[Ivan Shatov]

No deal in mediation, according to Rekieta.

Anything else would of been surprising, except for possibly Funi working something out.

I still stand my suspicion that Chupp is gonna chuck it all, and deal with it after the Appeals Court kicks it back to him. What's he got to lose costing all these citizens more time and money?

Something like this is probably going to be the sole impact of the mediation bullshit.

I got my own suspicions, but this is definitely one of the more likely ones. That being said, its not the worst thing he could do. The hearing was fundamentally flawed and throwing it all out would allow the plaintiff to appeal it all at once and in the long term would save money compared to going forward with the current suite and appealing the others later.

Edit:My own is that this was a test to see how the parties want to operate. Chupp will base his stuff off how they acted in mediation, and will do a bit of reworking his decision. It seems the least appealable thing he could do.

Edit to the edit: Cause my prior edit sounds... optimistic. Assuming I am right, I suspect Marchi stays out, TI is thrown back in, and he ignores all filings after deadlines. This is the most heavy handed on everyone, but no one could conclude it was prejudicial to anyone specifically. Still appealable in a few points but at least tightens up the ship.

Except Rackets is implying that not all parties were present, Marchi didn't show.

 

[Long-time Lurker]

I might as well commit to Chupp's decisions for a lark.

Anything he ruled on stays ruled on. Anything he didn't rule on moves forward.

Monica will have depended on mediation, but since she didn't settle, she stays in (and so does the MoRon conspiracy).

Most importantly, loli is ruled illegal in retaliation for the "death threats." Civil war ensues.

This is what should happen, especially the loli being made illegal part. And then Marchi and Rial should immediately be arrested for producing CP.

I mean I think thats a decent guess but realistically what Chupp says doesn't matter because the TCPA is just going to be an appellate level question.

I listened to that part of the show, and it can be interpreted as Marchi simply not showing up (which could be contempt, right?), or that she did not go into it in good faith. I'm going to assume it's the latter since it seems pretty dumb to disobey a judge when you're technically scot free.

Yah, better to err on the side of caution and assume the less damaging thing. Cause that way no egg is on our face, and if evidence of her doing the dumber thing comes out we can have a big, hefty guffaw.

Also, depends. If she gave her Attorney complete power to settle for her, I can see this not being an issue. Thoooough not sure how/if that'd work, would need to ask a LawKiwi.

Did Nick specifically say she didn't show? Chupp said all parties with final settlement authority had to show. That would include all parties. Not showing would be contempt.

There remains some question as to why Marchi would have to show once she was free and clear from his seat of his pants off the cuff bench ruling. That's what's astonishing here, Chupp by any reading has fucked up every party in every way possible. About the only thing they all likely find agreement on is Chupp is an idiot.

I presumed it was her mocking the idea of the mediation on twitter, because she's a stupid fucking cunt and doesn't have the most basic ability for opsec.

Kinda surprised her lawyer hasn't changed her twitter password.

He implied... something. It was vaguely worded and he didn't seem giddy. Could be tempered expectations due to Chupps... Chuppness. Could be a nothingburger.

Here's the relevant clip.

Most likely it's Marchi being a smug bitch, and that's it.

 

[Sheryl Nome]

Thats almost certainly in reference to her tweets

 

[Your Average Soyboy]

Here's the relevant clip.

Most likely it's Marchi being a smug bitch, and that's it.

With the way he worded it, it's pretty obvious he meant that Marchi showed with a lack of good faith rather than just not showing up at all.

We don't know what Marchi did besides be a complete cunt on twitter as usual. It's best not to assume anything. Just let the story come out as it comes out.

I got my own suspicions, but this is definitely one of the more likely ones. That being said, its not the worst thing he could do. The hearing was fundamentally flawed and throwing it all out would allow the plaintiff to appeal it all at once and in the long term would save money compared to going forward with the current suite and appealing the others later.

The problem is, once Vic appeals it, if Chupp tosses it all, It will all almost certainly come straight back to him with a nasty letter from above "Fix This!"

Does Kojicasts case even have merit?

Does Kojicasts case even have merit?

I don't know. They're also suing DailyMotion. It looks pretty patent troll-y to me but I don't know much about streaming patents.

Specifically, Marshall, Texas itself is notorious for being a venue patent trolls love.
