No way Orly follows any of those rules... but it never seems to matter.

To avoid confuzelement, could the topic title be changed to show that this is the anti-SLAPP appeal ?

Edit: Thank you kindly.

Is it?

I don't believe that has been specified by the worst lawyer in the universe.

Just as an academic endeavour, and, for the purpose of discussion only, under the assumption that Orly makes no formal mistakes (never happens) on filing:

(1) Would this appeal be discarded as moot cause there is already a First Amended Complaint in the docket of the lower court ? Can Berg just point to this fact or would he have to go thru a whole long proceeding ?

(2) Just pretending that Orly would, for whatever reasons the doGs were to let the weathers turn, get a positive reply in Appellate Court, would such an outcome also stick to the FAC ? How far would Judge Guilford be bound on a new anti-SLAPP ruling on the FAC by the reply on the original complaint (I guess he would need to take such a reply as a guideline) ?

That was my thought as well, Stern, and why I did not originally designate it such nor edit the title, but...

What has been seen, cannot be unseen.

(But I can change back the title of a thread.)

No; Berg and Taitz (excuse me, DOFF) will be duking this out in the 9th. A best-case scenario (for the courts, and defendants) is that the trial court dismisses the entire complaint, plaintiffs appeal, and the appeals are consolidated by the 9th. In that case, the 9th would likely end up dismissing DOFF's appeal as moot.

If by some chance the 9th ruled the trial court erred in denying DOFF's anti-SLAPP motion, on remand one would presume the other defendants would file similar anti-SLAPP motions to the operative complaint. The trial court would hope the 9th would provide some guidance as to the contours in its ruling, but if it did not, the trial court would make a best guess.

Federal appellate courts require:

Quote:

A proportionally spaced face must include serifs, but sans-serif type may be used in headings and captions. A proportionally spaced face must be 14-point or larger.

FRAP 32(a)(5)(A).

That's what I'd like to know. No way Taitz wrote this.

Also, Taitz calling herself a "political dissident" is an insult to real political dissidents, and cheapens the idea of political dissent generally.

I think there should be a Federal Rule of Birfer Procedure that requires all briefs to be in the repulsive Comic Sans. Just having to read them should entitle the adverse party to sanctions.
