CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens
- Thread starter jespah
- Start date
Actually I wish Jon success with his first film.
His choice of latching onto something that looked like two sumo wrestlers facing off before the big match just as the lights go out is somewhat suspect but maybe he'll get it right and show Alex how a film should really be made.
Jon has always been open minded about my work and I can only return the same sentiment.
So Come on Jon, Break a leg or a Nacelle or whatever they do in the Axanar universe.
I would have nothing against him or his film, if he weren't letting Alec take control of it and make decisions for him. I suspect the $8000 worth of wardrobe will wind up with Ares Studios and that is a bait and switch. I also think requiring Lane to have custom uniforms made by the same guy Alec was going to use is unfairly inflating his budget.
Early TOS, Generations, Kelvin Trek, Discovery etc. have shown that Starfleet can have 2 concurrent uniform designs for different ships/assignments, so there's no need to spend extra for Alex Peters Approved™ unis.
Also, most of the cast will be sitting in chairs and hidden behind computer desks. Do they all need the official Axapants and Axaboots? Nope.

He’s busy digging up da dirt
You can't rollerskate with a buffalo turd.
We also saw the Season 1/2 TNG uniforms on background people in the later seasons, and TNG uniforms were still occasionally spotted in later seasons of DS9.
geeze... so Peters is dumb enough to admit he only filed suit in Georgia to strong arm RMB into a settlement and is now pissed that he got his bluff called and is still holding onto the wrong notion that he won a default judgement.
Maybe Alec's lawyer in CA will actually talk to RMB's lawyer this time.
If I'm wrong I'll say so, but I think this whole SL movie thing is driven by AP taking the reins behind the scenes. AP has shown that the one thing he is good at is manipulating people, and I think SL might be naive enough to let AP drive the ship. Right into the ground. Again.
I don’t understand how there could be a default judgement without the issue of whether or not Georgia is the right venue has been resolved. Didn’t RMB’s lawyers put in a motion to dismiss? That hardly sounds like not responding to a suit.
It appears that the plaintiff would have been entitled to a default judgment if the complaint had been properly served. As reported above, the court clerk confirmed that service was improper (among other things, the defendants name was incorrectly spelled); in any event, the lack of personal jurisdiction argument could still of been made even if the default judgment had entered.
But, if I understood it correctly, a default judgement would come if there’s no response. Isn’t the motion regarding jurisdiction a response?
It’s all moving so slowly. I’m used to justice moving at the speed of Judge Judy.
Justice in a half hour or less.
I think you did understand this correctly. The general rule is that the defendant has x days to respond to complaint. Failing to file a timely response risks entry of a default judgment.
In this case, it appears that defendant wasn’t properly served. That means the clock didn’t start running.
There’s also a bigger substantive issue: whether the court had personal jurisdiction over the defendant. In other words, did RMB have sufficient minimum contacts with Georgia such that he could reasonably expect to be sued there. He argued they didn’t; it seems that AP move to dismiss the case before a ruling was issued.
A motion challenging a default judgment is often based on lack of personal jurisdiction. This response does not answer the complaint directly (i.e. admits or denies the allegations), but rather asks the court to set aside the default judgment.
Sued in the morning, trial and verdict before dinner. TV is cool.
Jon is a big boy, he has blogged about fan films for as long as I can remember.
All I can think is he sees something through the keyhole I don't.
OMG... not another hatpin!
The normal rule is that you have to answer within so many days or you can get a default judgement. However, it is not automatic on day 31. Plantiff stiff has to file for it and it has to be approved by the judge. That never happened.
Second, judges don't like default judgements since the defendent never got their day in court so a lot of time even if you get a default judgement you can make a motion to get it overturned and judges in general are going to be very lenient on stuff like that or if like in this case the answer comes in a few days late - the judge will be unhappy but they are not going to do a "you were 6 hours late in your answer so plantiff wins" any more so then they would be a "the police misspelled your name so your ticket is thrown out". When errors are made judges typically like to give chances to fix them vs "you lose because of a technicality".
It was a technically it was late but it looks like the judge was going to accept it anyway and with a defendant on the other side of the country they are likely going to get some extra leway because of that with many judges.
Thanks. But I guess I’m still confused why Peters is claiming a default. Isn’t a motion an answer to the lawsuit? We all have read RMB’s motion for dismissal. Isn’t that a response? How can anyone claim there’s a default judgement for a lack of response when literally there’s a response?
I’m not a lawyer by training but...
