home on the night of the last day of their appearance.
That gives Monica a week and a half to be deposed before heading to Atlanta.
But watch them be "busy" and make up excuses until after her Indy con.

I'm sure Monica and Soyboy are gonna be super extra busy during that week and a half. :) :) :) (Oh god why did I give myself that mental image)

Did some further digging into Deposition rules and so on, am I correct in assuming that at this point in time given all the evidence provided by ty, that when papers are filed tomorrow and things get put before a judge, Casey Erick is basically put on the spot and needs to come up with a pretty damn good reason as to why he's been evading the deposition dates? Like at this point Ty doesn't even have to prove anything further and basically from here Casey has to explain why for the last 2 weeks he's refused to provide dates for his clients, and why he refuses to accept any of the proposed dates or windows as far as I can tell, and "I don't want to" isn't going to cut it either.

We have no earthly idea what the judge will do. He COULD declare the independant trapnostate of Austonia. But use your common sense, I guess, and temper your expectations.

Would it be reasonable to expect nothing much to come from the hearings, except that Casey will probably have to file the TCPA without depositions from either party?
I think Vic really needs a TRO against MoRon, because those malicious fucks won't stop until they're forced to.

One thing that stands out to me is how Casey's documents so far have been a bunch of 10-pages-worth of copy-pasted legalese while Ty's latest letter is written in plain, clear english. Even when compared, the initial documents by BHBH are much more straightforward to read.

Although I understand that there is a lot of legalese involved in a lawsuit (no shit, really? wow ) I know which of the two I would enjoy reading more as a judge - not to mention which of the two screams "I'm trying to obscure my abuse of the system in cold jargon and unclear draconic paragraphs on 2 sets of 20-page each". Hint: it's not that one letter that was written so plainly a middle schooler could read easily. In fact, I think Ty's decision to respond in a more-or-less informal letter is entirely tactical (deliberate or not) to put himself in contrast with Casey's antics.

I think the letter that was sent from Casey to Ty was not archived, or at least Ty says as much in his reponse. In the same way you're saying "everything being archived gives the judge a clear understanding of what's going on", the fact that this one letter that required a pretty severe rebuttal and schooling on basic principles of law (ie: the right to deposition) not being made available is definitely going to raise some flags.

I think this goes beyond Landau... Media attention to the case because of the attorneys fuck ups and a case against them. Last I recall, apart from our and Masterson's part of the internet, no one knows who Landau is, and he's not had proceedings brought against him.

We may be in for a fucking roller coaster ride of autism and bad pleadings from Casey.

What stuck out to me is the complete lack of explanations, or citations. He says that the requests are overbroad and not reasonably limited in scope, but doesn't explain in what way. He says the request covers information that is priveleged, but doesn't explain what's privileged, or why. He says the information can be gotten by Ty from more convenient sources, but doesn't explain why (sidenote; anyone wonder if he means the Farms here since we've archived basically everything at this point?). He tells the judge he can issue a protective order to protect them from annoyance, harassment, invasion of rights etc but doesn't explain how/why his client is facing any of those. Last time I checked judges don't generally need to be told that they can do something, but why they should do something.

Honestly I don't see this ending well for Casey. He's pissed off Ty with his BS, and now he's probably gonna piss the judge off by forcing him to deal with a bunch of motions over something that counsel should have been able to sort amongst themselves.
