I think they intended to extend the deadline for both to the 19th. After all, that's what the motion asked for and the form letter they sent didn't indicate they were denying the motion even in part.
It'll be great in either case, because Lemoine said that we are amongst the "dumbest laymen in law knowledge", and Doucette said that if he ever found out Wolman and Randazza were soliciting legal advice from us he'd fire them, and yet here we are saying it begs the question on when their response is due and that they should seek clarification from the court. Rather than do it they're going to assume that both are due when there's a decent chance the court didn't extend the reply brief that they have to file on the 10th, and this will be another brief--the second in a row--that they will have to say, "Well, we
intended to do this, and we didn't file the other brief because we just assumed you'd be okay with it rather than take the necessary precautions and file a motion to extend or for clairifcation." Imagine, the court of appeals is coming into this and seeing one law firm representing defendants who don't even do something as basic as that while the other two lawyers do basic first-year law school graduate shit, and that
same law firm is asking for almost six times the amount that the cheapest lawyer on the defense is asking for and trying to justify it by saying "we did more work". You have only one chance to make a good first impression, and if Wick Phillips make assumptions that don't pan out, their first two briefs will set the stage for this court and likely drag MoRon back on that alone.
And the only ones to benefit from this on the defendants' side is MoRon, because if they want to sue for malpractice or need a defense as to why they shouldn't pay the $180,000 they still owe before appeals they can point to these two instances and say, "Your honors, how can we be expected to pay for shoddy performance when this was the way they handled the appeals to make sure they got paid according to the TCPA?"
