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

How is Lawtwitter backing up this bullshit as ethical and justified?

If I was a potential client and I saw a lawyer thinking this was appropriate and acceptable action I'd have little faith in their representation.
 
So Lemony wants to drum up hearings to drag out costs while Vic is still liable for them? His own clients won’t be good for these costs once this collapses.

firstly Lemwahh would have to file for a motion to strike, a motion that can be quashed quite easily.
secondly, if Chupp strikes the ammended petition without the motions being filed, he himself will be in some serious legal trouble.
 
So... Lemoine is claiming the judge's Order is not the final judgement? That seems to be the basis for calling Ty's notice of appeal "improper", but if so, isn't that admitting that no judgement was entered by the TCPA ruling deadline?

Because if no judgement was entered, I thought that means the TCPA fails altogether.

I still am under the impression that he's bluffing for the sake of media much like what happened with Vic being "summoned" and Griftsby running with it.

Ty doesn't comply with a request and the news gets to claim it's because he has something to hide. Some bullshit like that.

Or it's a combination of things and it's 13th dimension chess according to the mosquito controlling Lemonhitler.

TCPA doesn't require a final judgment, just a ruling on the motion to dismiss, which was granted.

its more likely that lemonhead doesnt want this going to appeals at all since he knows that can lead to some serious shit

Hold up, I clearly wasn't paying attention here. Lemonhead's request for the 2nd amended petition to be stricken from the record wasn't even an actual motion, just a letter?

I mean, I guess I'll give Lemione credit for at least putting in some effort coming up with harebrained schemes to keep this out of the appellate court, but I can't imagine this is actually going to help his clients in the long term.

These are so stupid, that if Chupp grants them, I can see him adding to his Writ of Mandamus collection.
 
Is there anything that Vic's counsel can do to stop this exceptional individual from sending emails instead of filing documents? Surely that shit can't fly, and it's not the first time he's done it. Could he use this continual sending of emails in appeals or in another procedure?

Complain. BHBH can complain about it, or point out it's improper, and maybe Chupp will tell them to stop. Or BHBH can request sanctions against Lemonfurher for it.

Failing that, if Chupp keeps treating these ex parte communications and acting on them then it's writ of mandamus time.

Isn't Chupp out of the loop at this point? Chupp doesn't get to say what does or does not go to the appeals court -- does he?

Then what the hell does this mean?

Is he claiming that Chupp's Order is an "order granting dismissal under the TCPA that does not resolve all claims" because the attorney's fees haven't been decided yet? If so, then Mr Notice Of Intent To Maybe Possibly Kinda Subpoena A Minnesota Lawyer is getting very stuffed up about a mere notice that an Appeal will be forthcoming.

I think Rekieta said something like it's unclear about whether the appeal timer is supposed to start from the Order date or the date when the attorney fees are finally decided. But either way, a mere notice shouldn't be called "legally improper" if it's too early.

Edit: others seem to be saying this is disingenuous fuckery. I've been away doing RL for the last month, maybe I forgot that logic and sound lawyering has no place in Weeb Wars.

Yes, I wager it's this. Remember how we (well, I was at least) kept getting confused as if the appeals start at the end of the TCPA or at the rewarding of legal fees / sanctions? Lemonfurher is trying to play that game. "Oh the sanctions haven't been found out yet so he can't appeal yet" followed in a few months by "he can't appeal he's past his 20 day window."

He's trying to get BHBH in a catch 22 where there's exactly no possible way to actually appeal, because even though Lemonfurher is just a brain damaged fuckwit with a tiny dick who will never be successful in his chosen career, he's not entirely stupid. He knows if this hits appeals then they're almost definitely going to overturn Chupp.

Then what the hell does this mean?

Except attorney's fees are not a claim that the TCPA covers. Those are the claims Vic made. He's either a complete fucking idiot, or he's trying to bullshit Chupp. Or both.

Judgement was entered, just not final judgement. Final judgement will be rendered after fees.

Yeah, ultimately filing it too early is unimportant and any amount of stamping his feet that Lemonhead might be doing doesn't really matter. The filing was done now because it's possible it would be the deadline, but it could also be after the decision regarding legal fees. Ultimately, ol' Lem would be pitching a fit whenever they filed it, either for filing too early or too late, but too early is way less of a problem than too late, so there ya go.

He's just trying to make the whole situation as confounding as possible in hopes of utilizing the "baffle 'em with bullshit" strategy. Most likely, he figures if he keeps dragging everyone into more weird pieces of nonsense, something will get screwed up procedurally that he can score points off of. Strangely, none of this is really what you'd expect from the side that ostensibly "won" a decision; just something to :thinking: about.

Correct, this is the safe choice and Ty did the right thing given the ambiguity entailed and the fact the 2nd hasn't said anything on it to my knowledge
