The motion argued that Funimation is entitled to recover its attorney’s fees and costs from Mignogna under the Texas Citizens Participation Act (TCPA).
Chupp also dismissed Mignogna’s allegations that Funimation participated in tortious interference and civil conspiracy on September 6.
Funimation filed a motion with the Tarrant County District Court on Monday for reasonable attorney’s fees, costs, and sanctions related to voice actor Vic Mignogna’s lawsuit against voice actresses Monica Rial, Jamie Marchi, Rial’s fiance Ron Toye, and Funimation.
The motion also requested sanctions of at least US$25,000 “to deter [Mignogna] from filing similar lawsuits in the future.”
