News Nuggets: Wine Spectator Awards, science news, local July 4 celebrations, more – San Diego Union-Tribune https://www.diningandcooking.com/2717054/news-nuggets-wine-spectator-awards-science-news-local-july-4-celebrations-more-san-diego-union-tribune/ #BirdRock #california #LaJolla #LaJollaLight #LaJollaLightNews #LaJollaShores #SanDiego #SanDiegoCounty #Wine

Judge Gayles (SDFL) denies the #Birdrock motion for fees, finding that Birdrock isn't a prevailing party, that this isn't an exceptional case, and that "Plaintiff has not engaged in unreasonable or vexatious conduct."

But he rule that Birdrock is entitled to recover the money posted as a bond due to "Plaintiff's lack of diligence in identifying Birdrock as a party and restraining its assets."

The bond is $10k.

Looks like the cormorants have formed a council on the high rock, the pelicans are staying clear, they know this will not end well.

Okay, so we've seen #ScheduleA plaintiffs argue that a defendant is lying about its own location before. See, e.g., the Austin, Texas arguments in the #BirdRock case.

But wow. This is....a choice:

Unsurprisingly, Ningbo doesn't want to do a hearing on #BirdRock 's motion for fees:

BirdRock has filed its reply in support of its motion for fees: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.626222/gov.uscourts.flsd.626222.69.0.pdf

"It is now apparent from its responses to the Motions, including Plaintiff’s counsel’s new declaration—that Plaintiff’s representations that BirdRock was a Chinese infringer—was not based upon good cause. Instead, it was based solely on Plaintiff’s bias, stereotypes and unfounded assumptions."

Ningbo has responded to BirdRock's motion for fees (as you might imagine, Ningbo is opposed): https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.626222/gov.uscourts.flsd.626222.61.0.pdf

This brief is really good: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.626222/gov.uscourts.flsd.626222.56.0.pdf

It remains to be seen whether this judge will be moved or, as in #GorgeDesign, will just reject it all out of hand.

Oh, wow, they went there:

"There is also good reason to believe that the Plaintiff and its law firm have agreed to pursue this case on a contingent fee basis, and that such arrangement may have motivated the improper conduct identified herein."

One of the defendants, Waxman Sales (d/b/a BirdRock Home) is fighting back in a mass #ScheduleA case over snow brushes.

And they hired K&L Gates.
