Motion To Delay Sanctions Against Prenda Lawyers Denied
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/13/05/20/2243230/motion-to-delay-sanctions-against-prenda-lawyers-denied
Slashdot's copy:
"On Friday, Paul Hansmeier, a Minnesota attorney who has been pointed to as one of the masterminds of the Prenda copyright-trolling scheme, filed an emergency motion to stay the $81,000 sanctions order while he and his colleagues could mount an appeal. Today the appeals court flatly denied his motion. Two appellate judges signed this order, and it gives Hansmeier the option to make a plea for delay with the district court judge. That would be U.S. District Judge Otis Wright, the judge who sanctioned Hansmeier in the first place. Hansmeier is also getting kicked off a case he was working on that was totally unrelated to Prenda's scheme of making copyright accusations over alleged pornography downloads.
On Friday, the 9th Circuit Commissioner ordered Hansmeier, in no uncertain terms, to withdraw a the case involving Groupon since he has been referred to the Minnesota State Bar for investigation. The commissioner has delayed Hansmeier's admission to the 9th Circuit because of Wright's order, which refers to Wright's finding of 'moral turpitude.'"

A rather funny update:

followed by:
"Update 7pm CET: A Comcast spokesperson responded to an inquiry we sent to the company’s lawyers:
“I am replying to let you know that the cease and desist was sent in error, and you may disregard it. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.”
As in "The Big Bad Internet made us look like fools, so we'll back down, but it would have worked if it hadn't gone viral, ya know".
