Weeb Wars / AnimeGate / #KickVic / #IStandWithVic / #vickicksback - General Discussion Thread

Starting to believe Texas is just as fucked over by the American left as other states after reading about the #savejames trial. I keep hoping for the best when it comes to the appeal judges, though. I mean, Chupp's republican.
Conservatism is a joke. They have failed to conserve anything. Leftists want to shove a 3 foot dildo up your ass as fast as they can. Conservatives, instead of outright opposing it, will simply drag the process out over several decades.

It's the GFM, man. If they can get something to spin as proof that Vic, Ty and Nick filed the suit frivolously, they can ask the court to award sanctions to whatever level the court determines is a deterent to future frivolous suits. They've been after that WARCHEST since day one.
This was my thought, too. Lemonparty clearly wants to bleed Vic dry with sanctions. Nick pointed out yesterday a case involving a huge restaurant chain (potentially worth billions?) who got sanctions on the order of a few hundred thousand dollars. Getting a judge to sanction Vic for a similar amount won't be easy.

so wait... wouldn't this violate attorney/client privilege? A quick google search does show instances when it doesn't apply but when I try to look for case law.... yeah. nothing. so if it doesn't apply then whatever....
but if it does and chupp actually tried to force Ty to violate it.... well can Ty refuse and force the issue into a higher court somehow? I get the feeling if Chupp's behavior was exposed to a higher court he'd be very... 'disliked' fast.

Hopefully we can get a law-kiwi for a better explanation. But my plain-ass reading of it is: Not EVERYTHING he's asking for would violate privilege, but SOME of it does. So Ty can resist it on those grounds, because it's not his job to go "Well, A for effort, but this is blatantly improper. Let me help you fix that and concede the things I can."

Ty has no impetus to help his opponent here, and it would probably be improper/sanctionable if he DID put any effort into helping harm his own client. It's over-broad, and frankly baffling why someone would wait until a dismissal to request new evidence. If you want to accuse Vic of something, get your OWN damned lawsuit. That would be the proper time to subpoena new information.

But hey. Go easy on me. Not a lawyer.
The way I understand it, due to work-product doctrine being a thing most of that information is privileged, there may be some that isn't, but until Lemones actually files and gives a detailed explanation of what he wants this notice is not exactly well defined, so privilege may or may not be a thing, depends on what he ends up asking.
 
To the point of a PR disaster for Funimation which is good PR for Vic. The PR victory is the most important one to shoot for. Monica, Ron, Jamie and Funimation might not realize it, but them winning this lawsuit will come with a hefty cost. You can summarize their position, not just in imagery but in effect, with a single Yugioh card.

Not to mention WHY he wants/needs it. No case left, so it can't be probative to the case. At least not until/unless the appeal successfully goes through.

My theory is: Lemwah thought the judge handed him a blank check (and I don't blame him for thinking that), so he's trying a hail-mary to embarrass Vic, Ty, and possibly Nick.

Hopefully Chupp looks at it and goes "my god, what have I done." After all, the prevailing theory is he wanted done with this case.

If that theory is right it would be funny.

"Ok, got rid of that case, now with some luck either the plaintiff doesn't appeal or appeals court doesn't send me an angry letter, but at least I don't have to deal with this shit anymo... *You got mail*... Oh fuck."

Actually not, because it explicitly doesn't ask for communications between Ty and Vic, but between other people (including declarants in the case) about Vic. Any such communications unless Ty has known them since before litigation were for the purpose of creating work-product for litigation purposes which is not discoverable.

Just what the fuck has Vic and Ty done to be sanctioned?! Unless Ty did some dumb shit behind the scenes and they got evidence of it. If anything, it's Him, and MoRon that should be sanctioned for their stupidity and Chupp as well for being such a dunce. It's clear that West Nile Lemon Mosquito just wants to drain the war chest dry.

Given Chupps actions as of late, I don't think he has the balls to do that, he's proven to be a lazy idiot.

Lemwah wants to subpoena Ty's communications with Nick. They want that GFM money.

Based on transcripts, Chupp clearly saw that whatever decision he would make would get appealed by whoever got assblasted by it. He's stuck with this case, and frankly, the fuckwit deserves it.

So... would this be something could fight the judge on and have actual legal basis rather than the 'respect the court bullshit'.
 
Something else. Lemoine has clearly and obviously abused discovery. Wouldn't it be judiciary abuse by the judge to allow Lemoine more discovery when he clearly and willfully abused the civil rules of procedure?
Note: even if its an option, I would personally save it until needed... but this situation is a powerful one if its possible. it'd piss Chupp off but it'd put him into a position where he can't aim his rage at Ty without risking ending up like hunter.

I think it's great that he has the audacity to gayops like this when he himself (and his clients) didn't comply w/ initial discovery and filed shit late.

He has his coming. he's committed enough fuckery that he's going to get investigated if an ethics complaint is filed.... and that alone will tank his business prospects and in a way that he can't really do anything about without worsening his reputation.
or to put it nicely, he's heading for becoming a cardboard box lawyer.

I don't think Chupp cares as long as this autistic dumpster fire involving Chinese cartoons leaves his sight. Also Chupp's gotten 3 Writs of Mandamus; I doubt some fuck ups in a mid-level MeToo case involving foreign cartoons will get him disbarred or in deep shit.

IMHO Lemoine wants to float new ideas on

1. going after the gofundme.
2. slander Vic some more

Maybe also to get Nick in court.

I watched Rekieta’s stream this morning in bits and pieces, and here are some very interesting parts regarding Vic and the appeals:
  • Nick says that the notice of appeal is due on 10/24 and implies it’s coming either today or tomorrow.
  • It will be a short letter; further documents will be fleshed out in the future.
  • Lemoine’s laughable letter states that he requests a hearing to serve but not fill billing records and insists on a 2-hour evidentiary hearing despite not speaking to Supreme Court.
  • Nick says that they want a hearing to avoid objections, which is stupid because objections can be made at a hearing and even on paper.
  • Also, Chupp gave them what they wanted, so why would they want a hearing?
  • They don’t want the public to see their billing invoices. Nick theorizes (and I feel the same on this) that Ron may not have been honest about those legal fees at the deposition.
  • Long story short, Lemoine’s letter is exactly what we all thought it was: a desperate attempt to cover their tracks and waste more time and the plaintiff’s money.
  • Nick reveals that Vic’s appeal court will take place at Fort Worth - Court of Appeals of Texas, 2nd District, Fort Worth. Bryce King, Camisha L. Simmons and David Van Leeuwen will be the three judges.
  • More interesting is what happened near the end during the super-chat regarding Michelle Specht. Nick says that Specht is not exactly innocent herself, her preying on his Christian beliefs may be act to “hide her demons”, and hints that her relationship may have ended earlier because she was SO not a “random thot”.

probably not but the judicial board might fine him. that would be embaressing and would be money taken from his country club membership/other hobbies. I was just asking if he could be reported for letting lemoine get away with all this bullshit but punishing Ty for something that essentially is meaningless and not even illegal/violation of protocol.
 
The idea is that anyone who brings a frivolous lawsuit might be tempted to do it again, so they pile on sanctions to dissuade them from doing it.
That is bullshit, sounds more like an attempt to stop anyone falsely accused of sexual assault from taking legal recourse by making an example of them.
