I took a look at Chillie's $5M lawsuit against the Las Vegas Police, including the department and the State of Nevada. His legal skill is improving, and that's to be expected. You improve through practice. He attempted to recuse the federal judge (denied), filed a "preliminary injunction" (which clearly was going nowhere with all of the mistakes) to stop the criminal trial in Department 8 of the Justice Court (denied), filed a motion for reconsideration of the denial of the preliminary injunction (denied), filed an appeal with the Ninth Circuit (denied). He is now on his second amended complaint ("2AC"). The defendants filed a Rule 12b(6) motion to dismiss, and it was partially granted. In the new 2AC, Chillie has pleading problems. His biggest obstacle is that he added a "defamation" claim, which opens the door to the anti-SLAPP motion. These require mandatory payment of legal fees for each defendant that prevails, and there could be several such motions. This is a huge potential problem for him, as the legal fees could be enormous. We'll have to see if those motions are filed. No doubt there will be more attack 12(b)(6) motions filed. For instance, it is never a good idea to just call everyone "Defendants" in a pleading. This sweeps in every defendant, even if they had nothing to do with the claim or the injury, and this draws more motions to attack the pleadings.
