1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,380 Scene 1, February 10th, 2025. The restraining order quest. 2 00:00:04,380 --> 00:00:06,920 Your Honor, we served a request for documents. 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,780 He told us he had a copy of a 2018 restraining order involving Mr. Moon 4 00:00:10,780 --> 00:00:12,580 and said he'd be happy to provide it. 5 00:00:12,580 --> 00:00:14,620 Then, he didn't provide it. 6 00:00:14,620 --> 00:00:16,580 So we filed a motion to compel. 7 00:00:16,580 --> 00:00:19,080 I didn't respond because I, uh... 8 00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:19,080 I didn't respond because I, uh... 9 00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:19,280 I didn't respond because I, uh... 10 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:19,680 I didn't respond because I, uh... 11 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:20,680 I didn't respond because I, uh... 12 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:20,920 I didn't respond because I, uh... 13 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:21,600 I didn't respond because I, uh... 14 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,880 I didn't respond because I, uh... 15 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:23,640 I didn't respond because I, uh... 16 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,080 I didn't respond because I, uh... 17 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:24,840 I didn't respond because I, uh... 18 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:24,840 I didn't respond because I, uh... 19 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:32,460 Mr. Greer, you will produce the 2018 restraining order by February 24th, 2025. 20 00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:34,640 Wait, but... 21 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,680 But why can't your lawyer just go get it? 22 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,560 Because this is discovery, Mr. Greer, not send the defense on a scavenger hunt. 23 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,480 Translation. 24 00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:44,140 The court just told him, you said you have it. 25 00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:44,960 Hand it over. 26 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,820 Scene 2, February 12th, 2025. 27 00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:48,940 Rule 26. 28 00:00:48,940 --> 00:00:50,520 The show-and-tell disaster. 29 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,220 Mr. Greer, did you provide witnesses and evidence in your... 30 00:00:54,220 --> 00:01:04,520 rule 26 disclosures? I provided the concept of witnesses, your honor. The record shows you twice 31 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:11,020 failed to provide any witnesses or evidence in your rule 26, A1 disclosures. Here's what we're 32 00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:20,520 doing. You will pay defendants $1,000 by March 13, 2025. Oh no. Oh buddy. That's a lot. I'm a 33 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,580 person. That seems harsh, your honor. Seriously? This is a courtroom, Russell. Federal court 34 00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:31,000 is not improv comedy. You don't get to just freestyle the entire discovery process. Scene 35 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:39,060 three, May to June, 2025. The sanctions Olympics. I would like to file a motion to stay, a motion 36 00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:44,220 to reconsider, a motion to un-stay the state, and a motion to pause the consequences of my 37 00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:49,960 actions, your honor. Pretty please. Your honor, he's just refusing to pay the sanctions and 38 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:55,020 instead he keeps filing motions like I'm eventually going to get overwhelmed and decide to settle. 39 00:01:55,020 --> 00:01:59,720 For the record, I'd rather die. Mr. Greer, the sanction was due March 13th and you didn't 40 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,540 pay it. I denied your request to delay sanctions, bitch, so you better have that money. 41 00:02:04,540 --> 00:02:10,020 Um, just let me explain, your honor. Instead of paying up, I'm trying to petition the government 42 00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:14,800 for redress first. Yeah, cool. Good luck with that. Anyways, just because you're in the middle 43 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,480 of filing something else doesn't mean you can just ignore a standing court order for sanctions. 44 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,280 Get that wallet out. Then we get to the court's June 10th, 2025 order. This is when the tone 45 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,360 of the court shifts from substitute teacher to stern dad mode. Here's the bottom line, rat 46 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:38,600 face. Pay the $1,000 by June 30th, 2025. If you don't, you'll pay another $500. Also, keep 47 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:45,480 in mind, filing additional motions will not in fact delay your payment date. Uh, wait, so filing motions 48 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,820 won't stop the deadlines? Woo-ha? Correct, bozo. This isn't some video game pause menu, you know. 49 00:02:51,820 --> 00:02:59,500 Scene 4. September 30th, 2025, Discovery, the sequel. Remember the 2018 restraining order? The one 50 00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:05,020 that Greer was ordered to find proof for back in February. Well, guess what? Your Honor, Russ Tart 51 00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:10,540 still hasn't produced the document. After February 24th passed, the court discussed it again at a May 6th 52 00:03:10,540 --> 00:03:17,260 hearing, ordered the production again, warned Greer about Rule 37, B sanctions, and gave more deadlines, 53 00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:24,780 but still, nothing. Um, so, I didn't get it because it's expensive. Also, now that I think about it, 54 00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:31,420 it's probably irrelevant anyways. So, just like, move on or something. Jeez. You didn't respond to the 55 00:03:31,420 --> 00:03:37,420 motion to compel, so you waved away the relevance argument already. You were ordered again to produce 56 00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:45,740 it, with deadlines including May 20th and then June 3rd. Oh, jeez. Caught me some slack then. At 57 00:03:45,740 --> 00:03:51,580 least I gave him the case number. Isn't that enough? Now, Bish, providing the case number is not the 58 00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:56,700 same as producing the relevant document. Plus, he keeps filing reconsideration motions instead of 59 00:03:56,700 --> 00:04:04,560 producing it, Your Honor. Yes, I am aware and I am denying those considerations. Mr. Greer, you are hereby ordered to 60 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,420 to show cause by October 14th, 2025, 61 00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:12,140 why rule 37 B sanctions should not be imposed on you 62 00:04:12,140 --> 00:04:14,660 for failing to obey these discovery orders. 63 00:04:14,660 --> 00:04:17,800 FYI, show causes court speak for, 64 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,500 explain why I shouldn't punish you 65 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:21,220 for ignoring a court order. 66 00:04:21,220 --> 00:04:25,260 Scene five, September 30th, 2025, rule 11, 67 00:04:25,260 --> 00:04:26,800 the stop and think incident. 68 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,760 Same day, different dumpster fire. 69 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,820 This is the part where a new rule, 70 00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:32,820 rule 11 comes into play. 71 00:04:32,820 --> 00:04:36,000 - Your honor, rule 11 requires reasonable investigation 72 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,180 before filing factual claims. 73 00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:40,380 We served him a rule 11 motion and told him 74 00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:42,360 he made two materially false statements 75 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,260 in his court submissions. 76 00:04:44,260 --> 00:04:46,840 - I disagree with the term materially. 77 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:49,620 Also, I'm not sure what that means, harp derp. 78 00:04:49,620 --> 00:04:52,860 - The defense may feel free to explain the specifics. 79 00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:53,860 - Thanks, your honor. 80 00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:55,760 First off, Greer filed an accusation 81 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,380 against my defense counsel, 82 00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:59,920 claiming we violated a court's protective order, 83 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,640 but he later admitted he had not read the protective order. 84 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,100 Also, he didn't know what it actually constituted. 85 00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,600 - Uh, uh, I assume that, uh... 86 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,000 - Dude, shut up. 87 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,700 - For real, shut up. 88 00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:12,120 Literally the whole point of rule 11 89 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,960 is to prevent instances where people just assume shit. 90 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,540 Continue defense. 91 00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:18,320 - Gladly. 92 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,880 Second, he claimed a witness. 93 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,000 Some guy named Steve Taylor was totally legit real, 94 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,600 and also eager to testify. 95 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,000 But it turns out that Steve is fucking dead, your honor, 96 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,360 and Greer hadn't spoken to him in years. 97 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,820 - Wow, he's dead. 98 00:05:30,820 --> 00:05:31,820 Oh, crap. 99 00:05:31,820 --> 00:05:34,320 I'm a total idiot, aren't I?
