I am not a lawyer and really know nothing about the law, other than I follow what is generally published as statue. So with that said, you clearly can financially overwhelm the plaintiff with a counter lawsuit, correct? I mean, he is saying you besmirched his name, but can't you say the same about what he is doing? I mean your name is in the media now because of him, presumably affecting future opportunities. I dunno, this is one avenue I no nothing about.
So, what that tells me is that someone who works in attorney's office either 1) typed the pleading for him or 2) sent him the digital document to adapt to this case. Just look up the aforementioned case and you can see who the counsel is. See which law firm used the same person for the proof of service and bingo, you have that firm. Your attorney will know what to do with that information. If he had time to get someone to do this, he had time to get new counsel.
We know who the attorney is. His office sent the paperwork to my attorney and Veronica's attorney, but oddly hasn't officially signed on the represent Postle. Additionally, the filing claims that Postle has not yet found an attorney, and he signs everything "In Pro Per" (representing himself).
The attorney is not one who was previously associated with Postle in other cases, and is located in Sacramento.
We are guessing Postle called a random attorney and asked for help putting together this paperwork, on a consulting basis, rather than retaining him.
I don't know if any of the other defendants even hired lawyers. Nobody was served. Veronica and I went (separately) on the offensive, by hiring attorneys, auto-accepting service, and filing an anti-SLAPP.
I didn't want this shit hanging over me for eternity while Postle plays games. I took immediate action to extricate myself from this frivolous BS suit. We will see the result on March 18 (or later, if his continuance request succeeds).
BUMP
Case delayed again. The judge in the case ruled that Postle gets another 30 days. He wanted 120, the judge gave 30 (actually 33, but close enough).
New date for both anti-SLAPPs (mine and Veronica) is April 20.

Mike Postle has dismissed his case without prejudice as to all defendants. Too bad that doesn't discharge him from owing attorney's fees now. Good example of a day late and a dollar short.
I wonder what @dwai thinks about all this? Has the "woke" left cancelled Mike Postle?
Keep in mind two things:
- Postle asked for this to be dismissed without prejudice. Therefore, he could file the case again at any point in the future.
- We already had asked for a dismissal (though WITH prejudice) during the mandatory settlement conference, which is at the beginning of each case in California. We agreed to not go after him for any attorney's fees if he would dismiss with prejudice at that point. He refused, and moved forward with the case. Shortly after, we filed the anti-SLAPP.
So dismissing it at the 11th hour, after attorney's fees have been run up on my end, isn't going to fly here.
Radio was to be delayed until Saturday, because I am preparing for my next-morning fantasy baseball draft tonight.
However, I will do a short emergency radio segment tonight with Eric Bensamochan about this dismissal, and what we plan to do next.
I will also replay the segment tomorrow during radio, for those who missed it.
Geez - f n Postle.
