2. Get called out on shady shite
3. Claim you weren't going to do shady shite
4. Sue people calling you out on shady shite
5. Profit?

How can his hold up in court? I realize she has hired a scum bag attorney who has zero shame like her. But someone please chime in and tell me that any judge with an ounce of common sense would throw this in the garbage.

This has Anti-SLAPP written all over it. Here is our Anti-SLAPP statute:

quote:

Art. 971. Special motion to strike

A.(1) A cause of action against a person arising from any act of that person in furtherance of the person's right of petition or free speech under the United States or Louisiana Constitution in connection with a public issue shall be subject to a special motion to strike, unless the court determines that the plaintiff has established a probability of success on the claim.

(2) In making its determination, the court shall consider the pleadings and supporting and opposing affidavits stating the facts upon which the liability or defense is based.

(3) If the court determines that the plaintiff has established a probability of success on the claim, that determination shall be admissible in evidence at any later stage of the proceeding.

B. In any action subject to Paragraph A of this Article, a prevailing party on a special motion to strike shall be awarded reasonable attorney fees and costs.

C. The special motion may be filed within sixty days of service of the petition, or in the court's discretion, at any later time upon terms the court deems proper. The motion shall be noticed for hearing not more than thirty days after service unless the docket conditions of the court require a later hearing.

D. All discovery proceedings in the action shall be stayed upon the filing of a notice of motion made pursuant to this Article. The stay of discovery shall remain in effect until notice of entry of the order ruling on the motion. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph, the court, on noticed motion and for good cause shown, may order that specified discovery be conducted.

E. This Article shall not apply to any enforcement action brought on behalf of the state of Louisiana by the attorney general, district attorney, or city attorney acting as a public prosecutor.

F. As used in this Article, the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

(1) "Act in furtherance of a person's right of petition or free speech under the United States or Louisiana Constitution in connection with a public issue" includes but is not limited to:

(a) Any written or oral statement or writing made before a legislative, executive, or judicial proceeding, or any other official proceeding authorized by law.

(b) Any written or oral statement or writing made in connection with an issue under consideration or review by a legislative, executive, or judicial body, or any other official body authorized by law.

(c) Any written or oral statement or writing made in a place open to the public or a public forum in connection with an issue of public interest.

(d) Any other conduct in furtherance of the exercise of the constitutional right of petition or the constitutional right of free speech in connection with a public issue or an issue of public interest.

(2) "Petition" includes either a petition or a reconventional demand.

(3) "Plaintiff" includes either a plaintiff or petitioner in a principal action or a plaintiff or petitioner in reconvention.

(4) "Defendant" includes either a defendant or respondent in a principal action or a defendant or respondent in reconvention.

Per the Advocate:

quote:

LSU law professor Elizabeth Carter, who specializes in successions and trusts, has been closely following the dispute between Amar and the Plummer family. Looking over the typo-filled lawsuit Thursday evening, Carter said it was not a smart move for Amar to file it.

"Her reputation was already so damaged from things she did that had nothing to do with the succession, I think that would be difficult to show as well," Carter said.


These people have no shame.

Her mother is a judge in EBR. Does anyone know which judge was assigned the case? Obviously it's (probably) not her mother.


It was actually alloted to Janice Clark. She will recuse herself. I wouldn't be suprised if all 8 civil judges that sit on the bench at the 19th recused themself also.

Her mother is just as bad as her. Do you REALLY think she will recuse herself? If I had to bet, half the reason she filed this lawsuit was to be in her mother's court.

She will. There is no gray area. Janice does a lot of stuff I don't care for/agree with but she will recuse herself here. Again I'd bet the farm she does.

I like that part. Haha.

Also, wouldn't this open her up to being questioned under oath about things not necessarily directly related to the civil suit to which she may not want out and may, therefore, perjure herself?
