Has Robinson Announced His Defeat?

After losing his declaratory action in the Appellate Court, learning of his loss in the Appellate Court for attorney’s fees, losing all of the Dolores Press/Melissa Scott appeals, losing on the attorney’s fees in the District Court, terminating his attorneys, losing his motion for summary judgment, apparently being crushed by the reality of continuing pro se, presumably suffering increasing costs for every filing, and likely understanding that his FUMS fund cannot support his endeavor to have a court rule that his activity was not copyright infringement; finally, Robinson has filed bankruptcy in defeat. But can he escape the consequences of his actions so easily? 11 USC §523(a)(6) might have something different to say about it: “A discharge under section 727, 1141, 1192 [1] 1228(a), 1228(b), or 1328(b) of this title does not discharge an individual debtor from any debt - for willful and malicious injury by the debtor to another entity or to the property of another entity.”

Corporations Are in Default! Robinson’s Last Line of Defense Removed?

On July 16, 2020, the clerk of the court entered Default against the corporate entities: Doc’s Dream, LLC. and Truth Seekers, Inc. The Default was entered due to Doc’s Dream and Truth Seekers failure to secure new legal counsel, after Robinson terminated Carlos Leyva and Linda McAleer. The Court ordered the entities to “obtain new legal representation and file Notice of Appearance of Counsel no later than July 10, 2020… The Court further warned Corporate Defendants that failure to obtain new counsel and file a Notice of Appearance would result in Corporate Defendant’s Answers being stricken and their defaults entered.” The Corporate Defendants did not file a Notice of Appearance and the Court order the Answers stricken. This action by the Court reduces the list of defendants, who will be moving on to trial, to Robinson, Jones, Evans, and Pereida. Robinson’s corporate shields have been removed. He will now be on his own, answering for himself without being able to hide his actio

Attorneys Dismissed, Motion for Summary Judgment Denied! Is this the Beginning of the End?

In late May, Carlos Leyva and Linda McAleer filed a motion stating that they had been dismissed by the defendants: Doc’s Dream, LLC., Truth Seekers, Inc., Patrick Robinson, Bobbi Jones, et al. On June 25, the motion was granted, and the attorneys of record for defendants were dismissed. On the court’s own motion, a separate Order to Show Cause was served upon the Defendants, ordering Doc’s Dream, LLC. and Truth Seekers, Inc. to obtain new legal counsel no later than July 10, 2020. This is based upon Local Rule 83-2.2.2 regarding Organizations and their inability to represent themselves. If Defendants fail to comply with the court’s order, they will have their answers stricken and their defaults entered. This would result in a default judgment against the two corporate defendants, in Plaintiffs favor, and the two corporations’ fate will be in the Judge’s hands.   Before the attorneys for the defense were dismissed, they filed a motion for summary judgment (MSJ). A party will file th

The first domino has fallen!

On Tuesday, May 26, 2020, the Appellate Commissioner issued its ruling on the attorney’s fees related to the defeated appeal brought by Doc’s Dream, LLC., et al.   The award was for sixty thousand, five hundred twenty and twenty-five cents ($60,520.25). This represents 100% of the amount requested by Dolores Press, Inc., et al. The Appellate Commissioner explained that the reason for this ruling was due to Doc’s Dream counselors, Carlos Leyva and Linda McAleer, failure to rebut the reasonableness of the amount requested. Doc’s Dream argued that Dolores Press was not entitled to attorney’s fees but did not oppose the amount. As stated previously, the appellate court ruled that Dolores Press is entitled to its reasonable attorney's fees. This left the Appellate Commissioner the burden of finding the reasonableness of the fees. The Commissioner decided that the amount requested by Dolores Press’ attorneys was reasonable.   Furthermore, the order will be served on the distric
