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

My opinion as to the fairness and efficacy of the American civil legal system was already pretty low but sitting on the sidelines this seems shockingly bad even if it's all technically permitted behavior.

No. It isn't. This is not standard. This is an extremely low level of judicial performance below that which could and should be expected.
 
The idiot is probably also wrong on the second point, until now it's a notice of intent, now what happened with the last notice of intent Lemon filed?

It's an abuse of process to force the other side to respond to it while if a motion for sanctions comes around, he can claim he never actually did it. He's such a slimy little West Nile riddled wheezing half-dead pussy.

Do they have to respond to it? Couldn't they just ignore it until he actually files the motion, specially when he already made a similar thing which went nowhere.

Or are there negative aspects to such thing?
 
So I'm wondering if a lot of the communication between Ty and Nick actually falls under Reporter's Privilege. He's made it very clear that he's a journalist on multiple videos of his. He could argue that Lemoine is trying to subpoena BHBH to reveal Nick's other sources besides BHBH, and that his communications between himself and Ty/BHBH are actually protected.

There are a lot of avenues for fighting Lemones petition, privilege attorney client is one of them, lack of relevance is another and that is just from my layman's point of view, of course it would probably depend on the actual filing of Lemon, because as is there is no reason for Ty to send him anything, because 1 the lawsuit is over, as far as the court is concerned and 2 Ty's communications don't matter for deciding the TCPA payouts, unless Lemon gives a reason for why they matter.

There's no way the court should allow that Subpeona, its completely meaningless

Lemonhead doesn't get to fucking engage in discovery for the purposes of Sanctions. There's just no way. This is in no way the intention or a reasonable interpretation of 27.006 (b) and frankly its disgusting that he's trying to do this.

And that IS what he is attempting to do. He wants discovery here.

Communications between Ty Beard, an attorney, and Vic Mignogna, his client. Not attorney-client. Another hot take from lawl twitter.
Lemon party isnt asking for communications between Ty and Vic only communications concerning Vic between Ty and anyone else.

It sounds like hes merely threatening to do these things and hoping on the off chance that Ty complies. He must really think Ty is a rube.

The good news is this is gonna look WONDERFUL during appeals for the defense when they continue to try to say there's nothing to see here.

They can use Lemonhead's dumb choices against him if they're smart.
 
Doesn't this go against the whole point of a TCPA? That is to say, to quickly shut down a case fully to protect defendants from the cost of a needless trial system meant to silence someone financially?
If that is the case,doesn't this filing basically tell everyone, not only the court, that at least one of the defendants don't think the case is frivolous because they are trying to continue it after said TCPA had already been ruled in their favour?
I mean legally it probably doesn't, but it sure does look like they want all the benifits of the case, without the hassle of the case itself, plus they don't have to pay!

It's still protected work product concerning the production of material directly used in litigation and specifically targeted at that activity. Even without that it's sought for an improper motive and is completely irrelevant to the proceedings.

Ty should tell him to fuck off.

You used to be staff here so you can probably answer this. Is it likely I'd get banned from here if I abducted Lemoine's pet dog/cat/whatever and replaced it with several hundred thousand mosquitos dressed in a fursuit?

Imagine if someone showed up to the courthouse (not going inside, just standing outside) wearing this.

Maybe two of them standing outside, one happily waving at Lemwhiney and the other FULL OF MOSQUITOES!!!

Also now I'm imagining Ty walking into the court room with this playing like it's a WWE entrance. Yes, this is probably the 10th time I've linked it. No, I'm not going to stop, because it's fucking hilarious. Yes, I want Vic to sing it in court when being questioned by Lemwhiney.

I mean, I think that would count as some sort of fig-based operation, but if you can get a camera attached to that fursuit, I'll fund it.
 
That's me being authistic but... I want Lemon to file his discovery demand on BHBH for any communications not with Vic, about Vic.

I want that to be filed, Chupp to Chupps and not squash it, and Ty to not oppose.

And then file his discovery result with a simple " You will find attached any and all communications requested that do not fall into client-attorney privilege as Exhibit A". And the Exhibit A is an empty white page.

I can dream!
