I'm going to give some unsolicited advice that many people in this thread probably should heed, if this waiting is causing you distress get off the computer and go do something productive and or distracting.

Examples, plant a small vegetable garden (potatoes are a beautiful plant and easier to grow than a damn cactus), go do 20 push ups, sit ups and squats (or 5 or 10 depending on how bad your fitness is), go read a good book (His Strange Materials is one I need to re-read) or go make something elaborate and delicious to eat (I would go with anything Italian pasta or pizza being the first options).

The only people that should be stressing about this filing should be the lawyers, so just chill goddamn it. Or panic if that is your kink, I don't judge.

It sort of like a new episode of your favorite TV show delayed, y'know? It doesn't affect my life in a major way or anything, but it still kinda pisses me off.

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.

It's hard to measure cost in legal actions. There's the checks you write, there's what the lawyers say, then there's the impact the whole thing had on your life.

From start to finish, you spend a lot of time thinking about the case. That time never comes back to you, money doesn't make up for the anxiety and sense of everything being wrong with the world. It's kind of like opportunity cost, you are tied up in this thing that won't resolve itself and that thing makes you look at people / situations differently. There are things you can and can't say, so you default to not saying much about anything. Occasionally, you hear or read something that reminds you of how this all started, and you instantly reconnect with moments from the past.

Then there are these moments where you're terrified something you did is going to damn you, only to have your lawyer tell you it doesn't matter. There's lots of them, self-examination is torture. You learn to put it out of your mind, but it's never really far away.

While I have no clue what Vic is going through, I imagine the dollars spent is the least worst part. I started donating to his GFM because I remember what taking someone to court is like and how much it meant knowing somebody believed me. That's really the only thing that ever lifted my spirits.

I judge. Log off the damn computer. The internet goes away when you close your eyes, stop letting it fuck you up.

And I'm saying that as the pedantic asshole who clutters up this thread complaining about punctuation.

So

So I assume that the means another potential midnight filing, as there isn't a set time associate with the filing request?

TRAP 9.2(c)(4)

(4) Timely Filing. Unless a document must be filed by a certain time of day, a document is considered timely filed if it is electronically filed at any time before midnight (in the court's time zone) on the filing deadline. An electronically filed document is deemed filed when transmitted to the filing party's electronic filing service provider, except:

(A) if a document is transmitted on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, it is deemed filed on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or
legal holiday; and

(B) if a document requires a motion and an order allowing its filing, the document is deemed filed on the date the motion is granted.

And because of course. . .TRAP 9.2(c)(5)

(5) Technical Failure. If a document is untimely due to a technical failure or a system outage, the filing party may seek appropriate relief from the court.

But that won't happen of course.
 
Lawsuits aren't structured for entertainment value. And it's the nature of legal practices that you have a bunch of balls in the air all at once, some of which are never going to pay off even though you put a bunch of time into them, and at least one of which is in the process of turning into a trainwreck because someone (not necessarily you, but possibly your client) did/is doing/is threatening to do something extremely stupid. That's why you end up with so many delays and postponements, even from non-lolyer JD-havers.

As non-American whose only experience with the American judicial system was watching episodes of Judge Judy for a few years, that lovely judge in that Providence TV show, and now this case, your first sentence makes me sad.

There is never a point where defending yourself against people wronging you isn't worth it. Even if it costs you everything you ever have or ever will, the alternative is that your life isn't your own and you are merely a slave to the whims of whatever group of people decide to target you.

Judge Judy is a special case because the people there essentially forgo some avenues of action so that their case is streamlined and also televised.

Wasn't it said in this thread that appeals court filings always appears late?
Presiona para expandir...

Someone on LawTwitter, I think it was Dunford, said that the court of appeals website updates "nightly", but it's not known when that nightly is, so it could be in a little bit, it could be not until midnight, but if it was filed today, it should appear before tomorrow morning.

Also, as they say, they are real cases (or was it another show that says that; can't remember right now), but it's not a real court. It's a form of arbitration dressed up to resemble a small claims court, and the "judge" can do what she wants, within reason. (I suppose the fact that she was an actual judge before the show helps, but she's still not bound by the normal judicial rules, as far as I know.)

and the loser of the case doesn’t pay, the network does.
