OMG this is hilarious! I really want to see the lawtwits reaction to this.

I can sum it up for you in a photo of them all combined.
You See this is NORMAL, and Lemoine and his firm know what they're doing. After all they won in all the hearings, and won the case.

Now that they've done the exact opposite of what he assumed they would, what do you wanna bet he'll try to pretend he never thought it was a big deal? Or else try to argue they somehow have a good chance of getting the CoA to accept their brief?

Incidentally, the language of this notice suggests to me that they will now not be allowed to file any later than the 21st, since the CoA wants "a brief along with a [late filing] motion". If they have to file the brief at the same time, no extensions beyond that. Or am I wrong?

The appeals court "may" dismiss an appeal if they don't do what the letter requires. My guess is they'd accept a motion within that time for an extension. Presumably BHBC could oppose it, although that would be pretty cheeky.

I hope Martinez Hsu does oppose it. Stop being friendly with these twonks. It hasn't helped BHBC at all until.

Yes.

(a) Motion. Unless these rules prescribe another

merits of the motion and whether those
parties oppose the motion.

I hope Ron Toye and Monica Rial are satisfied with the quality of the counsel they are spending mind bending levels of money on.

Or are they? Have they been told to pay up or fuck off? Are they even being represented?

No wonder Ron Toye is losing his goddamn mind sending reams of crazy gibberish to Nick Rekieta. It won't help him though.

See, a few months ago I wondered if Sam Johnson could try to push Jamie Marchi to settle because he realized he's going to get paid in money printed on the back of Whopper wrappers.

But now I can see Ron shaking Lemoine by the lapels screaming "THIS IS NOT FAIR!" And refusing to pay because there shouldn't be the need for a cross appeal. (Getting all their fees from Chupp the first go around.)

But if Monica and Ron have been dropped... Haha, Ron attempting to present something coherent at the appeals court.

Anyway, maybe Ron was hoping to guilt Nick into telling Vic the lawsuit was a mistake. The last hail Mary of a desperate man.

Just ask them directly. Dunford (hi) lurks on here. Most of them do. That dimestore Jason Malmoa motherfucker probably does as well. They are probably in committee right now coming up with some sort of spin.

 

[Crabbo]

Be honest. What do you guys think are the odds of Vic actually getting justice?

Depends on the terms of justice.
I would call it justice if he wins the case, and is allowed to continue with his life.
Even if he is not awarded any money in regards to this lawsuit.

How optimistic am I?
Cautiously. there are plenty of other cases that have been demonstrating that rape accusations should be held accountable, and utilizing MeToo as ways to ruin lives has been shown to not be tolerated in courts.
Smollet is back in courts for his antics, and even CNN got brought to term for targeting a smirking kid.

Will the appeals court give this case more than a few moments of time?
God i hope so.

 

[Fougaro]

If this whole thing took place in a law school exam in my home shit home: Depends. Vic might have a case against the landwhale (bit of a stretch) and Funimation, but he'd have MoRon dead to rights beyond any reasonable doubt.

Realistically speaking: I'd paraphrase the Dayton Peace Agreement and say 51/49. There are unpredictable human elements such as lawyers being not as smart as they thing they are and the fact that we live in a society. Even if the appeals succeed, we don't know which points will be brought back on the table. And even then, who knows if Vic will win. Then again, I've personally witnessed crazier things than a man winning a #MeToo case against a bunch of shrieking harpies. It can go either way, but I'm leaning more towards the pessimistic side.

FUCKING LOL. Hey T. Bag Doofus, isn't this what you accused Ty and his team for, begging for more time regarding the appeal? And of course Scrotum Head, Mike Dumpster, Tyler Wolfpussy, etc. are covering the ears saying "La la la..." about this, because why not?

Dude, just let it go! Low T Greg and the rest of Lawtwitter have less of a grasp on law and basic logic than /biz/ has on economics.

To me, justice is even one count coming back. So, I'd say pretty high.

 

[Gehenna]

Possibility: Could Lemoine's firm have decided to just tank the damage and go after MoRon for it? They have to know that the chances of getting any more money from the Court of Appeals is unlikely, and they have to know that will be more work they aren't getting paid for. Not being paid, in itself, is a reason to drop a client... so could they possibly (Though I am unwilling to posit, probably) have told MoRon to take a long walk of a short pier?

That's what I'm hoping. They could have just blown off a deadline for whatever reason, though, knowing that there would be a notice of late filing rather than the case being thrown out, and then they get to wait until the 21st and file some bullshit then.

So we'll know by the 21st whether MoRon are fucked. Got it.

Gonna be a big week then

T. Greg says that Ron and Monica will file the brief with a pro forma motion asking for the extension retroactively.

[RodgerDodger]

Hilariously Lemoine can't even argue error or that he didn't know. He's on record as conferencing with BHBH regarding their extension request. Why the fuck didn't he just put one in at the same time?

Asspats from LawTwitter?

 

[RodgerDodger]

Hmmm? Complicated Legal Question. When Lemoine drops dead from Corona-Chan at the first hearing does he get to declare that as a win or a loss? And how does it impact his billing?

nick wasn’t waiting for it, the court came out and said “hey fuckers, you’re late. Get it in or we throw it out”

but of course, if the shoe was on the other foot, it would be the worst thing ever.
The fucking hypocrisy of Doucette and Lawtwitter knows no bounds

We don't need to speculate on what those cunts would do. We just need to remember back to a couple weeks ago when Ty was pathetic for "begging" for an extension and filing a motion to extend time BEFORE the appeals court had to kick out a "where's the brief" letter threatening to dismiss the appeal.
