oth, at the very least the TCPA has relatively hard deadlines attached to it so its not like they can play patty cake with it for an entire fucking year like this jurisdiction slapfight. unless they appeal everything

I'm not sure the strict deadlines would apply in federal court because they are procedural rules.

(My personal opinion is the deadlines may be framed as procedural rules but because of how the law is intended to be applied, they're actually substantive parts of the law and so should be enforced in federal court as well, but that's an issue for the litigants.)

The parties agreed to put it off. Frankly, I disagree with the choice of Meyer's counsel to agree to put it off again. This bullshit has to end.

maybe its so he can ask for sanctions or so the other side will embarrass themselves and show the judge they are other morons
 
A rare instance of Ya Boi talking a bit about the lawsuit, and Waid, mostly in regard to Waid branding Just Some Guy, who is black, a White Supremecist.


One of Zack’s more engaging videos. Long but entertaining and informative the whole way through with minimal rambling sidetracks or coughing fits.

Waid more or less admitted in his deposition that he just calls anyone he doesn't like a "white supremacist" and doesn't care that it's an incredibly damaging allegation if believed.

What’s astonishing is he still continues to do this in ways that leave a permanent record. He just openly called for all of his twitter and social media followers to harass a black man because Waid has declared said black man to be a White Supremacist. Remember folks, it’s #comicsgate and Kiwi Farms that these people claim are a hate movement.

Most SJW truly think they are untouchable and as such, do all of their scheming in public because of the arrogance issues of thinking that there are no consequences of doing evil in broad daylight.

Also, @KEK7go, can you notify Nick? Here's material for tonight's show.

The motion is a combo of a number of things, most of them not new. First, Meyer's original opposition to Waid's first frivolous attempt to challenge jurisdiction. One major difference is that while the same legal arguments are in place, the factual allegations are now backed up with references to the depositions which hadn't been taken at the time of the original pleadings.

Second, I think Meyer also adopted some of the reasoning of the magistrate judge's opinion in the last ruling.

Third, and most importantly, the case for specific jurisdiction over the defamation claims based on Waid's physical presence in the state while committing defamation, which incidentally Waid lied under oath about and got caught, necessitating the jurisdictional discovery that led to the depositions.

It is absolutely clear law that committing a tort while physically present in the forum state establishes jurisdiction, to the point it is an act of utter frivolity to argue otherwise, but once the court has jurisdiction over that part of the defamation claims, it has what is called pendent jurisdiction over the other very similar and related torts.

Incidentally, during that defamation while physically present in Texas, he admitted knowing Antarctic Press was in Texas as well as admitted knowing the owners of it. He hasn't provided any evidence he learned any of that after the tortious interference, so he was also lying when he claimed he didn't know that when he made his phone calls to Texas.

Wow, that is the opening sentence for the Introduction. Someone is getting sick of all these delay tactics. I think Byrne is going to start playing hardball to get Waid's fat ass dragged to Texas.

Reminds me of this.

New joint filing. It's a proposed scheduling order by both parties.


The timeline going forward if it is accepted:

January 10, 2020: All parties to submit written settlement offers by this date.
February 14, 2020: Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) report due by this date.
March 6, 2020: All amended pleadings by both parties and adding of additional parties by this date.
May 15, 2020: All fact and expert witnesses and proposed exhibits by plaintiff by this date.
June 15, 2020: Defendant witnesses by this date.
August 28, 2020: Discovery closed by this date. It may be extended by agreement of parties, but the court can't intervene except in "extraordinary circumstances" and even if it does, this won't change the trial date if something comes up in post-deadline discovery.
September 28, 2020: All dispositive (case-ending) motions by all parties due by this date.

Pretrial conference date and trial date to be set by judge.

I am going to speculate that the agreement to tolerate the latest nonsensical jurisdictional filing by the plaintiff, allowing the defendant to put off the TCPA even longer, wasn't just him being a big softie and that actually agreeing to firm drop-dead deadlines for the rest of the case was part of it.

These dates seem long and painfully far away, but if they are dates certain, they're livable. You can see why the parties would agree to these dates fixing the limits of their torment.

Minor lesson here: stay out of court. This shit sucks to live through if you're one of the participants who isn't getting paid to be there.

It's another incentive to settle, though I doubt Waid will do it unless one of his lawyers slams him up against a wall and smacks him while screaming "YOU CANNOT WIN THIS, YOU FUCKING JAMOOK." But it would probably need to be a New York lawyer for that to happen.

As long as waid keeps paying them they won't force the issue. The only person going down with the ship will be Waid when all is said and done.
