It procedurally makes perfect sense. The deadline for otherwise filing this would expire before the decision about jurisdiction, which is obviously the first thing to decide.

So without an extension, it wouldn't be possible to raise the TCPA issues.

Now, frankly, those issues are absolutely frivolous bullshit.

But procedurally this makes perfect sense.

I think they take a kitchen sink approach and claim everything, because Mark Zaid is just that much of a complete shithead.

LegalKiwi Question.
Can it get to a point where the judge just tells Zaid to "fuck off" after he files enough frivolous motions?

We're long away from that. He hasn't filed anything yet other than a marginally meritorious personal jurisdiction motion.

I think Zaid is stringing Waid along, telling him that all these delays are good for his case. Once Waid runs out of money, Zaid is going to make up some lame excuse, leave all the work to the Texas lawyers, and flounce with Marky Mark's cash.

Delays are good if you have no defense.

The more delays you get, the more it's likely that the plaintiff just says fuck it and goes away.
 
Ooo! Evil thought. Is Texas one of those states like Florida that forces the loser to post a bond guaranteeing any Judgement before appeal? IE The Defendant cannot bankrupt themselves via appeals thus depriving the Plaintiff of the judgement? Or as we like to think of it, the "Poison Pill that Killed Gawker".

If Meyers lawyer is working on contingency doesnt that make that unlikely?

We don't know what conditions Meyer's lawyer is working under.

What we do know, though, is he has as much money as he needs. That dude is funded.

It's not a bad strategy, I suppose. If they keep Meyer waiting for long enough, he might eventually run out of mon- oh wait

That strategy sure seemed to make more sense before the cavalry showed up, didn't it?

If Waid stalls this long enough for Meyer's funding to get low I'd definitely toss some money at another GFM simply on the basis that this has been highly entertaining and I don't want to get off this train yet.

You know how you know Meyer's dude is a professional (actually he has two)?

Look at Mark Zaid's public clownshoes behavior all over social media. That's how a fucking clown acts.

You hear anything from Meyer's lawyer other than on paper? Nope.

That is a professional.

What is this entry?

Yes.

Remember a company called Texaco? It literally ceased to exist after being unable to put up such a bond.

More likely just the actual personal jurisdiction issues related to the pending motion.

Like that whole Mark Waid committing blatant perjury thing.

Wouldn't this be the kind of thing they wouldn't want leave unopposed, or is there some subtlety to the term "unopposed" in legal jargon?
