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

Whatever the truth of the claims, filing a police report is absolutely privileged in Texas as it is in most places against civil suit. It can be a crime, but it's up to the state to prosecute it. Reporting a crime to the police is what you do if it actually happened (or you are insane), but it enjoys absolute immunity.

Reporting a "crime" to Twitter is what you do if you want to defame someone.

HOAs are shit. They apparently were arguing that they were owed whatever they claimed, as a matter of law, based on nothing other than they said so. It seems like Chupp was his usual curt, abrupt self, and disposed of the case quickly, but abuse of discretion? Nope.

One of the actually competent things Lemoine did was requesting findings of fact and conclusions of law, depriving Chupp's fee ruling of the rebuttable presumption of validity.
Funny what happens when you actually file a police report.

Amazingly, you get the benefit of the doubt.

Funny how that works. You're civilly immune from police complaints, in almost any jurisdiction for almost any reason. You can't be sued for defamation. But if you actually are lying, you can be criminally prosecuted.

Yet, if you instead choose to take your claims of crimes to Twitter, you can only be sued, but not criminally prosecuted.

I wonder what kind of claimant chooses to take their case to Twitter, instead of the police.

Hmmmmm.

Yeah but the police are racist and sexist pigs who probably vote for Trump. They would never take true and honest allegations seriously!

So not only was the allegedly defamatory accusation outside of the statute of limitations, but it was also absolutely privileged speech.

Yeah that lawsuit was getting thrown out, TCPA or no TCPA.

You know this is going to be spun by retards into a web of bElieVe WhaMEn and other tripe.

They amplify what fits their narrative and minimise the rest.
 
I followed Vic's case at the outset, but lost track of it. I'd heard it was dismissed with prejudice and Vic was ordered to pay the defendants' legal fees; how in the actual fuck did that come about? And, more importantly, did any evidence of criminal behavior on Vic's part ever actually surface?

A guy named Judge Chupp who is the Clown World version of a judge. The case is still on direct appeal. It has now been over a year.

None whatsoever. Kick Vic tards claim there's "evidence" of it, but all that was actually filed are affidavits by shit like ex-fiancees claiming he cheated on them (that is the one thing he admits) and other absolutely irrelevant bullshit. Other than the claims of Monica Rial and Jamie Marchi, which they come up with multiple versions of any time they have to, there is zero evidence Vic ever did anything remotely untoward to anyone at all.

Almost like clockwork, any time they produce some picture and claim it's Vic groping someone against their will, the other person in the picture shows up and says no, it was completely consensual and was one of the high points of their fan career.

And every rando who comes forward and claims "Vic groped me" is a repulsive blue haired uggo, fat as fuck, and completely unlike the actual hot thin young women Vic actually fucks in reality.

Yeah that dismissal has to be the most bullshit thing ever but was it actually dismissed "with predjudice" fucking why its not like the guy has absolutely no case, was it just a way to kick that hot football to someone else?

When something is dismissed via TCPA it's just always dismissed with prejudice, because the implication of TCPA is 'such an obviously frivolous lawsuit with so little substance that the person doing it should be punished for wasting the court's time and harassing clearly innocent people'. If a judge were like "All that, but if you want to come and try again, that's fine" that wouldn't make any sense.

Not that it would have stopped Chupp. It just happens to be one of the things he didn't fuck up in his decision.

"With prejudice" is a legal term and it basically means that the specific actions that gave rise to the lawsuit have been fully litigated and can't be brought back into court again as part of a subsequent, separate lawsuit.

Closely related is the concept of res judicata, "a matter decided." If a plaintiff tries to sue again with the same set of facts (even if their claims are slightly different to try to evade the previous lawsuit's dismissal with prejudice), the defendant can claim that the matter has already been decided and shouldn't be re-litigated. It's basically the civil equivalent of the protection against double jeopardy that exists in criminal cases.

Basically it means the only way to continue the case is to appeal it.
 
Im convinced that the case has somehow fallen through the cracks at this point. Is there any way any of the parties could "bump" the case. Like, file a notice of vacation or something? To remind the court that the case exsists?

I'm just a layman, so I'm not sure how these things work, but damn it's been YEARS. I'm not a helicopter pilot either but if I see one in a tree, I'm sure I could point out that something is amiss.

Yes, with prejudice, meaning it was over at the trial court level. All that really means is it was dismissed based on merits, meaning all appeals had to go upstairs. "Without prejudice" is generally for procedural reasons like you failed to serve the defendant, and in that case, you can just (presuming statutes of limitations have not expired) file again and just do it right the next time.

Hey, man. I need to ask, are you alright? Since the avatar and description change - it looks like it happened around Chris's revelation. Did... the site finally break you and turn you into like some super-villain lawyer?
