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

Oh, I'm not arguing that the strategy was unreasonable at the time. I'm simply saying that people who are still thinking "we gotta get to Sabat" should calm their tits, as "we gotta get back in front of the judge" is a far more pressing matter for eternally young Victor. Once that's resolved, then figure out if things even get to discovery and then maybe get back to wondering where Sabat fits into the proceedings

Yeah, I don't think anyone wants to bring in Sabat before appeals are through. Unless they have videos and a signed confession saying Sabat was the puppetmaster, focus on fighting one thing at a time before poking a second bear with a stick.

The potential problem is the statute of limitations. If appeals are going to take 4-6 months like was suggested on Nick's stream last night, they might need to file something against Sabat early. But that can probably take the form of a barebones notice pleading, then let the suit sit for months while the appeal wraps up.
 
There's spin, there's bullshit, and then way beyond, there's whatever the fuck this is. "The fact that when Chupp was given an opportunity to assign a monetary number to just how frivolous the suit was, he instead did the sanctions version of a bunt, just PROVES it was extra super duper fantastical magical frivolous!"
 

The absolute state of this cockwomble. Chupp isn't saying they worked too hard, he's saying they did a bunch of unnecessary and irrelevant shit. I have no idea who this tool is, but I'm guessing from his twitter handle he's one of those twitter """""lawyers"""", in which case he should probably know that deliberately running up your clients bill with frivolous shit is considered a dick move.

Remember all those twitter faggots claiming Vic was getting scammed by Ty, they should be screaming that twice as loud for MoRon because they're now on the hook for thousands on account of their lolyer and his grandstanding paperwork diarrhea. I seriously wonder if, at any point, he warned them this was a possibility, because I have a sneaking suspicion he didn't and probably deliberately encouraged the idea that the more he vomited all over the docket the more they would be sticking it to Vic
 
So after watching Nick's latest video, I was right in assuming that Ty and co. we're going to file additional paperwork with this being an appeal brief.


Can't wait to read it.

Holy shit, yes, it's almost like the MoRons did hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of frivolous, unnecessary bullshit, just because they thought that they could drive up the cost and then shaft Vic with the bill for it. And that's his super genius hot take, now, as if it wasn't patently obvious all along?

I wonder who was telling them that Vic would definitely be writing them checks for millions of dollars in fees and sanctions? Boy, they sure were idiots to have listened to those people. Chupp ruled that Vic's not paying for the dumpster fire they created... that must have come as quite a shock.

It'll be even more wonderful if the appeals court overturns Chupp's ruling... I suppose then Lemonparty will have simultaneously done too much and yet still not enough?
 

And here I thought my story about Ron and Lemoine’s fee argument was the most autistic thing on the internet this week. Lawtwitter really loves one-upping kiwis.

Serious note though: these guys never, ever admit when they’re wrong or when their side fucks up.

Meanwhile, we immediately call fuckups on our side and admit when we’ve lost a battle.

instead of Lawtwitter realizing that Lemoine got BTFO in the most subtle way possible and that judge made another appealable move(since you can’t retroactively add additional fees in when the appeal has already been filed,) they’re acting like the judge is still on their side and just giving Vic a mercy.

No, you fucks. Chupp is chaotic good at best. He’s just doing whatever the fuck he feels, laws and rules he damned. He just wants to go back to cool cases and not deal with Chinese Cartoon voice people.
 
The appeal case would be stronger if Chupp just hammered Vic for no good reason, wouldn't it?
As said here:
There are several things to be appealed. The fees appeal would be stronger. I think the dismissal is a completely separate issue
The appeal of the dismissal and of the fees are two separate points. In layman's terms it would go like this:

> The decision to dismiss the case on TCPA was wrong because of these reasons

..

> Without prejudice, should the court find that the TCPA dismissal was warranted, we still contend that the fees were too high because reasons
 
Definitely will be interesting to see the transcript from the 21 Nov hearing now. Trying to remember what did lawtwitter say was asked of Lemonaids tweeting about the GFM and his answer? Going to be real curious about that.

I wonder if Martinez and Hsu brought printouts of his tweets to the hearing.

I wish it was recorded, like a deposition the plain text doesn’t do it justice. Especially since Lemontwinks Senior Partner apparently raised his voice at the judge.

But Lane, I thought you said "It means that Chupp thought they worked too hard"? Why would it be a bad thing for your lawyer to work hard for your case? :thinking:

That would be rather a risky gamble when appeals are coming especially since the issue of sanctions deterrence is likely to come up and they could easily raise the argument that they need to be upped because "see, look, right after Chupp's weak sanctions he just went and sued someone else already!"

The major cause of action that would be foreclosed after a year is defamation which isn't even what Sabat would supposedly have done, being a behind the scenes actor. Everything else I can think of offhand is either two (general torts) or four years (contracts).

It seems it would be possible to plead around the TCPA by focusing on business torts when defamation isn't even the major concern with Sabat, if he really is the shadowy Iago figure he's been portrayed as.

Neither of these guys are the mega-morons who make a fool out of themselves every time they tweet, but I'm mildly pleasantly surprised to see anyone remotely law twitter even acknowledging something as obvious as that rubbing his hands together in glee at the GFM while muttering "my precioussss my preciousss" actually, yes, looks really bad even to a judge who barely pays attention.

Isn't the statute of limitations one year from discovering the action, not suffering the damages? There's nothing more than suspicion yet, is there?

If this gets to discovery again and if they find something bringing Chrissie in, I very much doubt he, as a man who has mostly kept his damn mouth shut, will be brought in under defamation even if the clock starts from discovery of the act

It just baffles me that they think a TCPA expert cost 5 times as a regular lawyer. If your an expert at most you would cost the same or cheaper due to being an EXPERT!!!

Just curious @AnOminous , what do Lawfirms usually do in a situation that Lemonaids got himself into? I mean using Thousands of the firms resources (on not related stuff also) and then dumping it on the clients after most likely promising they wont pay a penny?
