Time for the Popehat Signal — a call for pro bono help for a deserving person threatened with an utterly contemptibly bogus defamation case in federal court in New York. The defendant — a victim of vexatious bad-faith prosecution — is being sued for writing about the plaintiff’s prior bogus case./1
@lawyer4good.bsky.social could you maybe show this to Pamela and ask if she knows someone who could help?
/2 The plaintiff is Gideon Rapaport, a recent law grad and FedSoc member, whose prior pro se complaint represented a tour de force in the genre of “why you should never hire, nor ideally talk to, Gideon Rapaport.” abovethelaw.com/2023/08/form...
There's a real defamation claim in there... and also a whole lot of random.
Doesn't NY have anti-SLAPP statute?
Send me lawyer, case, judge details—I might be able to help.
