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

[NotaLolyer]

Lol this says one thing to me, our initial impressions about how MoRonica were paying them were true, 5k each retainer and so far everything has been contingency because they weren’t even providing them with invoices to be behind on. They just really thought they were going to win a free gofundme.

 

[HTTP Error 404]

As mentioned on the stream, A billionare multi-national restaraunt chain lost TCPA and was sanctioned 400k. They got that overturned on appeal for being massively too excessive.

If MoRonica thinks they're getting even a significant chunk of the GFM they're insane.

I could see Chupp chupping it up and trying to award the GFM's value in sanctions, though. Hurray for appeals.

So... Someone filed their intent to subpoena Ty and BHBH... Three guesses which lawyer did it.

Just trying to run that bill up.

Is it normal to have that condescending glossary?

 

[Sheryl Nome]

What? Lmao, they don't get to subpeona that! Wtf is Lemoine doing

 

[Padoru]

am i missing shit here? I thought they think this is over. What right would they now have to do this? This is in no way relevant to fees and sanctions, is it?

There's no way this is relevant, this is Lemoine trying to fuck with them

 

[WarJams]

How the fuck do you subpoena in a case that is dismissed!? Holy shit, Chupp, look at the clown show you have allowed to foster at your bench because you won't discipline bad lawyers.

 

[Soviras]

No, this is lemon trying to increase the bill and to provide an excuse for his evidentiary hearing to happen if he gets the stuff he asks for. He wants to get evidence to support his argument for the 200 million dollar sanction or whatever it is he thinks is in the GFM. They have no legal right to request this information though, and they certainly can't justify the subpoena.

Pretty sure just about all of that would be privileged.

Every single drop of ink on the PAGE is privileged. This feels like a massive.... well, ethics breech. This just seems to be something that should really, really be punishable to even ASK for.

inb4 ty files an ethics complaint.

@AnOminous Is this something Ty could file one over?

 

[Kendrick]

I haven't read any of the new filings besides that ex-parte letter where lemon asks for a 2 hour hearing for no reason, but from what I've inferred of what you guys commented about the other filings, wtf is Lemon's game plan? How will he justify the ramp up in cost with those frivolous requests POST- verdict? The case is already over (minus appeals), why would Chupp grant anything besides "give me your invoices so that I can calculate how much Vic owes you"?

 

[Dumb Bitch Smoothie]

Imagine if Lemoine is the reason why the defense fumbles their win because he got cocky.

Edit: I can't wait to see how Lawtwitter justifies this.

I suspect he's fishing for evidence he can use to prove frivolity or that Vic, Ty et al filed the suit "knowing" that they'd lose. That could be used to increase sanctions on top of fees. It's a pretty blatant attempt to get at the GFM.

I though TCPA granted fees, not sanctions. I though with prejudice was sanctions enough.

it grants reasonable fees & sanctions to deter

court MUST award fees, may award sanctions

They won't be able to get the money in the GFM, but the Judge could decide to use it as a factor in determining sanctions, if any. But yes, it's probably to attempt to see if they can find any evidence that the plaintiff was planning to sue other people. If the Judge is given evidence that leads him to believe that Vic might want to file more lawsuits like this in the future, he can award sanctions that he believes will prevent Vic from doing that. Of course Vic can appeal that as well.
