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

[Gehenna]

These guys have a bit of experience with Chupp and the Tarrant County law community as a whole. Ty was smart to bring them on. I'm not happy w/ Ty in general but I'm grateful he recognized that Martinez Hsu on board would help. So far I've got moderately hopeful expectations for them, and from the sounds of it, it seemed like Martinez took the energy of the room.

I'm curious about the transcripts because they should at least offer some insight on what their interactions were like.

I'm witholding this degree of optimism until I do see the transcript. I don't trust LawTwitter to get anything but the broadest strokes correct, and even then its 50/50.

 

[I can't imagine]

I wonder if Lemoine is still going to argue that the deadline has passed to the appeals court.

Thus far, Lemoine's M.O. has been to file anything that could even vaguely be conceived of as a viable argument, so I'd say it's a safe bet. Which is actually why it's pretty useful to have this conversation on the record.

First Dunford admits that Lemoine's escapades is beyond his knowledge and now this guy? LawTwitter is supposed to be all knowing! Is it possible that these jackasses have been flying without a map the whole time?!

For the appeals court though, don't they have word limits? I mean, yes, Lemoine could force Martinez and Su to waste words on something easily disproven, but he might have to throw everything at why Chupp's ruling should stand instead of technicalities.

I think Lemoine would be wasting the appeals courts time trying to pull it off. He would do it just to get the dick smacked out his mouth again.

He's trying to get Chupp to prevent the appeal, rather than direct his attention at the appeals themselves.

And it ain't working because Chupp allegedly bitchslapped him at the hearing by saying that he didn't seem so confident about winning those appeals.

Very weird flex, I must say.

But very Chupp. "Ha ha, even I know my ruling was idiotically wrong because I'm just that incompetent!"

"I literally threw darts at a board to write the judgement."

Now I'm terrified that Vice can be judges.

"I gave the reins to my 14-year old son to write the stupidest judgment ever and he did it in five minutes."

 

[Dumb Bitch Smoothie]

You know I kind of feel for Chupp.
He gets thousands of pages of autism he has to sift through from both sides, then even more shit, and then has a bunch of tards in the court room.

At that point I'd feel all the motivation and will to perform my job be sucked from my body.

But then again I browse KF and it's sifting through thousands of pages of autism so I guess that doesn't necessarily count, and it's no excuse for Chupp to not do his job.

Slinging that dumpster fire to appeals is the easy way out.

I have compared it to a high school sophomore trying to finish it before class several times.

The problem is that he had blatent evidence of a crime and still could not be bothered. If this was an IRS tax evasion case or... any complicated case where Chupp would be forced to follow multiple steps of logic to a conclusion, Chupp would have started screaming autistically at everyone in the court room until forcibly removed.

Nah, if he was forced to do his job he'd eat lead in front of the "packed" court room. That requires less effort than actually thinking critically.

The actual pleadings were 20-30 pages.

If the fucker didn't want to do a lot of reading he shouldn't have become a judge. This is nothing compared to some cases.

Accepting Ty's binder would've helped too.

I still stand by my headcanon that Chupp is a disgruntled old-school 80s/90s weeb and a sub-only purist who is disgusted by the absolute state of the community.

 

[I can't imagine]

Let's be real. He didn't read anybody's binders. He probably barely read the pleadings. There's little to indicate that he looked at any evidence beyond the minimum to pretend he had some idea what was going on. Accepting Ty's binder would have had a net effect of 0, since there's no way he'd have taken the time to look at it.

Ty should've put pictures of anime titties on the front of the binder, to interest the judge into seeing WTF was inside.

(I'm kidding of course. Mostly. Kinda. It's becoming a better idea as I type. Actually, you know what, considering how the TCPA hearing went...)

 

[Dr. Geronimo]

Question: Are the defense's motions for sanctions and fees admissable for the appeals court? If there's evidence that Funi paid for other party's legal counsel could that be evidence of conspiracy/

No new evidence is allowed. However, the question at odds here is if the plaintiff made a prima facie case in their (at least the first amended) petition.

Which the elements are there, albeit a bit out of clean order.

All of the carnival games Lemongrab is playing will torpedo the trial, should the TCPA ruling be overturned in appeals
