Lawsuit Update: Pasqual Perez III v Speech-to-Text Institute, et al. August 2025 Update

See the post that started this saga.

I had the privilege of receiving Pasqual Perez III’s reply to the motion to dismiss some time ago (May 2025!). It’s quite lengthy so I’m just going to offer it for download here.

It’s unfortunate that Mr. Perez had to file without a lawyer. I’ll be checking PACER someday soon to see if the court ruled on this motion.

I do think one notable assertion by this reply is that court reporting is approximately 85% white, which is something that Pasqual “Trey” Perez III has pointed out to me many times. I have noted the high percentage of white court reporters in the past and can’t help but wonder if there’s something that perhaps we have done historically or are doing now to create such a disparity.

I must admit, I always hoped this lawsuit would go places. I disagreed with suing some of the people involved, but I was very interested in whether a successful case could be brought against the Speech-to-Text Institute, or by proxy, the large players that backed that organization, such as Veritext and Stenograph.

Look out for a September update when I have some time to review more documents on PACER.

  1. I am not a writer , I am not a lawyer, I was a legal videographer who had an idea that is being utilized today by the biggest and smallest court reporting firms in the country. So I may write with numerous writing mistakes but I write The Truth and I know the defendants cannot do that. All my assertions are true, not only the 85% of reporters being white. You wrote that I bring up that topic quite a bit, huh, I wonder why? Could it be because maybe you bring it up when you bring up a study? If you followed my case you will see that race is not brought up by me but by the court itself.
    Illegal, Evade and house painter are all words that have been used to describe me in documents filed in this case. Invader was used by Sherri Fisher on social media but she didn’t produce it. I should have included the fact that she tried to convey that I was hunting her down as I left a deposition she got me kicked out of. Even her own friend Billy stated “I guess I don’t get it , he just exits the building”. But that’s the kind of people I’m dealing with.
    I am dealing with court reporters who tout themselves as “GUARDIANS OF THE RECORD” who have created documents like The White Paper which states “1) American laws apply equally to all people at all times and 2) no one is above the law.” But do they actually believe the guidelines within the White Paper? HELL NO. Not if it doesn’t fit their agenda or position. They are ok with a president defying the Supreme Court and ok with a president sending the National Guard to US cities so long as they are getting rid of brown people that have broken the law. What about the laws broken on January 6? He didn’t know he could call the National Guard then? So at least be honest about your beliefs in THE WHITE PAPER and laws in general. You pick and choose who the laws apply to and who they don’t apply to. That’s the white privilege I’ve posted about recently (Michael Johnson, CSR.) who stated i should have stayed in my lane just like JoAnn Holmgren did. Every court reporting company has taken a deposition without a court reporter even JoAnn Holmgren’s company but did they go after them? No they came after me. This white privileged industry believes it owns the whole damn road. It doesn’t. So FTAFYT
