I remember when your co-workers at Funimation could openly call you a sleaze and it was regarded as something charming. I wonder how Mike Mcfarlen feels about this whole thing.

This is for MoRon's briefs. Someone on Lawtwitter actually suggested a briefing schedule like this would make more sense earlier, and I talked about what such a schedule would look like a couple pages back. Apparently, they're going to file a response to the plaintiff's opening brief as well as their own opening brief in their cross-appeal in one document. This saves a little bit of time and paper and is only mildly confusing.
So we're going to see
Appellant's Opening Brief (tomorrow)
Cross-Appellant/Appellee's Reply Brief and Opening Brief (of their cross-appeal) (March 19)
Appellant/Cross-Appellee's Reply Brief (to MoRon's cross-appeal)
And then any sur-replies
The judges aren't involved at this stage in the proceedings to any great degree. It's the clerk of the court who is coordinating all this activity and getting all these documents packaged, making sure everything is in conformity with form and procedure, and then, ultimately, putting together a stack of documents including the briefs, reporter's record and clerk's record below, and possibly any additional documents.
This clerk shouldn't be confused with law clerks, who are more or less judge's assistants chosen from recent law school graduates. This clerk, the Clerk of the Court, is probably the most important person in the court and every case goes through
When it's all together, this all gets distributed to the three judges in multiple copies, including one or more copies for each judge's law clerks (recent law school grads who assist in the process). The clerks read it, write up a memo summarizing the case and its history, as well as the arguments, and analyzing them, probably coming to some conclusion how the case should be decided. The three judges also read all the material as well as the clerk's memo, which is completely nonbinding, and then confer between themselves, both by correspondence and in person.
Then, there's oral argument (or not). The decision has probably been made before this and probably doesn't change.
At some point during this or after it, the judges choose one of their number to write the opinion, and if one of them disagrees, that judge writes a dissenting opinion. Then, the court issues its opinion and, some time on or after that date, a mandate returning it to the lower court with instructions on how to proceed further, or affirming the opinion in its entirety.

Rusty J. O’Kane's reasonable excuse to the court for why he didn't turn in his homework amounted to, "I was going to do it later."

So in layman speak, "We planned on filing both in response to the reply from the beginning." This seems like a terrible excuse to not give them anything until prompted by the clerk weeks after they missed the deadline. If it really were the reason, then they should've filed for an extension to this date when they were first speaking with BHBC about their own extension.

... Is he really going with the "I was pretending to be exceptional" route?

Nah, BHBC's is due tomorrow (well, today). They're giving MoRon a month to get their shit together. Which seems... odd.

So they expected to file their briefs in a manner not prescribed by the rules, and the court was supposed to use its psychic powers to figure this out without them being asked.
It's a slightly simpler and more efficient briefing schedule which is why nobody is complaining. I'm not sure about Texas, but it's done fairly often with appeals/cross-appeals. I'd imagine there's usually a motion or proposed briefing schedule or some mechanism for requesting it but MoRon didn't bother with that. They just for some reason assumed it would work that way.

These threads are exhausting and, when I put myself in any of the participants’ shoes, distressing. I can only imagine the distraction and anxiety caused by being involved in this case as either plaintiff or defendant. I have to wonder if Vic, even he wins everything possible, will ever think this was worth the toll it’s taken on him in so many areas of his life.

This is the Court of Chancery, which has its decaying houses and its blighted lands in every shire, which has its worn-out lunatic in every madhouse and its dead in every churchyard, which has its ruined suitor with his slipshod heels and threadbare dress borrowing and begging through the round of every man's acquaintance, which gives to monied might the means abundantly of wearying out the right, which so exhausts finances, patience, courage, hope, so overthrows the brain and breaks the heart, that there is not an honourable man among its practitioners who would not give--who does not often give--the warning, "Suffer any wrong that can be done you rather than come here!"

Apt quotation. It reminds me an awful lot of every fucking divorce I’ve seen friends go through. Almost all of them have admitted that the legal aspects were so brutal that at several points they’d wished they’d never initiated or agreed to a divorce and had just made shit work somehow. I guess that’s what I keep wondering about Vic — if this could ever possibly be worth it for him at this point. Because my God, he’s been through some hideous shit here that I suspect he did not see coming or expect to come from this lawsuit.
As with divorce, the only real winners I see emerging here are the lawyers.

I'd say Vic likely will feel it was worth it, cause the alternative option was to let these fuckwits bury his 20 year career and reputation.

I mean, in theory you get vindication when you win a lawsuit. In our present day culture, I think people are less interested in reserving judgment until a court rules. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m not confident a victory in court will necessarily constitute a victory in the world outside the courthouse. People tend to believe what they like to believe. And I have an awful feeling that, even if he wins, the people Vic wants to keep giving him work might just decide it’s not worth the aggro.

At best he gets a roll of paper to smack anyone who calls him a rapist. The public will have to keep pressure on the companies to help him regain anything.
It would have to be a broad effort as well. You can't just boycott Funimation and Rooster Teeth. You would have to boycott Sony and Time Warner. Imagine if someone told Sony "I'm not buying a PS 5 because of Funimations bullshit." A 500 dollar console would sit on the shelf because some VA's got jealous.

It absolutely is worth it. Without the lawsuit Vic was done, both in terms of voice acting, and his con career. Even if he somehow loses the appeals he at least got his side of the story out there, he got to see the love and support his fans have, and he'll still be able to at least keep doing his meet and greets which is a nice little income, and probably more importantly to him lets him keep his contact with his fans going.

What cost do you think Vic will have paid for these victories if they come to pass? I don’t think it can be quantified but am curious how someone who takes the “no-brainer, it will all have been worth it” stance of certainty thinks about the cost/benefit analysis here.
