Russ, you utter mong, how do you think the court would theoretically be able to decide issues around fair use if the Defense isn't allowed to discuss said issues with people on the record? The legal term for those people is "witnesses," and collecting a list of those people is definitely something a lawyer would want to do now while discovery is stayed. IANAL, but I can still think of several ways in which those "irrelevant" issues would actually be relevant to claims of fair use.

I like that Greee cites Chapter 5. Sadly, the court has never seen Chapter 5 to understand what the citation means. Maybe Green should file the rest of the book so he can cite it.
 
The KF link is a bit weird, since our .st did not exist at the time the lawsuit started
I think that might be Word autolinking, but it should be Kiwifarms.net or just KiwiFarms, A Website™.

Russ seems completely incapable to realize that a court case is often an onion, with layers (like ogres) - and Hardin is frying all the layers so that the case is salvageable even if ogre. Egads this got away from me.

Anyone who has read cases knows you have "it didn't happen; if it did happen it wasn't my fault, if it did happen and was my fault I had good reasons" etc.

Russ is still so set on settlement as the outcome that he doesn't realize all the various possible outcomes of the case, many of which would hinge on evidence provided by witnesses about the damage or fair use of the content.
 
Since Hardin is an actual lawyer that knows what he's doing and Greer is a bamboon, I'd lean towards Greer being wrong. The discovery stay just means they can't subpeona witnesses, there's nothing that prevents them from voluntarily talking to Hardin or Hardin letting Greer know that he will subpeona them when discovery resumes.
And once again Hardin is REQUIRED to inform Greer of them as soon as he believes they may be relevant. He must disclose them to the drooling shit monkey sooner rather than later. To not do so is sanctionable and can be case ending.
 
When relevance has been established already
Indeed. The Judge himself explained the relevance to him.

Ultimately, Congress has determined that if IFP petition contains false statements then a court has no jurisdiction to hear the case. As the Judge says, because he filed IFP, claims about his finances are relevant to question of jurisdiction - if Greer lied, the Judge literally has no authority to make any judgement granting relief to Russ.

so much trouble would be adverted if people actually knew how trials worked, you know, the kind of training paralegals would get

phoenix wright and tv law shows have fucked up society and the court system; it'd be fun to hear a judge rant about it all

It’s a great strategy. Get the notifications stricken, now Hardin is in violation since the court does not acknowledge any notification occurred, sanction Hardin, end case in favor of Greer.

With any justice in the world, Hardin will be granted the unusual but justified punishment of forcing Greer to write "Witness disclosure is not discovery." 500 times on a chalkboard.
It does not compel testimony, documents, or evidence, and it does not invoke any coercive power of the court. No subpoena has issued, no discovery device has been used, and no third party has been compelled to do anything.
 
I've said before that it looks like everyone is playing a game of appearing to be highly motivated to get to trial while avoiding the reality of such a thing (for different reasons)- and any talk of another venue swap would fall into that model, without getting any more specific for fear of it getting stuck into some AI prompt.
Defendants aren't. They're highly motivated to have the case dismissed outright and not have a trial at all.

Josh has expounded on courts and lawyers on MATI. I'd love to hear him ranting about it more. Hardin would make a good guest for that and also to talk about the ol' switcheroo in Republican Virginia.

It's not wise to talk about an ongoing case you are involved with. I'm imagining we'll get a solid rant about this case once it's done. Maybe even a special episode with the Hardship. At this rate, I'm not holding my breath that it will be this year.
 
Russell's response for Hardin's stay will be interesting, as he often argues the same in reverse against the defence. Will he concur or argue?

I'm pretty sure that if Russ's "stay on discovery" was granted the way he desired it, you'd have a very strong case that it harshly violates Hardin's (and by extension Null's) first amendment rights.

A Stay on Discovery means a Nigger can't Talk to Nobody is certainly a thing that could be decided, I guess. Courts have done worse.

It's probably for the best that this stuff stay second hand from @Potentially Criminal and others, because even if Russ is defeated and sent to the vexatious zone, there may be others and no need to give them background ammo.
 
Mr. Hardin has offered the Court another reasonable off-ramp. Lets see if they continue to accelerate past it.

A stay on discovery has no relevance whatsoever to nonjudicial investigation, even including stuff as potentially invasive as hiring private investigators to stalk the adverse party 24/7. There might be remedies for severely over the line behavior, but in general, investigators can do things that would get a normal person arrested.
