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.
