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

[mindlessobserver]

Above and beyond MoRonica sharing one legal team, doesn’t this single joint filing raise issues about the Plaintiff’s ability to procedurally respond to such an inappropriately combined filing? Take the Stan Dahlin affidavit. That directly attacks Monica’s claims and testimony. But really has no impact on Ron. How is the non moving party supposed to parse the motion between the two distinct and legally unrelated defendants? It would seem to be placing an undue burden on the non moving party? Or am I reading too much into it? Is it possible to quash the TCPA motion on that basis alone? Which would be hilarious. Would that even be appealable as a standard TCPA would?

No this is a good point. Why are the MoRons filing together? They are not a single legal entity. I mean I can understand why they are doing it. They cant afford separate legal teams. But this could cause a procedural nightmare as things go on. Especially if the two have a falling out.

It’s not even if MoRonica have a falling out, or differing interests. It’s that the two are legally distinct and separate actors, who play different parts in this mess. This jumbled 500 page jointly filed mess makes it impossible for the non moving party, the plaintiff to separate the claims or arguments between the two. How are they supposed to respond to Ron’s and only Ron’s specific TCPA claims? How are they supposed to respond to just Monica’s? There is tons of shit in that TCPA filing that has fuck all to do with Ron or his case. Why is the non moving party being forced to deal with this?

MoRonica May choose to waive the conflict and use a single lawyer. But the Plaintiff still has the expectation that they be treated as wholly separate parties. Especially for something as obviously divergent as a motion to dismiss. MoRonica May choose to waive their attorney’s conflict. But that does not mean they can impose that conflict on other parties.

Not going to work even if they are stupid enough to try. They are not legally married and common law marriage (or informal marriage) in Texas has a "holding out" requirement meaning that the parties have to represent themselves to the community as married. Which they don't, they are clearly on record as only engaged.

Also, I'm going to try to take off work to attend the hearing. I'm very interesting in seeing how this all plays out in real time.

It’s because they’re broke, and they reeeeeeally want Vic to be a public figure. The 500 pages were privileged defamation and pleading that they shouldn’t be held accountable because Vic is lible proof and a public figure.

I feel like once that’s put out as hogwash we’ll start to see them being torn apart. We’ll have to see what Ty files and if he questions it in his answer though.

The reason Ty has not fully addressed it on nicks show is because it’s probably funnier to watch them squirm not knowing what he’ll do and it’s funnier to make them waste their money on billable hours that could have been avoided because they like to play games.

I think the fact that MoRon's hearing and Funimation's TCPA hearing is at the same time means something big is going to happen, it's going to be great. Is there anything else big dropping before the 8th or is it just going to be a slow drip for awhile?

Vic's response to the TCPA motions will likely be filed before the 8th, no idea when though. Also Marchi's TCPA motion needs to get scheduled (odds are for the same time slot anyhow, but you never know).

 

[Garm]

I not a lawyer and this is pure speculation from watching the streams but both ty and Nick have said the 1st step in these cases is to overcome TCPA and then settlement typically occurs.

Strategically once TCPA is overcome for Funimation, Moron, and Marchi they will no longer have incentive to back each other. Once this becomes a "real" lawsuit Sony is most likely to get involved and shitcan whoever is responsible for opening them up to a million dollars of liability. No longer having work prospects at Funi, moron and marchi will most likely fold and play ball.

This is where toye and Monica having separate council really matters. Until then, both of them have sufficient motive to back funi.

Maybe Monica will turn over evidence for round 2?

Also they should go on Nick's show to recant their statements since he will be pitiless.

Nope. The 8th is the big day for everyone. But let's not think this is endgame. We are nowhere near a trial yet

Agreed. It's basically the first battle of a war. Everything so far has just been the prep stage.

No. It just means it is efficient use of the Judges time. Almost certain Marchi’s will be blocked in there or the following day as well.

Marriage wouldn't resolve the conflict of interest and/or the undue burden issue anyway. All marriage would do is allow them to invoke privilege in respect of their conversations with each other.

Maybe. I know Chupp is supposed to be no bullshit but I've never heard of any court ever being efficient.

The South would have won the civil war if the pushed after Bull Run, dont see Ty making the same mistake.

Not retroactively.

Honestly what are chances Judge Chupp goes for Casey and Lemongrabs favor. Is he that gullible, has he his reasons to doubt Ty and Vic. Also don't know about the Law but what does Vic supposedly being a Public Figure prove? There's obvious proof getting out of the industry was planned inside job.

Holy shit I've never seen such a strong case of Dunning-Kruger.

It seems unlikely that Chupp will take Casey and the Fuhrer's side but he still has to stay neutral and go through the procedures. I imagine he'll seem very impartial, at least for the first few hearings and court appearances.

Some judges have a tendency to overcompensate - if one side has the stronger facts/arguments, the judge is harsher on them before ultimately ruling in their favor, in order to (inter alia) make appeal more difficult.

There's a decent chance the judge will look biased against Vic, before dropping an absolute bomb against KV.

Their “evidence” was already due. It was a bunch of REEEEEE make Vic a public figure REEEE here’s more conspiracy and defamation.

They can’t get married now to save them they weren’t married or even trying to represent themselves as married when this happened.

I’m sure he thought every opposing counsel that beat him to a bloody pulp at both appellate level and judicial level were also incompetent.
He’s an expert at losing First Amendment cases that’s for sure.

My point was that even if they'd been married for 5 years, it still wouldn't resolve the conflict of interest issue or the undue burden issue.

They are, in fact, trying to argue that privilege applies in this case as a way of explaining why Ron knew about the Funi investigation without being Funi's agent.

There are a number of problems with that argument which go beyond how common law marriage is codified in Texas, not the least of which is that spousal privilege (or its equivalent) is limited to communications which were intended only for the spouse. Ron making his knowledge of the Funi investigation public may well have negated any argument for privilege.

I am not a lawyer and its obvious even to me what a stupid idiot the douche is. This is pre trial. Meaning "before trial". This where all the parties get their ducks in a row. Determine just what the actual dispute is, determine that the dispute is in fact something that violates law, and then arrange a presentation for the actual trial where the matter will be deliberated and decided.

What these morons are trying to argue are facts of dispute to be determined "AT TRIAL". But this is not trial. All the plaintiff needs to prove is there is a valid dispute. Which in this case is ridiculously easy. Ty does not need to prove Vic was defamed right now. He needs to prove that there is a valid claim he was defamed.
