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

[I can't imagine]

I just wanted to see Chupp's face the last few weeks when West-Nile has been spamming him with random, friviolous shit. Accusing an affiant for perjury, while their own affadavits are ....actually a problem. They are perjury. Faisal has previously provided false evidence. Manjaw hasn't told a truth one day in her life. Monica's story is full of holes. Eri-min submitted her own affadavit to disprove Faisal's claims.

It's like projection 101.
Pls don't look to hard on our documents k! It's the plaintiff's affiant who is the liar! Why? cause I say so and I am a lawyer!

That's actually what has been the strangest part of the whole crusade against Slatosch (sp? maybe I spelled that right). Lem pretty much spelled it out in the request for the deposition: Slatosch and Ron's testimony cannot exist in the same universe, so one of them is perjuring themselves. Why exactly would an attorney point that out unless they had really, really good evidence that their client was telling the truth? And...needless to say, I can't imagine any attorney would look at Ron and say to themselves, "Yes, this is a gentleman that people will believe is sincere and honest".

So, either he's got something, or this is another of Lemonhead's "baffle 'em with bullshit" strats.

It's my understanding the only thing that will get a Judge emotional is the chance they might be sanctioned or disbarred or censured or whatever it's called. Ty and Nick have shared a story where a new judge was panicked about messing up, and asked an older judge. "Did you do anything to get censured?" "... No?" "Then it doesn't matter."

I remember the story. In fact, the older judge added "They'll sort it out on appeals."

I haven't watched the Vid but just remember that Nick 100% got the info from Ty and Ty has completely misread Chupp before.

While I do agree, there's a difference between "Chupp seems like a no-nonsense judge!" and "Chupp said X". One's an opinion, the other's a fact. And whatever you think of Rackets' knowledge or opinions, his factual statements have always been solid.

You did spell Slatosch right.

Also, why do you think Lemwaaah is so desperate to strike Slatosch's evidence and/or discredit him? That evidence is damning, at least for prima facie.

 

[Garm]

Nick didn't mention anything about Vic and Ty testifying.

I thinks this spednaughter is making shit up.

Well this is interesting. Shoe is on the other foot there eeh?

Been like that since the start lol

“Pls pay me go fund me I lost job” is only good proof if you’re the defense apparently

Take for example Fatso sung wong cho, best friend to Jaime Marchi and “professional voice actor for over five years” with 3 roles and one lucky big time borderlands 3 character because 2k literally wouldn’t pay union workers their worth....

Him and his wife (who has worse hair than horse face Monica that it might as well be a tribute) will slag Vic all day long for rumors Jaimie spread, but get butthurt when one of their friends gets exposed as a sex worker and all of a sudden people’s private sex life is important to keep safe.

Him and his wife will slag Vic all day long for fan support but get butthurt when one of their friends gets called out for their shitty “successful” crowd funding campaign for stolen dice art

“Cancel culture doesn’t exist you’re all stupid Stan’s” “StOp AtTaCkInG mY iNnOcEnT fRiEnD”

Money talks and the wrong people will always have skeletons to expose and pretend they’re perfect.

This hearing made me oddly more hopeful. Well, not odly, I can identify exactly what did it.

1: We now have rock solid confirmation of Chupp's status. Its not incompetence, or being insane enough to believe the defendants. Its just being flat out lazy. That can be used, that can be worked with. Break things down into a simple format so he can skim it quick and understand, provide the minimum of work for him and he'll invoke his wrath on the otherside.

2: Beard wasn't leading that hearing. I didn't see anyone point this out specifically, but beard let someone else handle it. This is a good sign since if the case load for BHBC is bad then delegating to a single person should be good to avoid the slapdash approach, and Beard himself proved to be... not great at this type of law. But that won't be held against him, as the entire purpose of a lawfirm with multiple lawyers is to get a varied skill set to pull from, and hopefully Martinez is the right person for the job.

What's critical is the appeal. If that doesn't go well it's pretty much game over. I'd almost anticipate someone tries to take it to the Texas Supreme Court at that point, which probably won't be interested, or might only be interested in some small part of it.

Whatever happens there, the appeals court(s) opinion more or less frames how the rest of the case goes, and that makes a likely breakpoint where if parties are even remotely inclined to settle, you'd see at least a round of talks on that front. (Which is why Chupp's mediation order was crackpot and a bizarre Hail Mary, as there was literally no reason for anyone to want to settle anything at that time.)

 

[FGO-Professor-P2PBTW]

It's aszumed that Martinez knows Chupp, as in has been in his court before, so that will help out. I hope.

In Nick's video he said, "I'm under the impression that Mr. Martinez is the one who handled the hearing today," which the person who was there also said. Only the insufferable Marc Whipple thought otherwise in his live tweeting of Nick's video.

Why the absolute fuck was Martinez not the one in front of Chupp for the damn TCPA hearing then?

I believe An Lee was there to help. Martinez being brought on to help later. The TCPA does seem pretty straight forward.

That said, Ty is conceding control to other parties. Then again, Ty did have initial successes with Chupp only for TCPA hearing to go to hell.

 

[GenericReviewerDraco]

Why the absolute fuck was Martinez not the one in front of Chupp for the damn TCPA hearing then?

Because Ty got cocky since the defendants were exceptional individuals. Don't think Ty expected Chupp to be so absurd.

It seemed like Chupp was on Ty's side, since he ruled in Ty's favor in early motions. He should've prepared for the worst case scenario, but it's not unreasonable to see why he didn't

Yes, and it was after the early motions that Lemoine hopped on and started his shit-flinging obfuscation strategy. I think Ty fell into a similar trap as we did here on KF, the belief that Lemoine would eventually get slapped down for being an obnoxious idiot and the clear TCPA case would continue along (except for Marchi).

Of course, if you're faced with a law you don't understand and a case you can't see clearly, the other option is to just not do the work to clear either one up, and let the COA sort it out for you.

If Ty knew before the TCPA hearing that the bench rulings would still be in a messy uncertain state months later, I think he would've obsessed over the details a little more.

 

[Dumb Bitch Smoothie]

Martinez is the "new" lawyer but man I knew I had high hopes in Martinez Hsu for a reason

 

[Immaculate Ape]

If the transcripts actually have Chupp saying "I never made a final ruling, remove your appeal" I'll eat my fucking tie.

Could that be seen as the Judge trying to deny Vic his rights to an appeal if it's worded that way?

Also wasn't case law inconclusive about the timeframe when appeals can be filed with one case saying that it had to be after fees and sanctions are determined and another saying that it was up to the discretion of the appeals court or am I remembering wrong?

That's why I'm hesitant to believe that lawsperg's account of things. Hard to hear dialogue when your head is up your ass, after all.

But seriously, if Chupp at all directed the Plaintiff to revoke his appeal, and that's on the record... whew.

Frankly at this point I half expect it to go the the Texas Supreme Court regardless. With the amount of bullshit this case is generating, it seems likely it'll end up managing involve some issue or another that the court wouldn't mind getting an opportunity to address and set a precedent for.

This is Lemon, mister 5 TCPAs in appeals court expert, if it can inflate the bill he will probably even try to appeal to the British Crown... I say this as a joke but thinking about it, it would not surprise me as much as it should if Limoni does something of that level of stupid...

Appeals court is supposed to deal with the bullshit while the high court deals with the broader stuff like (state) Constitutional questions. Sometimes the more bullshit is in the way the harder it is to do that.
