(No one has accused Rice, who appears to be an insane sycophant, of being a child molester; the Colorado order - issued without findings - was not properly registered in California; and Cohen, his legal team, and Party-At-Interest are clearly associates-in-fact and this situation was pre-meditated).

And who cannot control their emotions? Booo hooo Kelley Lynch called me a child molester in emails that no one ever reads....
Boooo fucking hoooooo...... man up and put on your big boy pants and shut the f*&k up.
Do me a favor and keep inciting her to file more motions, you are making me richer than f*&k. In fact, I think I can pay off my mortgage on my $2 million Hollywood Hills home with jetliner views by the end of this year.

Mr. Gianelli:
I attach the parties listing from Atlantic Records, et al. v. Project Playlist, Inc. that I downloaded from PACER from the Southern District of New York. As you will see in the attached,
I was indeed a counsel of record for my client, Project Playlist, Inc., after Wilson Sonsini withdrew in 2009.
Your own printout in your email below shows Mr. Kramer as "terminated" in 2009.
Given your purportedly exceptional legal skills, I can only assume that your misstatement as to my representation of Project Playlist in the SDNY litigation is intentionally and knowingly false and as such is defamatory per se.
Your continued attempts to publicly defame and discredit me, subsequent to my telling you in no uncertain terms as recently as July of this year to cease your harassment of me and this law office should cease and desist immediately.
Whatever continuing dispute you may have with Ms. Lynch is between the two of you and should not involve me as Mr. Cohen's counsel. As a lawyer of significant skills (according to you), I find it interesting that you cannot resolve your own legal disputes with Ms. Lynch without attempting to involve our office and continually attempting to inappropriately intervene and insert yourself into Mr. Cohen's legal matters.
Accordingly, please cease copying me in on emails that you send to Ms. Lynch, who I observe has also repeatedly requested that you cease your inappropriate interference and
has even written me and my law partner, Robert Kory, to request that you do so.
According to the California State Bar website you remain an "active" member of the State Bar irregardless of your publicly holding yourself out as "retired." I submit that your ad hominem attacks on me, Ms. Lynch, and your recently writing that it is "fun" to harass others when they have repeatedly requested that you cease such conduct is, as my partner observed below, quite troubling and disturbing.

Wilson Sonsini withdrew because they feared a huge loss. Michelle stepped in under protest, assembled a brilliant team of three firms, fought back in major technical discovry, terabytes of data, developed a computer model that caused counsel to record companies to fear loss, and to settle on extremely favorable terms . She accomplished all this knowing that her case was fundamentally flawed. Her clients were leading entrepreneurs with net worth on the billions and could have been forced to pay massive damages. Kramer called me after the settlement and congratulated us on Michelle's brilliant work. The real tragedy is that the Playlist technical team and entrepreneurs failed to follow Michelle's analysis of DMCA compliance. Had they done so, Michelle could have won the litigation. Feel free to doubt my words, but I assure you it is the truth.
You are way off base about Michelle. I urge you to cease your baseless and often childish criticism of her. I also ask again that you stop emailing Lynch and provoking her. This should not be viewed as sport. Your emails suggesting that provoking Lynch is "fun" are quite troubling.
