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

The judge isn't that slick. He's just ignorant.



This line comes from Lemoine. It was probably in one of his binders or letters to the judge.

It's time for her to put her money where her horse teeth are.

If she wants the community to heal, she's got the chance to in settlement. I think this is Chupp calling her bluff, if it was indeed taken from her comments

If Chupp was into calling their bluff he'd see that tweet from Ron about taking Vic to court.

Otherwise Chupp is just trolling Monica.

keeping in line with how garbage every aspect of this case has been so far, here's my prediction on the jury they'll get at trial:

Alt theory: Chupp is buying into MoRonica's narrative. "We just want things to HEAL. There'a divide, and it's VIC'S FAULT. He just had to GO AWAY for a FEW YEARS and we would have TOTALLY let him come back!"

It's a catch-22 situation.

If Monica refuses to settle, then she's ignoring her own narrative. It's now in her best interest to settle, for the heals. Put up or shut up horseteeth
 
He technically does have until October 6th. He has 30 days from the hearing, and 30 days from the hearing would be October 6th. That's a Sunday so as a practical matter he needs to rule by Friday, October 4th. Hence him ordering to have mediation sorted out one way or another by October 3rd so he can rule on the 4th.

If a deadline would otherwise be on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the deadline is the first day thereafter which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. TRCP 4.

I would assume the worst. This isn't some clever scheme to uncover the heart of the defendants or expose them leaking information to the Dallas Morning News. Ty has been given some rope and is expected to hang himself in mediation. If he doesn't, the judge is going to bring the hammer down and he'll cite the plaintiff's failure to exit this lawsuit with style and grace as the reason why he was so harsh.

That's how this ends.
 
I usually am doubtful of documents till they're verified by Nick or come straight from here, but is this document real? Like for real? Cause the idea of some judge talking about the "anime community healing" is such unbelievably cringy shit. Is this a fucking prank?

If it isn't real Greg could be facing jail time.
But it wouldn't surprise me if he tampered with it either

That's how it begins. It's not like it wasn't going to appeals anyway.

If he was going to fabricate that, it wouldn't have been something like that. And honestly, Chupp sending this to mediation to "heal the community" actually fits very well with the weirdness of an abrupt call for mediation in the middle of a TCPA ruling.

I think Chupp entered this with a very different idea of what it was, believed the defendant's kool-aid tasted better early on and then got slapped with reality when he saw the tweets and emails, that there may actually be more to this than what he originally gave credence to.

Finally him lamenting the appellate court, and realizing that he's probably going to get railed in appeals if this doesn't settle resigned him a bit. I read a bit of defeat in that portion of it, like he knows he fucked up.

I wish I could be that optimistic. I think he's going to go for a full dismissal and put Vic on the hook for paying for everyone. That's the impression I got. I don't think he's quite let go of the defense yet.

But at the same time he's a wild card. I can only speculate. But I'm not hopeful.

I just hope I'm wrong.

Given that he is using Monica's flowery, faggoty language verbatim I think that he finds the kool-aid super tasty. Chubbs has lapped up the defense's cummies like a cheap whore. Chubbs is pathetic, either he legitimately thinks some tweets (but not Marchi's) are real threats or he's using that as an excuse to hide his ineptitude.

What is the worst that can happen to Chupp for screwing up and sending this to appeals?

The biggest thing off the top of my head being if he had any ambition to move up to the appeals court, I doubt he would want too many "you fucked this case royally" decisions on his resume.

Getting investigated by The State Commission on Judicial Conduct. Worst would probably be a very stern finger waggling on how not to bungle up a damn civil case involving TCPA...

If that was the case, he would have just dismissed all of it during the original hearing and been done with it. No sense in wasting time mulling over the rest

There's an election coming up and he's going to have to run for his position again. It'd be a heavy burden if the news is reporting on not just 1 massive loss in the supreme court for him, but another high-profile, heavily reported case getting appealed and him getting smacked around.

It'd encourage others to step up and challenge his seat.

Isn't him dismissing everything what Vic would want sort of?

Absolutely. Quicker to appeal, less money wasted

At this point, it isn't one the the WORST scenarios case wise. The sticking point would be that while things are being appealed he'd need to put up the defendants attorneys fees for bond. In terms of the case itself, it'd allow a less biased body to view the case, though ty's filings leave something to be desired there.

I see this as an absolute win. Either the judge is plotting to use this as an excuse to undo the hearing, an excuse to not file anything so it can't be appealed, or he's a total moron who's been completely biased and means that appealing will go much more smoothly - to the point that they might just replace the judge wholesale.

Frankly, it's so much better that Chupp is a moronic spaz afraid for his life from random mean emails and thinks 'THE ANIME COMMUNITY SHOULD HEAL' instead of 'I NEED TO FOLLOW THE LAW', because if he were a reasonable and competent judge making normal decisions that made sense, appealing things would be much harder and less likely for Vic. And even before Chupp's crazy reared up its head, there was always the possibility some of the charges would be dismissed.
