What happens if Anglin fails to show up for his deposition?

If Anglin fails to show up for his deposition next week, the court will enter a “default” in the matter and open the door for Gersh to file for “default judgment,” which would likely result in her being awarded damages that could put a long-term drain on Anglin’s finances.

What did Anglin do to Tanya Gersh?

In 2016, Anglin used his website to unleash an anti-Semitic “troll storm” on Tanya Gersh, a Jewish realtor embroiled in a property dispute with the mother of white nationalist Richard Spencer. Gersh and her family received more than 700 threatening and harassing communications from Anglin’s followers. With the help of the Southern Poverty Law Center, Gersh sued Anglin in 2017 for invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of “emotional distress” and violating a Montana anti-intimidation law.

What was Randazza's primary defense all along?

But the pair’s primary defense all along was to argue that everything Anglin published on his site ― including contact information for Gersh and her family, instructions on how to harass her and sample content his followers could use to harass her ― was protected speech. After a judge shot down that argument in November, Randazza and Anglin resorted to desperate-looking stalling and dodging tactics. Anglin, for instance, proposed doing the Gersh deposition in Cuba or Venezuela, a proposition that even Randazza, who did not comment for this story, said he was unprepared to “vigorously defend.”

Did Randazza back out of the Montana case?

On Monday, Randazza and Anglin’s other lawyers told the court they had notified their client of their decision to back out of the case , a move that still requires the approval of a judge. The lawyers must file a motion to withdraw by May 13.

Is Andrew Anglin in a deposition?

Did Randazza and Anglin break up?

This is not the first time Randazza has slunk away from his legal wreckage ― last year, he withdrew from a case after he and a client made numerous misrepresentations in Utah federal court that led to his client being sanctioned. This breakup, though, is different. For a time, Randazza and Anglin were pals subverting the system together. But Anglin was always too far gone, a conspiratorial loon raving about Jewish cabalism, his hatred of America and his desire to see the brains of his enemies splattered on walls.
