makes you so wistful while at the same time showing you exactly (((who))) took that all away from us

also, he should have won a big settlement at the very least. globohomo shrew judge should be shot

Like everything on Netflix they spread out a story that can be told in an hour over 4 hours. Could have cut most of the Avenatti stuff.

I remember Kimba Wood and Nanny-gate.

I don't know how you can get summary judgment before the kid got a chance to take depositions.

They spent like half an hour on the Indian shit instead of spending 10 minutes more on the lawsuit. Did his lawyers drop the ball with regard to discovery-- why weren't they taking depos within a few months of the filing of the case?

Not to distract from the great xo minds above arguing about 1L contracts but here’s the SJ decision.

Have not made it very far, but holy shit, is ZZZ a time traveler

In response to PepsiCo's suit in New York, Leonard brought suit in Florida state court on August 6, 1996, although this case had nothing to do with Florida.[4]

[4] The Florida suit alleged that the commercial had been shown in Florida. Not only was this assertion irrelevant, in that plaintiff had not actually seen the commercial in Florida, but it later proved to be false. See Leonard v. PepsiCo, 96-2555 Civ.-King, at 1 (S.D.Fla. Nov. 6, 1996) ("The only connection this case has to this forum is that Plaintiff's lawyer is in the Southern District of Florida.").

Anyway, apparently Pepsi sued first in NY for declaratory judgement, which caused ZZZ Sr to sue in state court in Florida (subsequently removed and 1404d to Judge Wood).

The declaratory judgment action was then dismissed, so harrier kid attempted to voluntarily dismiss his action, but the court first award 88k in attorneys fees to Pepsi because ZZZ Sr wasted everyone’s time with the Florida state suit.

Harrier kid then withdrew his withdrawal and they went to summary judgment

Not a lawyer. In the documentary they say that Pepsi sued Leonard first (strategically to get a favorable venue in SDNY). How can they sue him? What did they sue him for?
