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

There's plenty to criticize Beard for without just making stuff up, though.
I'm going by things he literally said on Nick's stream. I don't have the sources at the moment because I ain't going through literally dozens of hours of streams just to catch 2 quotes.

You guys can obviously disagree on him being busy, but anyone with a brain could tell that before he wasn't giving this case the attention it deserves.

It's just an assumption. There's been plenty of times he's said on streams that he has to do shit early in the morning on other cases or he's spent all day on a different case.

See the problem with this argument is there's this little thing called having a job of which Ty's job has certain hours he is expected to be at that particular place. Easy to forget when you've got law-twitter, the whale pods, and the tugboat crews sitting around tweeting constantly because they lack one.

You're confusing him being a normal working person in a job that requires a lot of time with being too busy for the case. He's not like Nick where his chosen profession can be put on the back-burner in favor of a new avenue because the new career path has granted him the opportunity. Ty's law firm isn't small or one man, no good layer is going to only have a single case, there's absolutely nothing about Ty making comments about not being able to stay up too late or stick around on a live stream that says he does not have the time for Vic's case. It's literally just him being a responsible adult in order to be functional for work the next day.
 
Okay, so the issue with Ty came up when it was mentioned here by another user that he was working on another high-profile case that involved a significant deal of money. It was the next day that Nick mentioned Ty was busy with stuff but that somehow became "Ty was too busy for Vic."

He might have been benched. But that's speculative. And speculation isn't a good thing.

But on the flip side, given the aggression of Lemoine when hunting for info it might be best that Ty becomes scarce for a little bit. That means Lemoine has zero idea what Martinez/Hsu have as ammo, and what they know beyond what is on the record. Meaning he can't subpoena them confidently even if they do know the details of private conversations between Ty and the others.

Again, it's all speculative and they've made moves to make sure Ty isn't put into a bad position regardless of how Chupp decides to roll. We can probably thank Martinez/Hsu for that. But it isn't over yet. It's just a short term change for the time being. I see it as going on a road trip with friends and even though everyone in the car is using the same exact route to get to the same exact destination, drivers have switched temporarily.

No shit. It's just one of the many theories as to why Ty shit the bed right before TCPA. The sloppy response filed at the last minute and the affidavit bullshit.

I'm not here shouting MALPRACTICE like you fucks are painting me as. I'm just making an observation and a conclusion that I can draw from that.

Dude, you've hit the nail on the head. It's not that hard to cite to Exhibits instead of Exhibit ____; it's not that hard to get affidavits notarized instead of doing it yourself in highly dubious circumstances; and it's not that hard to get materials into evidence.

This isn't to say that Ty is the worst lawyer in the world. There are lots of times and places where being a C+ lawyer is fine. It just so happens that Vic's case wasn't one of those times, and Chupp's courtroom wasn't one of those places.

Nick's show is spinning this as "Ty got pulled away by other business." If that's what happened, then cool for Ty. But whatever the reason, Vic is better off with Martinez Hsu as lead counsel.

Lemoine didn't even own the rights to the images he used.
And the Powerpoint was about as necessary as taking a train to the face at full speed.

That being said, Lemoine's work rates are grossly inflated even without the knowledge that he is purposefully racking up the bill.

The amount of work spent on what basically amounts to digital toilet paper doesn't equal that ridiculous amount.
 
There is no context, usage, or definition of the word "professional" that could ever apply to Lemonparty faggot, unless it's "professional at scamming dumb losers into hiring a lawyer with an actual mental handicap".
"Professional mosquito magnet" might be a good one (and shorter).
 
Since we are rehashing the TCPA hearing, didn't Chupp accuse Ty of trying to subvert the rule 11 agreement and add new evidence past the deadline?

Wouldn't the judge be able to check if the two filings were materially the same? There would be two different file names (VM1stpetiton.pdf, VM2ndPetition.pdf). Or hell, check to see if the word count is the same.

Even if he couldn't do it himself, couldn't a clerk or the lawyer Chupp has on speed dial for mediations do it for him?

I'm guessing from Chupp's sheepish mediation attempt and the fact Lemoine is dry humping Chupp's leg that Ty did everything proper,

I'm pretty sure the 2AP is materially different from the 1AP, however the rule 11 agreement had nothing to do with amended petitions, it had to do with the TCPA response. What Chupp believed the defense about was that the 2AP violated rule 63, which is that it was within 10 days of a trial and therefore a 'surprise' to the defense. The dispute is whether the TCPA hearing counts as a trial for the purposes of that rule or not. Ty and co say no, defendants say yes, Chupp is too lazy to investigate.

IMO part of the problem with it being a 'surprise', is that, aside from it not introducing anything particularly new to the case as a whole, I would think the 'surprise' is because the defense has no way to argue against it because they aren't prepared for it...but the defense shouldn't be arguing against anything in a TCPA hearing, because they don't really need to prove anything like that at this stage.

I never read Ty's action like that. Rather I attribute it to misreading the judge. Before the TCPA hearing Ty assumed that Chupp was a no nonsense judge who was seriously invested in the case. But we now know that hes the exact opposite, wanting nothing to do with the case.

Ty was playing poker and everyone else was playing "go fish." So of course he played his cards wrong.

And of course no one checked out Chupp see just how incompetent he was. From the fact that he's a personal injury attorney or the fact that he's practically conjoined to the appeals court.

Is this an actual unanswered question about the TCPA or is Chupp just Chupp?

I think they are arguing that Ty should have analyzed his case load, tried to forseen any surprises and then made the decision to accept Vic's case. Best laid plans and what not.

If I remember correctly, the Texas appeals courts are split on whether the TCPA hearing is a trial, but the most recent ruling by the appeals court that has jurisdiction over Tarrant County was that it isn't a trial.
