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

[Friend computer]

Immediately A 2 is bullshit unless Lemonfuhrer means they planned to engage in only receiving Vic’s discovery he should fucking realize there’s still a pending motion to compel BECAUSE these fuckwits played discovery games and still haven’t provided jack shit of what was requested in their interrogatories.

Is this guy an idiot or does he think Chupp is a playful little puppet? “In the legion of decision over 370 not one has ever determined that a movant cannot amend or supplement a timely filed motion to dismiss”

That would be because not one had had a supplementary challenge and I can bet all of those 370 have never attempted supplement past the deadlines in the first place.


What a panicked little shit, trying to fuck up the courts time and dockets with unnecessary research.

You’re gonna get dunked on Lemonfuhrer, you better hope your clients can afford that appeal and that conflict of interest doesn’t result in you getting paid ZERO and face disbarment.


The little shit is actually trying to retroactively apply the changes made earlier this year to the TCPA... this guy is a fucking clown.

Yeah, Ty has warned several time to not play games in this court, and especially with this judge after he had asked around...
This will bite them in the ass... hard...

 

[Iron Hamster]

Mein Kough could be an expert at this point considering most people learn from their mistakes and failing every TCPA you've done is quite a lot of them.

He’s so much of an expert that he has failed to convince a Judge in every case he’s brought. I mean I know failure is educational and all, but I don’t think I really want to be paying somebody to learn in that way.

But he has a blog!!!!111!!!

I wonder who will do the biting? Will it be Ron "The Sheepdog" Toye?

 

[Laundui_or_douchette?]

Why are they still harping on the twins story so much?

View attachment 912782

Also, Lemon Fuhrer, Vic did say that they were in the hotel room and that he asked for sex. Unbelievable that this shit is actually being considered an offense. And is Vic even suing for what the twins said about him, or for what Monica said?

View attachment 912792

Vic didn’t even deny the twins were in his room. They both agreed that they went to his room, vic asked “want to get down” they went “no” he went “cool, get out”

Funimations response to motion to strike

Funimations response to motion to strike

In the same vein as their claim FUNimation and MoRonica were given extensions for their own TCPA filings. So if they didn't do any actual work prior to filing them, how is it fair for them to wait until the last day to file, only to supplement after the fact? Ty has a point: what's the point of a deadline if you can do the bare minimum, and then continue to add up to the day of the hearing?

He filed this what, 26 hours before Ty's deadline for his own TCPA paperwork?

This is an attempt to make BHBH have to scramble to respond to stupid bullshit at the last minute. Again. Seems to be his strategy -- wait till the last possible second then say some outrageously stupid bullshit, hoping it doesn't get opposed.

 

[Francis York Morgan]

It feels like every new filing from J. Dolf is tinged with the feeling that he knows he and his clients are fucked.

Especially as Funi entered into a rule 11 to extend the TCPA deadline to get all the info together and are still trying to add to it like a kid late for their homework.

He's an idiot. Maybe there's never been a decision that you can't rob a pet store with a katana while playing a kazoo too but that doesn't mean you can do it.

Maybe there's never been such a decision because nobody has ever tried something as astoundingly stupid before?

Ty's motion incidentally just cites the ACTUAL RULE which sets a hard deadline for TCPA filings. What Lemoine has done is filed a Motion of Bazinga that he automatically wins the case because BAZINGA! And then when Ty points out there's no rule saying there's such a thing called a Motion of Bazinga, he points out there's no TCPA ruling out there saying there's no such thing as a Motion of Bazinga.

If what Lemonhead is trying to do was allowed, you could just ignore any deadline by filing a piece of paper CALLED whatever you're supposed to file by the deadline, with nothing else on it, wait until the day of the hearing and then "supplement" with your actual motion.

 

[NotaLolyer]

Again the argument is timely manner... then they proceed to file on the last day Ty has. They already know that’s not allowed.

Then Funimation says hey give us leave to supplement.... what!? You didn’t want to extend the hearing dates now you want to extend to supplement. What in fucks name makes these idiots think they have the win here? They know they’re fucked tomorrow.

Seeing this filing from Funi, don’t expect settlement talks after their TCPAs are lost. They definitely want to expend as much money as they can to delay justice.

Lemonfuhrer said this was going to go 8 more months... yep until the court says fuck You TCPA denied motion to compel granted.

This is as exceptional as it gets.

Seems to be a reoccurring theme here.

What’s the point of having contracts if people and companies can easily break them with no repercussions?

Especially as Funi entered into a rule 11 to extend the TCPA deadline to get all the info together and are still trying to add to it like a kid late for their homework.

Almost like Funimation is an incompetent company if they can’t get their shit together. How does it take this long to do that?

No wonder they didn’t clarify their harassment tweet. They’re that incompetent.

 

[MrRavellon]

Funimation, the same as Mr Jadolf, does not argue against Ty's argument for why their supplements must be stricken and try to, same as Mr Jadolf, argue that because it was never ruled that it is not allowed to supplement after deadline it must be allowed. Not mentioning that it was never ruled that it is allowed either.

Also, they contradict themselves, sort of, by first saying that it is entirely on the Plaintiff to provide clear and specific evidence for the case and then saying that it is illogical to allow Plaintiff make his argument after Defendants are barred from supplementing further their defense.
It is completely logical to do so because if this was a meritless lawsuit the Defendants would've been able to make their full argument on the outset and had no need for supplementation.

This does not look like a strong argument, but Volney's drafting looks much better than Mr Jadolf's (not that this is saying much, Mr Jadolf's drafting is atrocious)

I fully expect Chupp to throw both of those motions out. They seem like they would make Chupp's life much harder if he were to approve them.

 

[AnOminous]

I fully expect Chupp to throw both of those motions out. They seem like they would make Chupp's life much harder if he were to approve them.

I think much of the hearing is going to focus on the motions to strike. Chupp asked for an extremely detailed list of everything in all of the evidentiary filings, mainly affidavits, matrixed with the arguments for striking them, and a checklist style form for deciding whether or not to strike them.

There's no reason for him to request creating such a time consuming thing if he thinks all that crap is admissible.

I don't expect much on the defamation per se claims other than strict legal argument, though, because once Vic provided his prima facie evidence of falsehood of the defamatory statements, there is no affirmative defense of truth. If the jury believes his sworn statement that the events didn't happen, they didn't happen. So all of the defense's arguments on that point are irrelevant to anything, and since they're irrelevant, so are the exhibits supporting them.

The plaintiff has already met that burden. van der Linden v. Khan is very clear about that at least as it relates to Rial. Marchi's is a little trickier and I wouldn't rule out that TCPA quite yet.

The conspiracy claims remain the most problematic to me but we'll get some idea what Chupp thinks about that at the hearing.

this is the same little shite who tried to sneak in a motion to depose Rekieta and tried to convince Ty not to file an opposition.

Same little shit that filed a LETTER instead of a motion to sneak shit in.

Lemoine's an underhanded, sneaky little slimy, snotty, smelly TURD.

Don't ask me how I REALLY feel.

 

[MrRavellon]

There is no jury involved. Only the judge. Jury is on trial. This is pre-trial.

 

[AStupidMonkey]

Anybody else get the feeling these lawyers have other clients who actually pay their bills on-time? I'm getting a strong stench of "Oh. Whoops. Guess we spaced on that one. Lemme get my crayons..."

 

[TheClappening]

There is no jury involved. Only the judge. Jury is on trial. This is pre-trial.

TCPA takes all evidence and rules it in favor of the client. What I think @AnOminous is getting at is that if a hypothetical jury believed Vic's evidence over the defendants' (which is how the TCPA works) the extra evidence is dead in the water.

A "prima facie case" is one where, if a reasonable jury could believe the evidence of the nonmoving party, the dispositive motion fails. Vic says none of this shit happened. That's all he has to do.

 

[Spectre_06]

It feels like every new filing from J. Dolf is tinged with the feeling that he knows he and his clients are fucked.

I think they're aware that they're in trouble. Anyone who loses their TCPA has to think there is a valid case against them, which is why they're doing what they can to prejudice the court itself against Vic. Jdolf, in particular--being a TCPA expert--has to realize the precarious position he's in: if he loses to Ty, it's likely he's not being paid at all, and as a TCPA expert he lost to a "novice". It's an ego thing at this point.
