Singer Wants His Venue to Be Moved to Mississippi

Singer Wants His Venue to Be Moved to Mississippi

garth brooks The ‘We Will Be Free’ singer wasted no time in making her next move today as Trisha Yearwood moved from California state court to federal court after taking the rape case from a former make-up artist and stylist to herself.

In a 17-page motion to dismiss filed late Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, attorneys for Brooks and O’Melveny & Myers now want Jane Roe’s West Coast case to be brought to an end as soon as possible. They requested a hearing on the matter before Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald in downtown Los Angeles on the morning of December 9th.

Identified by name by Brooks In a document filed Oct. 8 in federal court in Mississippi.the former employee claimed:highly graphic and with income of more than $75,000 Case for unspecified damages claimed on October 3 The “Friends in Low Places” singer was the victim of an overwhelmingly “painful and traumatic” attack, the Los Angeles Superior Court heard.

Jane Roe’s lawyer, Doug Wigdor, stated that Brooks took advantage of her with constant groping, obscene words and more starting from 2019, because he knew how much Jane Roe needed to work, and said, “Brooks believes that she has the right to sexual satisfaction whenever she wants. and it is fair game for a female employee to take advantage of this situation.”

Brooks, who has denied the accusations and the claim that his previous appeal in Mississippi was “a blatant attempt to further control and bully the sexual assault victim by using his multimillionaire resources to game the legal system,” said the matter quickly came crashing down to destroy him. “Write a check for millions of dollars.”

Going back to the original anonymous lawsuit that Brooks himself preemptively filed in mid-September, the county singer today also wants all cases moved to Mississippi and refiled Jane Roe’s lawsuit as a countersuit. As the thunder rolls, a one-two move by Brook’s attorneys, Daniel Petrocelli (who seems to have been on big cases from big names and big studios for the past few years), Megan K. Smith and Eric Amdursky, is putting their manicured thumbs on precedent in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Long law short: Brooks’ team insists their client files in the Magnolia State on September 13, and Jane Roe files in the Golden State on October 3 like that “duplicate case.”

Today’s motion states that the Federal Rule “requires that all ‘permanent counterclaims’ (claims based on the same essential facts as Roe’s) be litigated in the first action filed and not in a parallel action in another court.” “Thus, if a plaintiff moves these claims outside of the original lawsuit, the court presiding over the subsequent lawsuit must either dismiss the claims or stay them while the original lawsuit is pending,” he continues.

“Roe also acknowledges that the cases overlap,” Brooks’ lawyer said.

“In fact, a few days after Brooks’ attorney met with Roe’s attorney to discuss this Motion to Dismiss, Roe filed a motion asking the court in the Southern District of Mississippi to transfer the Mississippi Case to this Court because: Brooks per Roe ‘s tort claims against Roe are necessary counterclaims arising from the same factual facts,” they say.

Roe’s lawyers did not respond to Brooks’ tactics in federal court. But Wigdor Partner Jeanne M. Christensen had this to say about Brooks’ previously ultimately successful attempt to have Jane Roe’s case transferred from the Los Angeles Superior Court to federal jurisdiction: “This is just more of the same bullying and intimidation that Garth Brooks used . from the moment he learned that our client intended to hold him responsible. “We look forward to appearing in front of the jury and getting to the bottom of this case.”

Brooks will make the Caesars Palace restart on Dec. 5 and will almost certainly be absent from the DTLA hearing a few days later. But a few days ago it seemed pretty clear that the singer was thinking about more than just Sin City.

“The truth… wasn’t spoken by one voice, it was actually spoken by the people who were there,” Brooks said during an Inside Studio G broadcast live on Facebook earlier this week.
