I want this lawsuit to move forward, just so it can start wrapping up.... Isn't there some sort of time limit for Alec? Like... he has to file the proof the suit got served... can that just be left open indefinitely? At some point the court has to step in and do SOMETHING.

And what's with his lawyer not doing anything? I wonder if he isn't doing anything because there's no money to be paid...

I'm thinking AP's lawyer bailed.
 
Excuse me, I need a little help here.
Perhaps Madam Justice would know.
If you file a civil suit, serve the named defendant, have a court date and the defendant is a no show. Does the not the judge award the case to the plaintiff?
I know on the west coast, Family Law and Traffic court works that way, never been in civil court yet.

Yep, there would be a default judgment against you. Fortunately, defaults are pretty easy to reopen, particularly if you act in a timely manner (which is deliberately vague, but we're generally talking less than a year and probably more like less than 3 months after you were supposed to answer). Insurance companies default all the damned time because the wrong office gets served and then the paperwork gets stuck in the mail room in Dubuque or wherever. So most courts won't be hard asses about reopening a default.

At the same time, the assigned judge will likely take note of such behavior when it's not a large corporation in the mix. With an insurance carrier (or sports team or oil company, university, hospital, whatever, take your pick of large institution), then a delay is understandable. It's also understandable if a layman is acting pro se. It may or may not be understandable if the defense team aren't in the state of service.

And I'm not saying there won't be a reopening of a default judgment most of the time. It's more that if a presumably competent local law firm with experience defaults, then a judge, while sworn to be impartial of course, would be blind not to notice what is either a rousing display of incompetency or, as they say in baseball, defensive indifference.

With his lawsuit stalled, and his lawyer refusing to respond to correspondence from a defense lawyer, Axanar producer Alec Peters flew into a rage April 29, 2019, when Robert Meyer Burnett’s attorney took an unusual tack to push for a settlement in the case..........

Holy crap, Mr. Peters is delusional if he believes a CA Civil Judge would look at what he's presented as an "iron clad" case. Hell, said Judge would probably advise him to either get an attorney who ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS Civil Litigation, or start LISTENING TO and USING one he has engaged (as it's clear that's one thing Mr. Peters isn't doing, either listening to or actually USING any attorney he may have engaged - and given the one Mr. Peters claims to have engaged isn't/hasn't responded in any way to Mr. Burnett's attorney - one wonders if Mr. Peters still has an actual attorney engaged here.)

It's also hilarious how Mr. Lane (who seems to be married to an Employment Litigation attorney, who advised him to STAY OUT OF and disconnect from this whole mess); who claims he's NOT an attorney, STILL goes ahead and offers his own analysis and advice on Mr. Peters settlement offer, and while he agrees Mr. Peters claim of digital assets is over broad - because Mr. Lane too considers himself an editor, he doesn't see how Peters could make a true complete list...

Well, as someone who's done occasional off line and on line editing in conjunction with a professional editor for some of my fan projects in the past (the last time I did something to that effect it was 2009) - it just means that Mr. Peters and Mr. Lane are BOTH incompetent Producers and editors, as you always LOG your material to make sure you HAVE everything needed for an edit session (and if you're paying for certain elements to be produced you also log and sign off on what you're asking for. Peters should at least have a list of what scenes he asked to be rendered and composited by Mr. Burnett; and that's the list he should go by. Mr. Burnett can then state what the status of any given scene/element was and ;provide what he still has in his possession (if anything) or somehow show that he already turned over copies of everything requested.

If Mr. Peters doesn't have such a list, it just goes to further show he HAS NO CLUE on how to actually "Produce" anything in either a professional or even semi-professional manner; and really doesn't have the first clue of how to properly go about bringing together all the required elements and finishing such a production.

He's about as good of a "Producer/Editor By Training" as he is a "Lawyer By Training".

Same goes for Mr. Johnathan Lane; who won't even listen or enact good advice given by his OWN WIFE, who actually IS a Lawyer. :guffaw:

I'm amazed people on Patreon continue to give either of these idiots further funds at this point.:confused:
 
BTW, did anyone tell Peter's Patreon supporters that are now paying for his legal battles? When you getting money from people who do ZERO due diligence, I guess you may feel empowered to start these legal battles.

Will still be better than and come out before Axanar.

The catch is it'll be about the length of all three Lord Of The Rings extended cuts put together.

Which would make it agaist the guidelines.

Is there ANY chance that Lane can keep a film inside the 30 minute guidelines?
 
It sounds like Rob (or at least his legal counsel) has his ducks in a row and the noose *might*, just *might* begin to be tightening around LFIM.....

It's becoming relevant. Lane just stated today that his new fan film is going to be set in the "Axanar Universe" and is going to use the bridge set.

Of course Lane isn't subject to the settlement so he can publically crowdfund...

Nope.. nothing shady going on here. move along.

A little Scotts Miracle Gro should do nicely

LOL.......I'm sure by now enough people know that Lane and LFIM are connected. With a shrinking donor base, no professional help and plenty of acrimony to go around, I doubt this will get far.
