31. He won't appeal. He'll refile a 40 page complaint in place of his 85 page complaint

And he''ll include attachments that aren't included in the 40 page limit in order to restate the nonsense the judge said had no place in the complaint itself.

MASSIVE BREAKING: Judge strikes down Trump's $15 Billion lawsuit against the New York Times. [View all] LetMyPeopleVote Sep 19 OP

A federal judge just sumamrily struck Trump's complaint against the New York Times, calling it, essentially, garbage. LetMyPeopleVote Sep 19 #1

Yeah, but all he really did was tell them to shorten it. They can refile within 30 days. nt pnwmom Sep 19 #18

But it was a nice smack down for 80+ pages of superfluous MadameButterfly Sep 19 #59

I was disappointed because the title made me think the decision was on substantive grounds. pnwmom Sep 19 #61

Yep - I know. My intention was that he was hoping for another judge who had her sense of the law...and loyalty. CincyDem Sep 19 #17

He filed in the same court he had to file in last time. It's a matter of correct jurisdiction, not judge shopping. ancianita Sep 19 #33

Why was this one filed in the Middle District? sl8 Sep 19 #49

I don't know, all the more puzzling that he filed it in the same middle district he filed against the NYT last year. ancianita Sep 19 #51

I would love to see trump appeal this ruling but it is more likely that he will refile LetMyPeopleVote Sep 19 #43

He can't; this isn't an appealable order. Ocelot II Sep 19 #58

Predictable. When trump appeals he'll get the same SCOTUS ruling he got in his 2024 suit. ancianita Sep 19 #24

He'll appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, lose there, then to SCOTUS. Wasting valuable court time losing ancianita Sep 19 #36

trump was never going to be deposed in this case and so he may well appeal LetMyPeopleVote Sep 19 #45

Exactly. All the more reason to see his pattern and slap a fine on him for filing a SLAPP suit. ancianita Sep 19 #50

He's not going to appeal. He will re-file consistent with the judge's order. onenote Sep 19 #38

He can't appeal. This dismissal isn't an appealable order. Ocelot II Sep 19 #54
