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

I'm sort of biased towards Ty, I like him and he's been doing well throughout in terms of filings/hearings plus he seems like a genuinely nice guy.
However, this notary thing is a fuck up (as far as my understanding goes) the question is how severe a fuck up judge Chupp will see it and until he rules on it on Friday pretty much any argument is kinda pointless. The people screaming fraud kind of annoy me, yes it could be perceived as such but it could also be perceived as a genuine mistake, at this point both statements are pretty much equally valid and could probably be argued over until the moon falls out of the fucking sky and we'd never get it cracked. At this point we gotta refer to the judge, he's gonna have the final say and that's gonna dictate how this case proceeds, stating the obvious, I know but that's the rub.
Saying that, i suppose i can still offer an opinion so here's my pointless take.
Judge Chupp is a straight shooter with little tolerance for bullshit, we've already seen that in previous hearings and it seems he's by the book so i think he'll give Ty some shit over this, he doesn't seem the type to let it just slide if there's even a chance of impropriety so yeah he'll give Ty a talking to, but as for some sort of major punishment in terms of Ty's practice or business no i don't see it, Chupp doesn't look like a fire and brimstone kind of bloke so I don't think he'll hit Ty too hard in that respect. As for the case, hmmmm, it might give Ty some headaches (in fact I'm sure it already is) but i also don't think it'll be fatal, mostly for the same reason that and the fact Ty has done what he can to correct his fuck up.
Anyway that's my thoughts beyond that I really don't wanna push my luck lol.

There's no point in arguing anymore right now. I myself considered all the possibilities. But you, in this case, missed one. Everything can still be fine there.
"The affidavits were mistakenly submitted with defects in form."
It can still mean what Nick said right away. That Ty wasn't supposed to certify the affidavit in the case where he is legally counseling.
The "defect in form" may be that he should have applied unsworn declaration from the start.
 
They weren't blank, they had underlines. There's no way that compression generates additional characters like that.
Also, you don't pencil in footnotes. You find the blanks and replace them in your source document.

Different compression algorithms can act very strange and PDFs are a hellscape sometimes so it is absolutely within the realm of feasible that some end-user triggered compression could have played poorly with the source (like if the PDF was created in a different program or with a different encoding).

At this point, I think the only thing we can safely assume is that the hearing on Friday will be even more contentious than before, now that defendants' counsels have accused the prosecution's counsel of a potentially criminal act.

I hope the Judge has stocked up on booze for the night after.

Yeah, i did forget about that I guess with the fuss being made into it all I'm looking extra hard at shit and it's making my brain work overtime.
As to the date of the denial of the motion to strike, am I right in remembering that Ty actually filed twice? Iirc he filed a motion and then submitted an amended/different one.....?
Does anyone else remember how all that went? Is it possible one was struck because it was essentially irrelevant?
I'm super foggy on the details so if anyone else has anything to clear that up I've looked at the filings i have saved but can't find anything, but I don't have all of the paperwork.
 
This motion will be for trying to strike the affidavits of Denbow, Barretto and Mika.

Makes sense to allow them, as it is in their capacity to say what they did.

I don’t think this is as big an L as Low T is making it out to be.
 
Meanwhile, T. Greg dropped that Judge Chupp already denied one of plaintiffs motions.
I don't know if it's true or not.

Motion to Strike. I posted it here for you.

Good. Hope it looks like the Royal Rumble.

I think some of us might have gotten too attached to this matter. What is important here is the LOLz. Not if one side wins or loses because today's hero could become tomorrow's cow. To that end it would be fabulous if Friday is a complete, unmitigated shit show.

I don't have a file. This motion got a strike:

Edit:
О! Here's the file! A couple of posts higher.

In particular, it is the motions to strike the affidavits that Funi later had rewritten if i remember correctly.

Only if the supplement is allowed. And in my opinion, the probability that it won't be has just greatly increased.
T.Greg is in a hurry to celebrate as always.

Oh yes, possibly. If he strikes the second lot for being untimely it will leave Funi with these worse versions.

Edit: or possibly none at all as the second lot replaced these and the second lot get striked, although I'm not a law and might be a bit too optimistic
 
And honestly, Ty's work lately has been less than expected. Regardless, it does look like he laid out a solid case, but there was a lot of unprofessional mistakes and what looks like rushed work when BHBH had more than enough time to complete their work. As any college student will tell you, you don't submit an assignment at the last minute to account for submission mistakes. Don't take the chance, and it appears BHBH is playing a little too loose with their branding and professional reputation for my taste.

You're not wrong about this.

Sam Johnson confirmed to be reading the farms and getting legal tips.

Sam has been by far the most competent of the defense attorneys.
 
Whywouldnt they thou? If it goes south Chupp will take it out on J Sean, not them. It's basically a free shot attempt at Ty for the other defense attorneys.

Unless I completely misunderstand how this process works, they don't need to all sign off on it. They could let him file it solo and reap the benefits if he wins, all without looking exceptional if it loses.
 
It's possible that Judge Chupp won't strike anything at all. And he will simply evaluate the main stages, as they are laid out by BHBH.
Again, it's too early for KickVic to celebrate, because I don't know in which universe their affidavits will stand, and the plaintiff's affidavits will be striken. And if they don't, their chances suck.
If Judge Chupp struck everything both for the plaintiff and for the defendants, then the defendants could breathe more freely and maybe open a small bottle of champagne.
 
July 24th 2019?

It's obviously cropped. I wonder why. It can't be much more than a page or so.

I don’t think this is as big an L as Low T is making it out to be.

It's not a big loss even if every bit of the motions to strike is denied. If the judge thinks the objections go to weight and not admissibility he'll just let them in. It doesn't mean he'll actually treat them as credible.

Looks like nick is going to talk some FRAUD tonight, so we'll get some answers, maybe, hopefully, if we're good boys and girls

Accusations like this are heavy and need heavy proof.

If they're true, Ty could be in big trouble.

If they made accusations like this and don't have heavy proof, though, they're the ones in trouble.
 
So, I've got something to add to this discussion.
Ty contacted me via email on 7/27 providing me with Faisal's affadavit and requesting "Could you read it and correct the untrue parts?" and giving me some info about getting things notarized in Japan. He then went on to state "My understanding is that you have to call for an appointment and time is short for us." about getting an item notarized in Japan.

I responded 7/28 with his requested info.
I received no response from him, which I'd expected to come quite quickly given his comment about time being short for them.
I reached out to him again on 8/2.

He responded on 8/3 stating "...I’ll send you a proposal next week. "

I heard nothing from him. I reached out to him AGAIN on 8/20.
Again, I received no reply until 8/28 when he wrote me and said "Will be sending the email in a few minutes. We don’t have to have a notary; I’ll use a different procedure.... Oh and please get it back to us ASAP if you can. Originally, I wasn’t going to use your affidavit in the upcoming hearings. But I changed my mind after watching the livestream. Thanks again for your help."
Now, I complied the same day, 8/28 and provided the requested information.

I then spoke to Vic on 8/29, and during our conversation this came out ...Screenshot_2019-09-04-10-33-26.png

So... Take that for what you will.

Edit for Clarification:
On 8/3 Ty confirmed receiving my email.
On 8/29 Vic and I had the conversation where he said Ty told him he never received my email.
