Attorney Marc Randazza claims to the courts that he did not represent Crystal Cox, yet he discussed the case with attorney Eugene Volokh and claimed to be representing me, and even discussed filing motions and get court transcripts in moving forward.

Marc Randazza  of Randazza Legal Group lied to the world deliberately painting Crystal Cox and Eliot Bernstein to be criminals, felony extortionist. Yet clearly as seen below Marc Randazza of Randazza Legal Group did not, himself believe he was being EXTORTED in any way, but that Cox was only asking for a job, and being unreasonable in his opinion.

Marc Randazza of Randazza Legal Group 

Thursday, April 23, 2015

Marc Randazza and Eugene Volokh, clearly discussing and acting as Blogger Crystal Cox's attorney... Yet, Marc Randazza claims he was not her attorney. Well if NOT then how about ''potential''. Marc Randazza is NOT above the LAW, though he thinks he is.

Exhibit 20 proves that Marc Randazza and Eugene Volokh were acting as Cox's attorney. They were ordering documents from the courts, discussing filing motions on Crystal Cox's (the client) behalf , they had phone discussions on the best strategy to proceed in Cox's case and all this allegedly in the best interest of the CLIENT, Crystal Cox.

Marc Randazza acted as Cox's attorney, even if RANDAZZA prevails in court as to his lies / claims that he was not Cox's attorney, then at the absolute, very least blogger Crystal Cox was a potential client is still owed duties under law.

''  Rule 1.18.  Duties to Prospective Client.

      (a) A person who discusses with a lawyer the possibility of forming a client-lawyer relationship with respect to a matter is a prospective client.

      (b) Even when no client-lawyer relationship ensues, a lawyer who has had discussions with a prospective client shall not use or reveal information learned in the consultation, except as Rule 1.9 would permit with respect to information of a former client.

      (c) A lawyer subject to paragraph (b) shall not represent a client with interests materially adverse to those of a prospective client in the same or a substantially related matter if the lawyer received information from the prospective client that could be significantly harmful to that person in the matter, except as provided in paragraph (d). If a lawyer is disqualified from representation under this paragraph, no lawyer in a firm with which that lawyer is associated may knowingly undertake or continue representation in such a matter, except as provided in paragraph (d).

      (d) When the lawyer has received disqualifying information as defined in paragraph (c), representation is permissible if:

             (1) Both the affected client and the prospective client have given informed consent, confirmed in writing, or:

             (2) The lawyer who received the information took reasonable measures to avoid exposure to more disqualifying information than was reasonably necessary to determine whether to represent the prospective client; and

                   (i) The disqualified lawyer is timely screened from any participation in the matter and is apportioned no part of the fee therefrom; and
                   (ii) Written notice is promptly given to the prospective client.

      (e) A person who communicates information to a lawyer without any reasonable expectation that the lawyer is willing to discuss the possibility of forming a client-lawyer relationship, or for purposes which do not include a good faith intention to retain the lawyer in the subject matter of the consultation, is not a “prospective client” within the meaning of this Rule.

      (f) A lawyer may condition conversations with a prospective client on the person’s informed consent that no information disclosed during the consultation will prohibit the lawyer from representing a different client in the matter. If the agreement expressly so provides, the prospective client may also consent to the lawyer’s subsequent use of information received from the prospective client.

      (g) Whenever a prospective client shall request information regarding a lawyer or law firm for the purpose of making a decision regarding employment of the lawyer or law firm:

             (1) The lawyer or law firm shall promptly furnish (by mail if requested) the written information described in Rule 1.4(c).

             (2) The lawyer or law firm may furnish such additional factual information regarding the lawyer or law firm deemed valuable to assist the client.

             (3) If the information furnished to the client includes a fee contract, the top of each page of the contract shall be marked “SAMPLE” in red ink in a type size one size larger than the largest type used in the contract and the words “DO NOT SIGN” shall appear on the client signature line.''

Below is the Motion in Limine Crystal Cox filed in her counterclaims suing Randazza for Malpractice, as he used partial email threads (private emails) to defame his former client, he boldly embarked on massive defamation claims against Crystal Cox and flat out lied in media and the courts that Cox had extorted him, though he clearly knew Cox was only asking for a job, as Exhibit 17 clearly shows.

Here is the eMails that clearly SHOW Marc Randazza LIED to the WORLD about Crystal Cox when he knew Cox was just asking him for a Job.  He deliberately painted his former client out to be a criminal, in total disregard of her civil rights, rights as his client or potential client and her constitutional rights.

Marc Randazza emails with Crystal Cox, CLEARLY he did not feel EXTORTED but yet PAINTED that to the world, and committed fraud on the courts I say.

http://ia601205.us.archive.org/2/items/gov.uscourts.nvd.91330/gov.uscourts.nvd.91330.261.0.pdf

A Docket riddled with whiny motions to strike, dismiss, and shut down blogger Crystal Cox. A Trademark court case filed by a ROGUE lawless attorney using YOUR TAX dollars, your courts for personal vengeance and personal gain.

Marc Randazza abuses the courts to target victims. He flat out lies over and over on court dockets. He sues YOU, ruins your life, and you have no way to fight back as he is a lawyer and he will bankrupt  you. He does this over and over.

Randazza uses protective orders, unconstitutional preliminary injunctions, NPR, Forbes, CNN, a gang of thug lawless attorney, threats, intimidation, and he uses the lawsuit he files against you to TARGET your church, get information from your bank accounts, harass and threaten your ex's - clients - and others, publicize your home address, get others to threaten to come to your town, hire private investigators to follow you, hire thugs to stalk you, threaten you, and keep you constantly tormented. All the while he convinces JUDGES that he is the good guy and his ''target'' is the bad guy and his big and small media, as well as WIPO and gang stalking attorneys use international publications, defamatory court documents made to seem LEGIT by lying gang stalking attorneys, and his constant legal actions and threats to keep you at his beck and call for years.

Marc Randazza is a LIAR, a THUG, and a Thief. He stole my blogs, my search engine ranking, my reputation, and he, as my former attorney painted me in false light to the world as a criminal WITH NO ADJUDICATED FACT what so ever.

Read this Entire Docket and LEARN what these attorneys do to violate the rights of due process, constitutional rights and civil rights of their target.

Affirmative Defense; Randazza et al v. Cox et al, District of Nevada

''

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF NEVADA
2:12-cv-02040-JAD-PAL
CRYSTAL L. COX,
Defendant, Pro Se

v.
MARC J. RANDAZZA,
Plaintiff,

                            Defendant Cox Statement, Declaration,
Affirmative Defense Statement.
                                                                                                                         Exhibit 24

Randazza v. Cox is a harassing SLAPP suit Randazza filed against Cox in retaliation and to shut down her blogs, suppress her speech, steal her top of the search engine gripe sites, suppress her First Amendment rights, bully her, intimated her, bankrupt her, ruin her career and reputation and harass her.

Randazza tried to unlawfully, unconstitutionally and unethically use Trademark law to suppress the Free Speech and First Amendment Rights of  Defendant Crystal Cox, of whom he knew could not afford an attorney to fight back as she is a pauper as he knew because he represented her for Free for a time in the Obsidian v. Cox Appeal.


Defendant Crystal Cox was Randazza's former client therefore, as a matter of law he does not have a legal right to sue Cox nor to represent anyone to sue Cox.

When Randazza represented Cox, he did so under Randazza Legal Group, therefore as a matter of law RLG cannot represent ANYONE to sue a former client.

Nevada Law:

Rule 1.18.  Duties to Prospective Client.

     (a) A person who discusses with a lawyer the possibility of forming a client-lawyer relationship with respect to a matter is a prospective client.
     (b) Even when no client-lawyer relationship ensues, a lawyer who has had discussions with a prospective client shall not use or reveal information learned in the consultation, except as Rule 1.9 would permit with respect to information of a former client.
     (c) A lawyer subject to paragraph (b) shall not represent a client with interests materially adverse to those of a prospective client in the same or a substantially related matter if the lawyer received information from the prospective client that could be significantly harmful to that person in the matter, except as provided in paragraph (d). If a lawyer is disqualified from representation under this paragraph, no lawyer in a firm with which that lawyer is associated may knowingly undertake or continue representation in such a matter, except as provided in paragraph (d).
     (d) When the lawyer has received disqualifying information as defined in paragraph (c), representation is permissible if:
            (1) Both the affected client and the prospective client have given informed consent, confirmed in writing, or:
            (2) The lawyer who received the information took reasonable measures to avoid exposure to more disqualifying information than was reasonably necessary to determine whether to represent the prospective client; and
                  (i) The disqualified lawyer is timely screened from any participation in the matter and is apportioned no part of the fee therefrom; and
                  (ii) Written notice is promptly given to the prospective client.
     (e) A person who communicates information to a lawyer without any reasonable expectation that the lawyer is willing to discuss the possibility of forming a client-lawyer relationship, or for purposes which do not include a good faith intention to retain the lawyer in the subject matter of the consultation, is not a “prospective client” within the meaning of this Rule.
     (f) A lawyer may condition conversations with a prospective client on the person’s informed consent that no information disclosed during the consultation will prohibit the lawyer from representing a different client in the matter. If the agreement expressly so provides, the prospective client may also consent to the lawyer’s subsequent use of information received from the prospective client.
     (g) Whenever a prospective client shall request information regarding a lawyer or law firm for the purpose of making a decision regarding employment of the lawyer or law firm:
            (1) The lawyer or law firm shall promptly furnish (by mail if requested) the written information described in Rule 1.4(c).
            (2) The lawyer or law firm may furnish such additional factual information regarding the lawyer or law firm deemed valuable to assist the client.
            (3) If the information furnished to the client includes a fee contract, the top of each page of the contract shall be marked “SAMPLE” in red ink in a type size one size larger than the largest type used in the contract and the words “DO NOT SIGN” shall appear on the client signature line.
     [Added; effective May 1, 2006; as amended; effective September 1, 2007.]

So Randazza Legal Group cannot represent Randazza to sue a former client.

Nevada Law:

   Rule 1.9.  Duties to Former Clients.

     (a) A lawyer who has formerly represented a client in a matter shall not thereafter represent another person in the same or a substantially related matter in which that person’s interests are materially adverse to the interests of the former client unless the former client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing.
     (b) A lawyer shall not knowingly represent a person in the same or a substantially related matter in which a firm with which the lawyer formerly was associated had previously represented a client:
            (1) Whose interests are materially adverse to that person; and
            (2) About whom the lawyer had acquired information protected by Rules 1.6 and 1.9(c) that is material to the matter;
            (3) Unless the former client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing.
     (c) A lawyer who has formerly represented a client in a matter or whose present or former firm has formerly represented a client in a matter shall not thereafter:
            (1) Use information relating to the representation to the disadvantage of the former client except as these Rules would permit or require with respect to a client, or when the information has become generally known; or
            (2) Reveal information relating to the representation except as these Rules would permit or require with respect to a client.
     [Added; effective May 1, 2006.]

Randazza has no legal right to sue COX as his former client she is protected under attorney client laws. Ther



                2.  Cox has a right to review, parody and gripe about her former client.

Randazza v. Cox is clearly a meritless lawsuit that Randazza initiated to chill Defendant Crystal Cox's speech and stop her from  exercising her First Amendment free speech rights.”


Defendant Cox has never had a blog about a 3 year old. Randazza 
cannot prove that Cox did.


Plaintiff has no Trademark and cannot prove he had a trademark at the time he sued Cox.

Defendant Cox has not engaged in extortion.

Defendant Cox has not used Randazza's trademark to make any money in any way. Defend Cox has gripe sites about Randazza of which is her First Amendment right.

Defendant Never bought a domain with Plaintiff's last name to capitalize in any way, and Plaintiff cannot prove otherwise, there for further litigation on these allegations is mute.

Cox moves this  court to rule in her favor, and to provide a pretrial summary judgement or ruling of some kind i Cox's favor and to stop further litigation of Randazza's case against Cox as this court has clearly shot down in Document 200.

Defendant Cox has a legal right to make fun of her former First Amendment attorney Randazza.

Even if Randazza were to prevail on any of his allegation in which he cannot prove, it is clear that this court has no jurisdiction of Cox in those allegations.

Cox never acted in conspiracy against Plaintiff in any way.

I, Cox, have never made any money from Randazza's name and he cannot prove I did

I have never engaged in a scheme to cyberfly, never had a reason to do so.

I have never offered to remove anything from my blogs for a payoff.

Eliot Bernstein is NOT a Proxy and never has been.

There is no way whatsoever that Cox's gripe sites about the Plaintiff could be confused with his law firm's blogs. Cox's sites were and are a clear RANT about her mistreatment by her former attorney.

Plaintiff doe not have common law rights to the name Randazza.

The First Amendment trumps any common law rights or trademark rights

It is clear to any reader that Cox's sites are gripe sites, parody, poking fun, and there is no commercial goods sold using Randazza's alleged good name.


Randazza clearly has no right to privacy and seclusion laws, he is a very controversial, high profial porn att


Right of Publicity does not exist in this case, as a matter of law.

3.  Affirmative Defense that will be included in Trial Memorandum regarding Randazza’s allegations against Defendant Cox in Randazza v. Cox
are the following:

In November 2012, the Randazza's sued Cox alleging violations of individual cyberpiracy protections for various registered websites under 15 U.S.C. § 8131, cybersquatting for various registered websites under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d), their right of publicity under NRS 597.810, their common law right of publicity, intrusion upon seclusion, and civil conspiracy.

The claims were based on allegations that Cox registered several domain names containing Plaintiffs’ names, that Cox’s blog posts contained objectionable characterizations of the Plaintiffs, and that these acts were designed to extort and harass the Randazzas and capitalize on and damage the goodwill Marc Randazza claims he built up in his own name as a prominent First Amendment attorney.

Defendant Cox did NOT register any domain names to extort nor to harass Randazza but instead to review his law firm, gripe about him, and to provide consumer protection information.

Plaintiffs have failed to authenticate more than half of their proffered exhibits in support of their motion; and half of the authenticated ones are immaterial to this motion.

Authentication of Evidence The first step in analyzing these motions is to determine what evidence the Court may consider in evaluating whether the parties met their respective burdens. In Orr v. Bank of America, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals “made it clear that ‘unauthenticated documents cannot be considered in a motion for summary judgment.’” To authenticate a document, the proponent must offer “evidence sufficient to support a finding that the matter in question is what its proponent claims.’”

Documents may be authenticated two ways: (1) through the personal knowledge of a party who attests that the document is what it purports to be;

Case Law Applying to the Above

(6) Am., 285 F.3d 764, 733 (9th Cir. 2002). Las Vegas Sands, 632 F.3d at 532-33 (quoting Fed. R. Evid. 901(a)). (7) Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 251 (citing Bill Johnson’s Restaurants, Inc. (8) v. NLRB, 461 U.S. 731, 745 n.11 (1983)).

or (2) any other manner permitted by Federal Rules of Evidence 901(b) (which provides ten methods of authentication) or 902 (identifying self authenticating documents that “require no extrinsic evidence of authenticity in order to be admitted”).

Documents authenticated through personal knowledge must be attached to an affidavit 9 signed by a person with personal knowledge about the document (such as the drafter or signer of the document, or the custodian of the document kept in the ordinary course of a business, depending on the type of document and its particular relevance), or properly authenticated deposition testimony in which the same information was elicited. (10)

Plaintiffs’ proffered evidence falls into several categories, and the Court addresses each in turn: 1. Periodicals Plaintiffs offer at Exhibit B an article from Forbes Magazine. Printed material “purporting to be a newspaper or periodical” is self-authenticating. Thus, this article is self-authenticating. Its (11) contents, however, are hearsay not subject to any exception.

Accordingly, the periodical is not admissible for summary judgment purposes. 2. Websites Few courts have considered how a website print-out or blog posting may be authenticated. Those that have considered the issue have found “website print-outs [were] sufficiently authenticated

(9) and certified; foreign public documents; certified copies of public records; official publications; newspapers and periodicals; trade inscriptions and the like; acknowledged or notarized documents; commercial paper and related documents; presumptions under a federal statute; and certified domestic or foreign records of a regularly conducted activity.)

See Orr, 285 F.3d at 773-74 (“documents authenticated through personal knowledge must (10) be “attached to an affidavit that meets the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e) and the affiant must be a person through whom the exhibits could be admitted into evidence.”); see also id. at 774 (deposition transcripts are authenticated “by attaching the cover page of the deposition and the reporter's certification to every deposition extract submitted. It is insufficient for a party to submit, without more, an affidavit from her counsel identifying the names of the deponent, the reporter, and the action and stating that the deposition is a ‘true and correct copy.’ Such an affidavit lacks foundation even if the affiant-counsel were present at the deposition.”).

Fed. R. Evid. 902(6).

… where the proponent declared that they were true and correct copies of pages on the internet and the print-outs included their webpage URL address and the dates printed.” (12) The websites contained in Exhibits E, K, Q, R, S, and T have been properly authenticated under this standard because Plaintiff Marc Randazza has attested that they are true and correct copies and the print-outs include the webpage URL address and the dates the websites were printed.13 However, Plaintiffs have not authenticated any of the purported website contents in Exhibits D, G, M, O, and P. Although Mr. Randazza has attested that these exhibits are true and correct copies and the print-outs include the webpage URL address, absent are the dates the webpages were printed.

Without the print dates, these website printouts have not been properly authenticated, and the Court will not consider them. 3. Letters, Emails, and Text Messages A document may be authenticated by personal knowledge “by a witness who wrote it, signed it, used it, or saw others do so.” Although circumstantial evidence—like an email’s context, email 14 address, or previous correspondence between the parties—may help to authenticate an email, the 15 most direct method of authentication is a statement from its author or an individual who saw the author compose and send the email.

(13)  See Docs. 75-1, 75-7, 75-13, 75-19, 75-20, 75-21, 75-22. 13 Orr, 285 F.3d at 774 n.8 (citing references omitted).

(15) United States v. Fluker, 698 F.3d 988, 999 (7th Cir. 2012).

Plaintiffs have not authenticated the purported emails in this case nor have Plaintiffs Proven that Cox has Violated Tradmark Law.


  1. Genuine issues of material fact preclude summary judgment on Plaintiffs’ claims 1-3 relating to violations of individual cyberpiracy protections under 15 U.S.C. § 8131.


Plaintiff Randazzas’ first, second, and third claims arising under 15 U.S.C. § 8131 allege that Defendants’ registration of the multiple domain names violates the provision that provides cyberpiracy protection for individuals. In pertinent part, section 8131 provides that:

        [a]ny person who registers a domain name that consists of the name of another living person, or a name substantially and confusingly similar thereto, without that person’s consent, with the specific intent to profit from such name by selling the domain name for financial gain to that person or any third party, shall be liable in a civil action by such person. (30)

It is undisputed that Cox did not intend to profit on said name nor did Cox register domain names in bad faith.

To prevail under this theory, a plaintiff must show that the specific intent to profit existed at the time of the registration. Randazza cannot prove this and therefore does not have a Valid claim.  The statute further provides a very limited exception for good-faith registrants: (31)

    A person who in good faith registers a domain name consisting of the name of another living person, or a name substantially and confusingly similar thereto, shall not be liable under this paragraph if such name is used in, affiliated with, or related to a work of authorship protected under Title 17, including a work made for hire as defined in section 101 of Title 17, and if the person registering the domain name is the copyright owner or licensee of the work, the person intends to sell the domain name in conjunction with the lawful exploitation of the work, and such registration is not prohibited by a contract between the registrant and the named person. The exception under this subparagraph shall apply only to a civil action brought under paragraph (1) and shall in no manner limit the protections afforded under the Trademark Act of 1946 (15 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.) or other provision of Federal or State law.(32)


Case Law Applying to the Above

Bhan v. NME Hosps., Inc., 929 F.2d 1404, 1409 (9th Cir. 1991); Anderson, 477 U.S. at 28 248-49.

See 15 U.S.C. § 8131. 29 Id. at § 8131(1)(A).

(32) Id. at § 8131(1)(B).


Plaintiff Randazza have FAILED to show and CANNOT show admissible evidence that at the time the Defendants registered domain names there was a specific intent to profit by selling the domains to Plaintiffs or a third party. Therefore this Cause of action is MUTE and not actionable.


2.   Genuine issues of material fact preclude summary judgment on claims 4-5 for Cybersquatting under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d).


The Randazzas’ fourth and fifth claims allege that Defendants’ registration of the domain names violates the provision that prohibits cybersquatting. To prevail on a cybersquatting claim, a 35 plaintiff must show that: “(1) the defendant registered, trafficked in, or used a domain name; (2) the domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a protected mark owned by the plaintiff; and (3) the defendant acted with bad faith intent to profit from that mark.” Plaintiffs have failed to show and CANNOT show, by admissible evidence, essential elements of these cybersquatting claims, and therefore have no VALID Claim against Cox.

Plaintiff Randazza CANNOT show ANY admissible evidence essential elements of these cybersquatting claims.

Jennifer and Natalia Randazza’s claims fail as a matter of law because they have not alleged or shown any facts to support common-law trademarks in their personal names. Thus, Jennifer and Natalia are not entitled to any relief or claim against COX.

Assuming Mr. Randazza could show a common law trademark in his name, he has not demonstrated Defendants acted with bad-faith intent to profit from that mark.

To determine whether Defendants acted in bad faith, the Court considers the nine nonexclusive factors outlined in § 1125(d)(1)(b):

(1) the trademark or intellectual property rights of the defendants in the domain name; (2) the extent to which the domain name is the legal name of a person, (3) defendant’s prior use of the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods and services,

(4) whether the defendant made a bona fide noncommercial fair use of the domain name, (5) defendant’s intent to divert consumers from the mark owner’s online location to a site accessible under the domain name that could harm the goodwill represented by the mark, either for commercial gain or with the intent to tarnish or disparage the mark, by creating a likelihood of confusion as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the site,

(6) whether the defendant offered to transfer, sell, or otherwise assign the domain name to the mark owner or any third party for financial gain without having used, or having an intent to use, the domain name, (7) whether the defendant provided false contact information when registering the domain name, (8) whether the defendant registered multiple domain names which defendant knew were identical to or confusingly similar to marks of others that are distinctive at the time of registration of such domain names, and (9) the extent to which the trademark incorporated into the domain name is distinctive.

Plaintiff Randazza has not and CANNOT show admissible evidence that the non-exhaustive factors balance in his favor. 

Although some factors may balance in his favor, such as factors 1-3, others arguably do not, such as 4-7. As Plaintiffs have failed to prove an essential element of these claims, and cannot at trial.



3. Genuine issues of material fact preclude summary judgment on claim 6 for Right of Publicity under NRS § 597.810.

Plaintiffs’ sixth claim alleges that Defendants’ registration of the domain names containing the entirety or part of the Randazzas’ personal names violated their rights of publicity under Nevada law. NRS § 597.810 prohibits “[a]ny commercial use of the name, voice, signature, photograph or likeness of another by a person, firm or corporation without first having obtained written consent for the use. . . .” The statute defines “commercial use” as “the use of the name, voice, signature,  photograph or likeness of a person on or in any product, merchandise or goods or for the purposes of advertising, selling or soliciting the purchase of any product, merchandise, goods or service.”

Genuine issues of material fact also preclude entry of judgment in Plaintiffs’ favor on this privacy claim. 

The Randazza's have failed to show by admissible evidence that Defendants intended to advertise, sell, or solicit the purchase of any product, merchandise, goods, or service. Indeed, Plaintiffs have offered no admissible evidence that tends to show any commercial use of the their names.

Defendant has had no material gain, and Plaintiff cannot prove that Defendant violated the alleged right to privacy or that they had a reasonably right to privacy in being a high profile porn and first amendment attorney.


4. Claim for Common Law Right of Publicity is legally untenable.

Plaintiffs’ seventh claim alleges that Defendants’ registration of the domain names containing the entirety or part of the Randazzas’ personal names violated their common law rights of publicity. 

“Nevada has codified the right of publicity tort.” Because “[t]he statute provides a 40 complete and exclusive remedy for right of publicity torts,” Nevada law does not recognize a common law right of publicity.

As Nevada law does not recognize this cause of action, Plaintiffs have failed to state a viable claim under this legal theory, and this claim is dismissed with prejudice. Therefore Plaintiff Randazza has no claim.



5. Genuine issues of material fact preclude summary judgment on claim 8 for common law intrusion upon seclusion.

The Randazzas’ eighth claim alleges that Defendants’ registration of five of the domain names containing the entirety or part of their names amounted to a common law intrusion upon seclusion. To recover for the tort of intrusion, a plaintiff must prove that there was an intentional intrusion (physical or otherwise) on his seclusion that would be highly offensive to a reasonable person. “[T]o have an interest in seclusion or solitude which the law will protect, a plaintiff must show that he or she had an actual expectation of seclusion or solitude and that that expectation was objectively reasonable.”

Generally, there is a decreased expectation of privacy in the workplace and for individuals who have interjected themselves into the public sphere.

Genuine issues of material fact preclude entry of judgment in Plaintiffs’ favor on this intrusion claim. Plaintiffs Jennifer and Natalia have failed to show by admissible evidence that the mere registration of a domain name would be highly offensive to a reasonable person, and Mr. Randazza has failed to show that registering the domain names, coupled with the comments contained in the two admissible blog posts, would be highly offensive to the reasonable person as a matter of law.

Randazza has a decreased expectation of privacy in his workplace. By his own characterization, he is an attorney “renowned through the United States and the world for expertise in First Amendment, intellectual property, and Internet law.” He authors “a blog about various legal issues,” and the blog is an ABA-recognized top blog website.

On his blog, he goes to great lengths to explain “why [he has] the audacity to believe that [he is] qualified to teach [others] a thing or two.” He touts himself as having “experience and expertise in all areas of First Amendment and  entertainment law matters.” He boasts about “get[ting] to fight ‘the good fight’ – protecting all of our First Amendment freedoms,” and openly proclaims that he has “represented adult entertainment establishments against socially conservative communities.”

By talking about his experience and the clients he represents, Mr. Randazza invites commentary on his work as an attorney and criticism from those who oppose the positions of his clients. Mr. Randazza may be perceived to have interjected himself into the public sphere by making television and radio guest appearances, giving quotes and interviews in newspapers, magazines, and other publications, appearing at speaking engagements, and having an ABA-recognized Top blog website, all as reflected on his résumé. 

Considering his intentional and deliberate professional exposure and interjection into the public sphere and the accompanying decrease in his privacy interests, he has not demonstrated as a matter of law that he had an actual or reasonable expectation that he would not be criticized based on his work as an attorney or that he would not be thought about unfavorably by people in opposition to his work. As the Randazzas have failed to establish essential elements of this claim and cannot Plaintiff has no claim.

6. Genuine issues of material fact preclude summary judgment on claim for Civil Conspiracy.

Plaintiffs’ ninth claim alleges that Bernstein and Cox colluded to register the domain names containing the entirety or part of the Randazzas’ names to violate their rights. To state a valid claim for civil conspiracy, a plaintiff must show: 

(1) defendants, by acting in concert, intended to accomplish an unlawful objective for the purpose of harming the plaintiff; and 

(2) the plaintiff sustained damages as a result. “A civil conspiracy claim operates to extend, beyond the active wrongdoer, liability in tort to actors who have merely assisted, encouraged or planned the wrongdoer’s acts.” Genuine issues of material fact also preclude entry of judgment in the Randazzas’ favor on this theory. They have not demonstrated by admissible evidence that Cox and Bernstein acted in concert. Nor can Plaintiff prove this and therefore Plaintiff has no claim.

The First Amendment TRUMPS Trademark Law

Even if it was found Cox’s Gripe sites were a violation of Randazza’s alleged Trademark, Cox’s First Amendment Right TRUMP any Trademark Randazza may Have.

See; In  Rogers v. Grimaldi, 875 F.2d 994 (9th  Cir. 1989),

In  University of Alabama Board of Trustees v. New Life Art,  Inc., 683 F.3d 1266 (11th  Cir. June 11, 2012),

In a battle between two video game heavyweights – Novalogic, Inc. and Activision Blizzard – a California federal court held that Novalogic’s attempt to enjoin Activision from using the phrase “Delta Force” and a Delta Force logo in “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” is barred by the First Amendment. Novalogic v. Activision Blizzard et al. [No. 12-4011]


A recent trademark infringement case out of the Eastern District of California demonstrates that the First Amendment may trump a trademark owner's objections to use of a similar mark by a political opponent. In the case of Protectmarriage.com-Yes on 8, a Project of California Renewal v. Courage Campaign, 93 U.S.P.Q.2d 1477 (E.D. Cal. 2010), the plaintiff, ProtectMarriage.com, is a nonprofit organization opposed to same-sex marriage in California.

Nat’l Ass’n for the Advancement of Colored People, 2014 WL 2601747 (E.D. Va. June 10, 2014) ..


Trademark Laws SHOULD NOT be used to trample First Amendment Rights

"In a blog post titled “NACCP: National Association for the Abortion of Colored People,” Radiance Foundation Inc. (“Radiance”) stated that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (“NAACP”) holds “all things liberal, most things socialistic, and nothing pro-life.” On April 24th, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia found Radiance liable for trademark infringement and trademark dilution for its use of NAACP’s trademark in its blog post. Radiance Found., Inc. v. NAACP, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 57431. The court ruled that Radiance violated the Lanham Act, provisions 15 U.S.C. §1114 and 1125, as well as Virginia Code §59.1-92.12(i), VA. Code Ann. § 59.1-92.12(i) (West 2011). Radiance appealed, and the EFF and ACLU filed an amicus brief in support of Radiance.

Building on three prior Circuit Court cases holdings that “artistic or political use of a trademark” and “literary titles” do not violate the Lanham Act “so long as the level of relevance to the underlying work is merely . . . above zero,” the EFF and the ACLU argue that Radiance’s use of the term “NAACP” in an article title was not infringing on a confusion theory. Rogers v. Grimaldi, 875 F.2d 994 (2d Cir. 1989), Mattel, Inc. v. MCA Records, Inc., 296 F.3d 894 (9th Cir. 2002), and E.S.S. Entertainment 2000, Inc. v. Rock Star Videos, Inc., 547 F.3d 1095 (9th Cir 2008). The brief reasons that “Radiance’s use of NAACP’s trademark in the title of an article was directly relevant to the article’s political goal and did not explicitly mislead as to the source or content of the article.”  The brief emphasizes that Rogers, Mattel, and E.S.S. Entertainment showed “that the First Amendment broadly protects cultural reference, commentary, criticism and parody, including when such speech uses another's trademark.”"


Free  Speech  Trumps  Trademark  Rights   in University of Alabama v. Moore

In Conclusion,

Clearly, as a matter of law, this case is a SLAPP suit Randazza filed against Cox to shut down her blogs, suppress her speech, steal her top of the search engine gripe sites, suppress her First Amendment rights, bully  her and harass her.

Cox was Randazza's former client and he does not have a legal right to sue her as his former client she is protected under attorney client laws. Therefore this court should rule in Cox's favor and stop this 3 year madness.

Cox has a right to review, parody and gripe about her former client.

Randazza v. Cox is clearly a meritless lawsuit that Randazza initiated primarily to chill Defendant Crystal Cox's speech and stop her from  exercising her First Amendment free speech rights.”

A Trademark Attorney, First Amendment Expert SUES a former client claiming a Trademark Infringement on Gripe Sites.

Then this attorney claims the case is about extortion, then claims the client defamed him. Yet he originally said the case was not about extortion but only trademark.

This attorney SEIZED massive online content, blogs, domain names and engaged in a massive campaign to attack his former client, and all to teach her a lesson for not doing what he told her, and to ''try'' and stop her from talking online about him and his law firm.

Can you imagine an outspoken Free Speech attorney attacking a blogger to suppress her speech, stealing domain names and claiming Trademark Violations on blogs that gripe about him?

It is seriously unethical to use Trademark Law in order to take online content, chill speech, suppress speech and STOMP on the First Amendment Rights of someone you don't like talking about you. ,

In order to like something, someone, some company or express dislike or any opinion about them AT ALL, You would have to use the name of the company, doctor, lawyer, CPA, or whatever that person is.

An ALLEGED expert in this area would know that suing someone that is talking about them online and claiming Trademark is wrong, is not lawful and is certainly on the wrong side of the moral compass.

This attorney seized online content through a TRO, in which, flat out STOLE intellectual property, search engine placement, and the work of another without ANY First Amendment adjudication in any way.  And Judge Gloria Navarro of the District of Nevada let this happen and let those sites, blogs, and domain names be redirected to a blog post hating, defaming, and painting in false light, this same former client.

How does this RADICAL LAWLESSNESS HAPPEN?

Well First you need an attorney with lot's of connections and no morals or ethics, like say a Porn Attorney, that is an expert in First Amendment Law.

Take a Look at the Docket below as you clearly see a gang of attorneys attack blogger Crystal Cox in order to attempt to silence her, chill her speech, all without ANY adjudicated fact.

Attorney Marc Randazza used Trademark Laws, an Unconstitutional TRO and a gang of attorney bloggers to destroy the life, reputation, legal cases, and business of his target, in this case his former client Blogger Crystal Cox who stood up to him.
