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

[Harvey Danger]

Lemoine is taking a page out of Doucette's book. Spew as much crazy as you can and hope no one catches on. If no one notices that you are wildly inconsistent from one day to the next, they won't think you are crazy.

Lemoine is a malingering tool, but I think his last two filings are correctly playing to an audience of Chupp. He puts the smears in front of the legal cites, and lays out a straightforward case for going after Slatosch... as long as you don't read the cites and realize he's trying to scam the court with bad analysis of the cases in question.

Vic's lawyers are not eviscerating Lemoine like they need to be. His arguments are sketchy and need to be blown wide open. Instead the plaintiff's side is proposing alternative interpretations of the TCPA; that lets Lemoine get a pass on his bullshit, and lets him attack the new arguments with more hand-waving. It shouldn't work, but it is enough to give a disinterested judge an excuse to just grant everything for the defense to get it out of the way.

"Taking the gloves off" just to ask for sanctions against Lemoine isn't enough. It needs to entail a paragraph-by-paragraph, KF-autistic refutation of his entire filing. The judge is already pre-disposed to dispose of this case by giving everything to the defendants, he just needs someone to provide cover for the decision. Lemoine is providing that, and the only way to stop him is to make every defense argument look untenable by pulling the basis out from under it.

Doucette is dumb, but Lemoine isn't inconsistent; he's just dishonest and unethical.

So all these companies and cons, who "knew for decades" about the "open secret" of Vic's evil hugging, and who totally back up the "victims" whose stories changed 10 minutes before they signed an affidavit... why would they suddenly not want to hire Jamie Marchi just because some D-list celebrity filed a frivolous lawsuit while being #StillFired?

"Noticeable reduction in her recording and convention work."

Like many have assessed already, Soyny probably got Jamie and the crew on a slow train out of the Funi station. Slowly reducing their workload and hiring new blood to replace them (Funi has gotten new voices recently, some fresh, some Sentai mainstays). Whether those newbies are just as WOKE and cancerous, well that's a different matter. Soyny being a new Commiefornia-based company does not bode well for Funi's future project quality. As for "Lucoa is a feminist" Marchi finally getting the legal dong within range...

I am very much looking forward to her arc's, conclusion in this case.

Seems like he's finally decided to get some people with some real experience with Commercial litigation and Contract Law in addition to Beard. Seems like he's getting these guys on ready for the Appeals, where they may have more experience than Ty regarding this. Hopefully they might start to shut Lemoncunt and his bullshit down.

Getting another counsel involved for the appelate portion is smart. You need fresh eyes, and if you haven't been in that particular appeals court before, you REALLY want someone who has. It prevents you getting blindsided by whatever quirks and rules they have but don't advertise. Also the fact that they are filing for sanctions against the Lemon Fuherer is pretty good indication the gloves are off and this is far from over.

*Edit* and according to their website Michael Martinez primarily practices appellate law.

How the hell did 2 normal(?) people spend more an a lawsuit than the multi-million dollar company.

Because Lemoine's been doing all the work. I'd hazard a guess that roughly 80% of the filings from the defense have been from him, and most certainly the longest filings have come from MoRon's team, as stupid as they have been. He's factoring that into the entire thing. Then you have the "deposition prep" they had to put MoRon through, which as Nick pointed out probably comes out to about $15,000 for both of them.

The obvious counters to everything they've stated are as follows:

1.) The defense could have filed their TCPA motions prior to any discovery, even after the judge said no one could file it until after the depositions for Vic and MoRon were done. Had any of the defendants filed before Vic's deposition, it likely would not have pissed Ty off in the least as they'd be on an even playing field and he wouldn't have brought it up for sanctionable conduct or the like. As such, the deposition amounts should not be factored in because the defendants made a conscious decision to stall on filing their TCPA.

2,) Mediation was ordered by the judge to be split between all parties.

That being said, the biggest problem I have with Ty right now was his and Hsu' failure to argue that the TCPA didn't apply. As I stated, the defendants opted for discovery to proceed; in fact, Lemoine/Casey pushed for the depositions, and took umbrage that Ty and Vic hadn't provided discovery they didnt' even demand, while simultaneously making excuses as to why they wouldn't provide their own discovery as requested. There was a solid case to be made in that regard, the the defendants--all of them--forfeited their right to file TCPA because they all decided to engage willfully in discovery. As the TCPA is designed to shut down frivolous lawsuits with the least amount of money spent by other side, by racking up bills that didn't need to be charged, the defendants should not get money for their own decisions.

This may be history in the making right here, folks.

The first time the diversity casting is more than just diversity for asspats if these guys are good at what they do.

Not going to lie, I have a strong desire to pinch Martinez's cheeks.

Also looks like we have four named partners on Vic's team: Beard, Bullock, Martinez, and Hsu.

with all due respect to him as a person: The reason for that is probably that he has facial cheeks for days. Nothing wrong with being fat/chubby of course.

There is absolutely nothing in the text of the TCPA that prevents you from using it if you have previously done discovery. Sometimes you need to gather some facts before you want to make the assertion that the TCPA applies. Other times, you find out something during discovery that leads you to believe that the TCPA applies. Trying to change the law to make something like that apply would be a mess. Plaintiffs could just, before filing a lawsuit, prepare as many notices of deposition as they want, and then rush out the gate with the lawsuit and start putting out subpoenas and doing depositions immediately. Meanwhile, you are unable to gather literally any evidence for any of the positive defenses that are allowed under the TCPA for certain torts. So, the plaintiff is able to gather anything they want, you are unable to gather anything you need, and plaintiffs have unlimited freedom to impose costs on you until your motion is complete (a motion you were most likely unable to prepare for, despite the plaintiff having the opportunity to blitz out of the gate with lots of prepared paperwork).

This entire statement is wrong.
The TCPA STOPS discovery, so your entire diatribe about it being an imbalance is wrong.
Also, the TCPA DOES NOT need discovery. NOTHING you find in discovery would have any effect on the TCPA. Why? Because the TCPA is literally saying "This lawsuit is utterly frivolous, has no basis in fact, and is done purely to slap me for speaking publically". The onus, for the TCPA, is put on the PLAINTIFF to prove the lawsuit is meritorious. It requires literally -nothing- from the defendants beyond simply claiming that there is not a case.

Good luck convincing him of that.
