Lawfare
It's All Backed Up
15/02/16 12:49
Mr. Bill doesn't seem to understand that several people have been backing up his posts and tweets against the day that the defense of truth would be needed because of his silly claims of defamation.


Oh, That Rule 5(b1)!
13/01/16 05:54
From the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure …
Service - Certificate of Service. - A certificate of service shall accompany every pleading and every paper required to be served on any party or nonparty to the litigation, except with respect to pleadings and papers whose service is governed by Rule 4. The certificate shall show the date and method of service or the date of acceptance of service and shall show the name and service address of each person upon whom the paper has been served. If one or more persons are served by facsimile transmission, the certificate shall also show the telefacsimile number of each person so served. Each certificate of service shall be signed in accordance with and subject to Rule 11 of these rules.

Guess what Mr. Bill didn't include with his motion to dismiss the Palmer v. Schmalfeldt protective order petition.

Brett screwed up discovery in the state LOLsuit he lost in 2014. Looking at the stuff published at Hogewash, it seems that he tried to use it as a fishing expedition on matters unrelated to his case, and, of course, he was unsuccessful in his attempt at stonewalling the answers to the defendants' discovery. Does anyone know if he ever paid the sanction for diddling with discovery in that case?
He's dodged the discovery bullet so far in his first racketeering case. So far. It will be interesting to see what Patterico seeks.

There are interesting times ahead.

Brett's Titanic Error (MST3KU 86)
30/05/15 12:26
Brett has screwed up. He has tried to use Neal Rauhauser's theory of lawfare against the wrong people. He's finding that some media organizations are willing to go to the mat for the First Amendment, that there are dedicated lawyers willing to work pro bono to defend the First Amendment, and that some bloggers are willing to engage him as pro se litigants at low cost. Lawfare works in some cases because in some case the process becomes the punishment. Brett is seeing that turned back on him.


Karma is a Bitch
25/05/15 00:47
Mr. Bill has spent a decade or more being a jerk on the Interwebz. He's made no real friends and a substantial number of enemies. He has engaged in harassment and cyberstalking. He has engaged in defamation. He has filed false and malicious lawsuits. And now, he is upset because some of the few people who still follow his antics on the Twitterz and his blog du jour are giving him a weak dose of his own medicine.
We don't necessarily approve of everything that Mr. Bill's critics have done to give him back a little of what they've received, but we can say that we haven't seen much go by that Mr. Bill didn't deserve.
Like most other bullies, Mr. Bill is a cry baby when confronted, and his cry boils down to: "No fair. You hit me back."
Yes, Mr. Bill has been hit back. A little bit. Weakly. It would be wise for him to break off before someone decides to follow the advice about hitting back twice as hard.
It would be wise, but stupid is as stupid does.

One of the things Brett has sued so many people over is his being dropped from a State Department program because of truthful report about his being the Speedway Bomber. It's as if he thinks it was unreasonable for the State Department to be concerned about the optics of a convicted serial bomber training "activists" from the Middle East.


A Moment of Truth (MST3KU 63)

When Brett tried to control his reputation via lawfare, he managed to bluff a few people into submission, but the losses he's suffered (he's 0 for 3 against Hoge and 0 for 4 against Walker) show that he's pretty much a humbug.
Unlike the Wizard, Brett is not benign. He's shown that by including defendant's he had settled with in his appeal of his racketeering lawsuit. Not only is he a humbug, he's looks to be a backstabbing one.

Brett and his team of cyberstalking thugs can still engage in harassment. However, they're becoming more trouble than they're worth to those who once found them useful. Diddling with Twitter account now pretty much all they have left that works. Meanwhile, Brett's opposition has discovered that they are the ones with hearts and brains and courage.

A Pyrrhic Victory?

We are disappointed to hear that Mr. Bill wasn't found guilty of violating W. J. J. Hoge's peace order today. However, after reading Aaron Walker's account of the proceeding, we have the impression that Mr. Bill may not have helped his overall legal position by some of things he may have said in court today. It would be interesting to hear the Court audio. We may have to order a copy.

We weren't surprised by the outcome of today's trial. It seems that Team Kimberlin usually wins in the District Court in Maryland. Given Walker's comment about Hoge reopening the Circuit Court case, we wonder what Hoge has up his sleeve?

We can remember Team Kimberlin making fun of W. J. J. Hoge's use of res judicata during the hearing on Schmalfeldt's motion to amend the first peace order, but Hoge won. Aaron Walker, Stacy McCain, and Hoge also used res judicata as one element of their defenses against Brett's racketeering suit, saying that their earlier win in state court settled certain issues.
Now Brett wants to try his hand at using it to prevent Dan Backer and DB Capitol Strategies from seeking attorneys' fee in the racketeering case, but …

So Brett let the deadline to oppose Hogie-Wan's motion to dismiss the Electric Boogaloo racketeering lawsuit go by without filing anything with the court. We're guessing that he's figured out that his complaint is a disaster and that he's busy trying to put together an amended complaint. Also, after the same judge just bench slapped him over having Hoge in the first racketeering suit, Brett may have figured out that letting Hoge go saves his claim of the court having diversity jurisdiction. (Brett and Hoge both live in Maryland; diversity requires that no plaintiff live in the same state as any of the defendants.)

Or maybe Stacy McCain is right, and Brett is really The World's Worst Pro Se Litigant™.

If that's the case, the judge can now rule on those motions without short-circuiting any party's right to be heard.

While looking through the online docket of Brett's racketeering case on PACER, it doesn't take long before it's obvious that Brett believes "the rules" don't apply to him.

Grasping at Straws
05/02/15 21:40
Mr. Bill is grasping at straws, trying to find some way of "proving" that all of his contacts with W. J. J. Hoge in violation of the current peace order were forged or done by someone else or whatever the excuse-of-the-day he's trying to peddle.
He's now trying to show that there's an online prank service that sends the message Hoge received and that he had nothing to do with anything.

Here are a few points to consider:
1. Hoge has never introduced the voicemail into evidence in any proceeding. That Mr. Bill would get so spun up about it reminds us of the reference to Proverbs 28:1 at the end of the Johnny Atsign episodes.
2. Even if the call were routed through the prank call site, that doesn't mean that Mr. Bill isn't the voice actor who recorded it or that he didn't initiate the call to Hoge's phone.
3. We called Hoge's phone (as listed at Hogewash) and timed voicemail message to the point where the tone beeps. While that time is consistent with the gag call beginning as soon as the line picked up and running over Hoge's voice mail greeting, the voicemail message ending before the rest of the gag script plays is suspicious.
Of course, if could be that Sluggo told Mr. Hand to make the call to get Mr. Bill in trouble.

One of the defendants in Brett’s racketeering lawsuit is a journalist named Mandy Nagy. Ms. Nagy suffered a stroke last year and is slowly recovering.

Since Ms. Nagy is not able to participate in her own defense, Brett is seek to have her mother substituted as defendant on Ms. Nagy’s behalf.

Mr. Bill isn’t the only member of Team Kimberlin who’s lawfare is falling on hard times.

It’s something else to lose and be sanctioned—and the remaining defendants in the racketeering suit all seem to be looking for sanctions against Brett. Given that he has forged a summons and altered evidence, sanctions are a real possibility.

Brett’s loss in a Maryland state court last August didn’t seem to teach him the right lesson.

Now, he not only has no evidence, he has a settled lawsuit. We bet that Hoge won’t be the only defendant in the federal racketeering lawsuit who raises the doctrine of res judicata.

Does Brett Know Who He's Suing?
06/01/15 06:44
Does he even care? Or is it really random, unfocused terrorism just like the Speedway Bombings?

Brett was unable to shutdown Kimberlin Unmasked with his lawfare. He looks to be headed to a similar disaster in his bumbling attempt to identify “Ace.” His suit names a blog called “Ace of Spades.” The actual name of the blog we think he wanted to target is “Ace of Spades HQ,” and we think the anonymous blogger he wanted to target is called “Ace.” With no more amendments allowed to his complaint, he stuck suing what he sued originally, a possibly non-existent entity.
Brett has put the “Doh!” in John Doe.

Brett hasn’t won a single case he’s filed that made it to the Circuit Court in Montgomery County.

BTW, Brett was forced to drop his peace order petition against John Norton when it was appealed to the Circuit Court, and he lost the appeal of the protective order petition he filed against his wife.
And Another Thing—The common theme through all his losing lawsuits is claims presented without any evidence to back them.

Brett's Biggest Courtroom Error
29/12/14 11:13
There’s a year-in-review feature about Team Kimberlin going over at Hogewash, and the top story for August deals with Brett’s loss in the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. lawsuit. The post mentions that Glenn Reynolds opined that Brett biggest mistake was trying to outcrazy Stacy McCain. Here’s an excerpt from the trial transcript that supports Instapundit’s analysis.
After Brett tried unsuccessfully to introduce irrelevant information to try to paint McCain as a racist, Ali Akbar (who is black) used his cross examination of McCain to refute Brett’s innuendo. The following exchange occurred during Brett’s attempt at redirect examination.

BTW, Eric Johnson, the judge who heard the case, is black.

More Than Twice As Hard
26/12/14 00:02
Brett whined about his face being photoshopped onto a Nazi uniform in his nonsensical copyright lawsuit against the Original Kimberlin Unmasked. What has that lawsuit bought him? More Streisand Effect, that’s what.
Brett can sue, but he can’t hide his past. Brett can sue, but he can’t stop people from publicizing his present activities. Brett can sue, but he can’t win.

Brett didn’t like his face on a Hitler Youth uniform. No problem. We’ve promoted him to the big guy himself and made him the star of his own Downfall parodies. And his buddies are all getting supporting roles: Rauhauser as Goebbels, Mr. Bill as Bormann, Bunny Boy as Burgdorf, and others to follow.

The Real Problem

If you want to know what the real burr under Brett’s saddle is, you should read the transcript of the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. lawsuit and pay attention to the questions he asked his daughter when he put her on the stand.

Res Judicata
19/12/14 12:57
Imagine the scene in the Brettbunker (aka, Mom’s Basement) when Brett finds out that the legal doctrine of res judicata applies in his federal racketeering lawsuit to the defendants who beat him in state court. That doctrine says that once a matter is decided, it’s decided. Final decisions are final and not to be tried again in another court.


You Oughta Be in Pictures
18/12/14 00:48
Back in 2012, Brett claimed that a guy named John Norton had been lurking in the bushes around his mom’s house (where Brett lives in the basement) and that Norton had taken pictures of Brett and his daughter. Brett managed to get a peace order, but it was overturned on appeal when Brett withdrew his petition rather than have to testify under oath about what actually happened.
Brett is still lying about what happened.

It's Your Question
17/12/14 11:59
The transcript of the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. trial can be found online. It’s a very clear demonstration that reason Brett has lost almost all of this “over a hundred” lawsuits is that he has no idea how to effectively make his case before a judge or jury. Very early in his examination of Aaron Walker, he gave Walker a chance to explain why Brett’s case was phony.


What's In A Name?
16/12/14 23:31
Brett’s complaint names a blog called “Ace of Spades” as a defendant in his federal racketeering lawsuit. That has created a bit of a problem for him.


Brett's Burden of Proof
16/12/14 00:56
While reading through Brett’s recently filed opposition to the motions to dismiss his federal racketeering lawsuit, we were struck by his claim that the court should rule against the defendants because they have not proved their innocence.


Unsettling Settlements
14/12/14 03:43
Brett has filed and lost over a hundred lawsuits, so he probably understands that his federal racketeering lawsuit is as much a loser as the state case he filed against Aaron Walker, W. J. J. Hoge, Stacy McCain, Ali Akbar, and Kimberlin Unmasked. (That would be the Original Kimberlin Unmasked, not us.) He’s managed to con some of the federal defendants into settling with him, and he’s gained some shutuppery at the margins.
He wasn’t very smart in the way he structured his settlement with the two people he thought were the Original Kimberlin Unmasked. He asked for some stuff that they were willing to give him, but it turned out that he blew it. We don’t know the terms of that settlement, and, so far as we know, the alleged Original Kimberlin Unmasked people have lived up to their part of the bargain, but it’s clear from the existence of this blog and the revived @Kimberlinunmask Twitter account that Brett didn’t get what he really wanted.

We don’t have a dog, pro se or otherwise, in that fight, but we are rooting for one side over the other. We hope that the other defendants will stick it out until Brett’s lawfare is defeated. Meanwhile, we intend to have more fun at Brett’s expense and the expense of the other members of Team Kimberlin.

Brett’s sense of entitlement causes him to believe that any adverse statements made about him should be subject to legal sanctions.

Brett Whines Some More
13/12/14 15:46
A letter has surfaced that appears to be from Brett to the judge in his federal racketeering lawsuit. It isn’t shown on the case docket yet. In the letter Brett whines about Patterico commenting on the case on his blog and asks for sanctions. He tried the same trick earlier this year, and the judge told him he had no basis for his complaining.

Brett had lots of extra time (with the two extensions he was granted) to craft his omnibus opposition to the motions to dismiss his racketeering lawsuit. And yet, it seems to be a rushed and disjointed effort.

Brett may have filed over a hundred lawsuits, but he’s won almost none of them. His amazing inadvertent admission in his motion for a new trial in the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. case—that the defendants had published factual information about him—shows how poorly he plans. In order to prove his case, he must show that the defendants’ statements were false. But if they’re factual …

No wonder he’s such a loser.

Like Sands Through an Hourglass ...

Time is almost up for Brett to get his paperwork in to oppose the pile of motions to dismiss his racketeering lawsuit.

Last year, Brett moaned about having to get court papers filed during the Christmas holiday season. This year, the defendants will be the ones working through Christmas and New Year’s. Brett probably thinks that is some sort of victory.

Brett's Mental Well-Being

Poor Brett! He claims that the Defendants he is suing in his federal racketeering case have injured his mental well-being.

Brett has until until the court closes on Monday to file his opposition to all of the motions to dismiss his lawsuit. Since he has dismissed the suit (with prejudice) against the individuals he claimed were Kimberlin Unmasked and since we have not been served with anything, Kimberlin Unmasked no longer considers itself a party to the lawsuit. Still, we are interested, and we look forward to reading his not-to-exceed-50-page document.

Brett Kimberlin and the Meaning of "Is"
03/12/14 01:17
One of the major goals of Brett’s lawfare is to identify his perceived enemies who speak and write about him anonymously of pseudonymously. He has been after the blogger Ace who blogs at Ace of Spades HQ for several years. All this year, he has been outmaneuvered at every turn by Ace and his legal counsels. One problem that Brett has is that he identified the Ace of Spades blog rather than any person as the defendant in his RICO lawsuit.


Pro Se Dog Wants a New Trial
02/12/14 04:47
David Weigel reported that immediately after losing the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. trial last August, Brett proclaimed eternal lawfare against the defendants in that case. Since then, he has dropped that suit against the two individuals that he thought were the Original Kimberlin Unmasked, thinking that in doing so he would shutdown Kimberlin Unmasked. Brett is an even worse strategist than he is a lawyer.
He’s now trying to extend his lawfare against the other defendants. First, he appealed the case. Now, he’s asking for a new trial.

Even if you get a new trial, you’ll still have to find some admissible, probative evidence, Brett. Get ready to lose again. Motion, appeal, trial, whatever.

Come On, Pro Se, File Your Loco Motions

Brett Kimberlin has been cluttering up the docket of his racketeering lawsuit against the National Bloggers Club and 23 19 other defendants. He has been hit with ten or so motions to dismiss, and the judge has ordered him to file a single “omnibus” opposition memorandum. It was originally due in October, but it’s now due next Monday.
In recognitions of that deadline, Kimberlin Unmasked offers the following song parody. The words are by John Hoge. The first panel is from the Original Kimberlin Unmasked. Both are used without permission. The second panel of from the original site is not available, but we were able to find a cover version by Op-Critical.
