- | * **AxaMonitor has a copy** of Beverly Hills attorney Torin A. Dorrros' | + | In an April 12, 2019, letter to Peters’ attorney of record in Georgia, Beverly Hills attorney Torin A. Dorros wondered why he hasn’t heard back in a month and a half about Dorros’ offer to negotiate an end to a public dispute that has aired [[:peters_sues_burnett#bitter_exchanges|Axanar' |

+ | |||
+ | Apparently concerned by Peters’ lack of legal experience, and Peters’ insistence on communicating with him, Dorros pleaded for intervention by Peters’ attorney, H. Michael Dever: | ||
+ | |||
+ | > I have not received any response from you to my prior correspondences. I would thus respectfully request a response as to whether I should be handling this matter through you or directly with Mr. Peters — I do believe <wrap hi>it would be to the parties’ benefit to have experienced counsel such as yourself involved</ | ||

+ | ===== Big Talk, Little Action ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Despite Peters’ legal threats and his repeated denigration of Burnett over the past five months, the lawsuit has essentially sputtered to a halt. Again. | ||

+ | ==== Delays ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | After filing suit in Georgia state court in Gwinnett County on February 18: <WRAP 90% center> | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **First delay**: It took Peters 25 days to serve Burnett, a California resident with the legal summons for the Georgia lawsuit. | ||
+ | * **Badly served**: Neither Peters nor his attorney have filed the required proof of service with the court. Without such proof filed with the court, Burnett isn’t required to reply to the suit, effectively grinding Peters’ legal action to a halt. According to Dorros: | ||
+ | |||
+ | > While indeed Mr. Burnett appears to have been served with papers in the action — this should not be taken as a concession as to whether such service in fact is proper or sufficient and thus for the moment our position is that service is improper and/or insufficient.((Letter from Torin Dorros to H.

+ | Asked to comment on the pubic release of his attorney’s letter, Burnett said, "As you know, I’m taking all of this very, very seriously. So, on the advice of counsel, I cannot comment on any ongoing, or upcoming, legal proceedings involving these cases." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Big Talk ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | More documents obtained by AxaMonitor cast doubt on Peters’ stated intentions to pursue Burnett for more than $45,000 in damages, largely stemming from $30,000 paid to Burnett that Peters now says were loans for which he wants to be repaid. | ||

- | <WRAP>“You wanna steal money, you wanna steal equipment, you wanna deny us our assets, | + | However, Dorros argued the terms of Peters’ proposal "do not in fact read that way": |
+ | |||
+ | > In my opinion, [Peters’ settlement terms] do not effectively provide for the necessary typical settlement protections that I believe all parties would likely want included so as to ensure that each party can truly “move on” once the agreement is executed.((Letter from Torin Dorros to H. Michael Dever, Re: Alec Peters and Axanar Productions, | ||

+ | |||
+ | === Missing Plaintiff === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dorros’ letter also observed Peters’ settlement proposal did not include the other plaintiff in the suit, Axanar Productions Inc. "It would need to be a party to the settlement agreement," | ||
+ | |||
+ | Despite being named a defendant in the suit against Burnett, Axanar Productions Inc. may not have standing to sue in Georgia courts. It remains a California corporation, | ||

+ | Moreover, Dorros criticized the scope of Peters demand for materials | ||
+ | |||
+ | > The definition or scope of alleged digital assets demanded in [the proposed settlement] is extraordinarily overbroad and encompasses far more material than would ever be deemed property or digital assets of Axanar Productions or Mr. Peters. That is not to say we are not willing to try to work with you and Mr. Peters on this issue, but understandably the fact that Mr. Peters wishes to claim some material is Axanar Productions material, assets, or intellectual property does not make it so.(( Letter from Torin Dorros to H.
