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

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.)

It's kind of like an NJP in the military: the normal rules of evidence don't apply, but there's still requirements and limits to what the presiding officer can do.

Specifically, when you get on Judge Judy the people involved signed a binding Arbitration Agreement, saying they will abide by the ruling of the arbiter (Judy). They DO have to pay out or do what she says, though often the amount they are paid to show up and be televised is more than the amount paid.
 
Yesterday's documents dropped around midnight Texas time.

Documents now available. MoRon's Unopposed Motion to Retain Appeal and to Enlarge Time to File Opening Brief and Response to Appellant’s Opening Brief and the court's order granting the motion. MoRon's brief is now due on Thursday, March 19, 2020.

Edit: This is MoRon's motion.
 
Any deviation from the rules requires a motion, even if it's just pro forma bullshit.
Sure, that's part of my point. "In for a penny, in for a pound" and since they have to make a motion, why ask for only 24 hours, have no margin for error and risk having to request a third extension if anything goes wrong? As Gehenna speculated, it could be because of the defendants but it's weird.

Their brief better be pretty damn good already if they only need 24 hours to polish it.

They'd better have spent 24 hours polishing the brief instead of their knobs.
