Not sure if this is really the move for Lively. Liman seemed pissed at Freedman last week, where you could see how this was the best time to possibly get sanctions if you're ever going to try... OTOH, this is also producing more of the pointless bickering that Liman was pissed about, so I am not sure that they are doing themselves a great favor. It's basically another MTD which is what Wayfarer's attorneys argued in their letter response (it's the last exhibit).

What I also think is interesting in Wayfarer's response is they basically shrug it off with "we'll just amend" and again pretty much imply they take for granted the judge will just let them know how to replead and allow them to do it (the Lively motion argues this "wait and see" approach means claims should be dismissed with prejudice).

So maybe this is less about really getting sanctions and more about providing fodder to push for things to get dismissed wit prejudice (and honestly, I don't think Liman needs them to do that on his behalf!) and getting Freedman's MSG deposition statement into the record, which, whatever, that's fine but Lively's attorneys come off as kind of legal nerds who are playing checkers by the rules while Freedman is throwing Swift's name out there in an irresponsible way but one which gets a lot of the media attention he wants. Even if they get the sanctions which is unlikely, it's like, ok, and...? [/quote]
