#Cockygate Take Two: This Time It’s Judicial: http://legalinspiration.com/?p=538
Hello, friends!
Well, it’s been a weird ride. And although it seems like it’s been forever, in Federal court case terms, it’s been a fairly short one. Yesterday Faleena Hopkins and Hop Hop Productions filed a Motion to Dismiss with Prejudice in Hop Hop Productions Inc. v. Kneupper et al:
Motion to Dismiss – Hop Hop Productions Inc. v. Kneupper et al
If the judge grants the motion, and he almost certainly will, this means is that neither plaintiff (Ms. Hopkins or her company Hop Hop Productions) can file another lawsuit against the same defendants for the same legal causes of action based on the same facts. (That’s the “with prejudice” part.)
So is the #Cockygate closed? Will our sexy roosters now stay safely within the barnyard of alpha romance tales?
Maybe.
