(Reuters) -A U.S. appeals court on Thursday refused to revive Michael Avenatti’s $250 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News Network over its coverage of the 2018 arrest of the now-imprisoned celebrity lawyer and critic of Donald Trump.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia rejected Avenatti’s claim that his case belonged in a Delaware state court because he added a new defendant from his home state of California, depriving the federal judge who dismissed the lawsuit last August of jurisdiction.
Avenatti sued Fox News, part of Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corp, in November 2020, saying its extensive coverage of his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, including false statements that he was also charged, was a malicious effort to destroy his reputation.
A week later, after Fox News moved the case to federal court from Delaware Superior Court, Avenatti added correspondent Jonathan Hunt as a defendant over the same alleged defamation, and soon tried moving the case back. more
That’s what you get for being a snake lawyer. Another win for Trump. I wonder how Trump got hooked up with Stormy and the snake (sounds like a rock band). They’re the type that Humper hangs with.
The term: CPL stands!
Not only that, but it needs to be tatooed on his forehead!
He could’ve had a helluva commissary account in prison with all that.
Anyone could see his case was nothing more than a naked cash grab, but it was a bit too much when he showed in court with no clothes on!
“was a malicious effort to destroy his reputation.”
ROFLMFAO, dude, your rep is all bad.
Seems like Democrat presidential material to me…
It’s hard to defame a piece of shit.
Obviously not an Obama-appointed judge.
No loss or punishment is too little for that faggot.
Burn in hell scumbag.
