Righthaven Desperately Trying To Avoid Paying Legal Fees

[Techdirt] The Righthaven saga continues. Just as it's lost in Colorado, and was told it needs to pay legal fees there as well, the company is still trying to get out of having to pay legal fees in the Hoehn case in Nevada.

As you may recall, Righthaven was ordered to pay legal fees of $34,045.50 by September 14th. It did not do so.

Following that, Hoehn's lawyer, Marc Randazza (whose name you're seeing a lot in these Righthaven cases), asked the court to declare Righthaven in contempt, and sought both to put the company into receivership and to allow US Marshals to seize property from Righthaven for its failure to pay.

In typical plodding fashion, Righthaven has still not paid up... but has filed a motion asking the appeals court to put off the district court's judgment, because it believes the ruling will be overturned (ha!) and having to pay up would cause irreparable harm.

The motion is worth reading. As with previous Righthaven motions we've seen, the company seems to think that mocking the district court judge is a reasonable strategy. You can feel the contempt for the judge in the filing, which I can't imagine will go over well.

#1 How does it feel now that the money taking lawyers are pounding on your door, asshole?

Fuck 'em. Seize their assets and throw the lawyers in jail for contempt.

#3 They are probably trying to conceal assets as fast as they can.

#9 For the money righthaven bilked the taxpayers out of while filing such frivolous lawsuits, they must pay and dearly. It's a wonder that they and Stevens Media are not held under RICO statutes.
