What do you mean, Chupp is always right, LawTwitter told me so. Negative online reviews of services are clearly defamatory. I sure hope @Ron Toye isn't sued for all the times he insinuated that restaurants and businesses don't know his personal fucking fiancee is THE Monica Rial.
It's also 100% correct that MoRon is only owed $125,000 against their bill of $282,000. Who cares if it was declared a SLAPP with the purpose of financially burdening the defendants? They don't deserve the money because Chupp said so!
A slight historical note here. SLAPP is at least supposedly based in the concept of frivolous litigation in general, where a bad state of mind was necessary to prove concepts like malicious prosecution or vexatious litigation. The party found liable for such things had to have an actual subjective state of mind indicating malice, rather than simply advancing a frivolous argument.
The crazy doesn't stop there. There was no evidence the husband posted anything about their business, yet he somehow lost his motion to dismiss. All of the Yelp reviews were written by the wife. Chupp apparently liked the plaintiff's argument that they were both liable because she wrote "we" in her posts. The court of appeals did not.
What has the vacuum done to you to deserve Chupp?
This is another of Chupp's core incompetencies, making factual findings completely out of thin air without even a scintilla of evidence of record supporting them, e.g., Ron Toye is an independent contractor of Funimation, which he has no business relationship with whatsoever, despite the fact that no party even claimed this and it wasn't even relevant to anything.
It becomes relevant once he deems it to be so, the universe is one large courtroom and Chupp will determine our TCPA pleas in the afterlife.
All I can imagine now is Chupp as Osiris, but instead of weighing people's hearts against a feather of truth, he mistakenly uses his own faeces.
No, no, if you look at his record with that filter I think @AnOminous is right. He enters his courtroom and sets out to do everything wrong, exactly wrong, on purpose, to send a message. I don't know what that message is, but he is the anti-judge who wanted to be the anti-appeal, but he wrote his application for appeals the way he writes his opinions. With absolute blistering incompetence.
The message is that none of us should trust the legal system to successfully and accurately resolve our problems. Chupp hates his job so much he hates the entire framework of the law and wants all laypeople to look upon his work and know the horror of the system that not only allows him to continue but enables him to do it with such fervent contempt for the innocent people it destroys.
I would believe he were the hero playing the villain except for his "I AM A JUDGE" answer, which clearly shows either a deranged dedication to wrongness, or mind melting incompetence. If the latter, then he is not play-acting the horror of the system, but a product of it. The slime that oozes under the court's doorway due to their broken and derelict system.
Too early man. Check back tonight or tomorrow, then same time next week. It's released Thursday evening, not morning.Come back next Thursday
I would pay reasonable money to see this actually happen.
