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

Don't remember the award she got in the judgement, but it wasn't that high. So I think she has a lot riding on the appeal being rejected.

The realistic settlement for funi is doing a public apology, say they fucked up the investigation, they already have fired the person who made the tweet, and offer a few thousand. I don't think they'll fire Monica, Jamie and sabat or lose dubbing rights tho, but a retraction and a few grand is most realistic. The worse I see is either Monica and Chris quitting and going to another dubbing studio to infect.
 
Ok that is funny, they are asking for more time to review the voluminous clerk's record when more than 1.5k pages of it are ones they themselves produced.
They may know what they wrote, but they would, at the very least, need to familiarize themselves with how the CR is organized, which was up to the clerk. Maybe that's a poor excuse, though, seeing as Vic's team was able to produce their brief already. Maybe the other side is going to try to produce something autistic again and needs extra time to sort it out. Maybe they're desperately searching for something that might save them. I dunno.

Can an appeals court sanction all of them for jamming up the lower courts with shit that overflows to them?
I figure you'd need something pretty egregious to get them to take such an action, if they even can. They wouldn't want to risk punishing someone who genuinely deserves justice merely because their filings or the case itself look annoying.

Depends on how interested Sony and how involved their money is. If Sony just wants to punish money coming out of their pockets for stupid shit, they might fire them.
 
Generally, I agree with you, but I don't think that's Vic's focus for this case. Clearing his name and reputation is.

Which is why I think Vic would settle for very clear retractions and possibly a nominal dollar amount and not require any punitive firings or dollar amounts

Even if this goes away "for free" under the tcpa, court and lawyers are a huge pain in the ass and a huge time sink for the average person. Not making this go away with something as simple as "you know what everyone? I shouldn't have said that. I don't like Vic, but he's not a sex offender" is bizarre.
 
Damn, were gonna maybe possibly reach some actual form of a lull period for about a month, I mean lawtwitter and the other speds can be somewhat entertaining with their terrible takes but now we wait.
Not so fast. We haven't seen anything from Marchi, have we? As far as we know, her response is still due Mar. 10. Let's see what happens there. (Bets on her being the only one to not request an extension?)

I wouldn't count on her not requesting it. She'll want to piggyback on whatever the other defendants file, and filing a request for an extension is pretty cheap.
 
Pretty sure this doesn't apply to MoRon and Marchi, they have to file their own, though pretty sure MoRon are kind of screwed a little on the extension request till later in next month? Considering they have just made the request recently.

MoRon and Marchi have until 10 March to file their response to the appeal brief. The extension for FUNimation only applies to them, and the extension to file the cross-appeal brief only applies to that, not to MoRon's appeal reply. I really hope they fuck it up and don't file a reply, because I'd love to see Ty and crew say, "No, we're opposing this since you also missed your cross-appeal deadline by two weeks and we gave you a freebie."

where is the T Greg tweet of Ty begging the court for more time?
Hey T Greg, is this the defendants begging for more time now, or are you a blatant fat broke hypocrite?
 
I don't it ever got off the ground.
Clearly, Pridemore is still willing to trash Todd.
If there was a settlement, it didn't involve her recanting what she said.
Or he just didn't pursue it as she has no money,like all of the other speds, so nothing to gain and it didn't really harm him as much as Vics shit harmed Vic.

Pridemore is a nobody, so anything she could say is not damaging, specially after the texts came out and she had to shut up after that.

One thing to remember is that for defamation you need some damage to occur, I mean there may be psycologycal damage by having sex with Pridemore but that doesn't matter for defamation, that is why nobody from the zoo (Orangutan Armz gurl, Whale and any other parasite like those) were charged, their opinions were so worthless that no person cared what they said, the other ones have pull in the industry or are in a closet gay relationship with Sabat, so their opinion actually caused damages.
 
2020-02-25 Funimation's Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellee's Brief

Looking like that March 10th deadline is going to be pushed back.

Are they going for the corporate strategy of "drag this out for years"?

The alternative theory I had was "the merger has changed the politics of this lawsuit." Aniplex has been designated as Funimations tard Wrangler and doesn't want a lawsuit bogging their balance sheet so they are trying to figure out how to get out of this.

Dragging it out seems more likely.

Todd nailed her to the wall as soon as she opened her mouth by producing all of the texts she sent after they banged.

funny how providing receipts immediately works to bolster your case, and defeat the other side.

come on Ron m, Janie & Monica. Show your receipts that you say you have.

I think you might be overthinking this. Vic's counsel already asked for an extension (technically two), so Funi really has no reason not to ask for one. And if they plan on stalling things out for years, asking for an extension of a few weeks is hardly the most effective way to go about it.

My guess would either be it's some gamesmanship (you asked for one, so we'll ask for one too); or it may simply be the same reason Martinez Hsu asked for one, to get everything looking as good as possible.

I figured that Volney would give priority to a corporation to get this done. But it is more likely you are correct.
