While we’re waiting to see how hard the California 2nd Appellate District comes down on John Kucera for the AI blunders in the Bixler v. Scientology lawsuit, the Boies Schiller partner has now withdrawn from the case, and has also apparently left the prestigious national law firm as well.
According to a document filed this week with the court Kucera has withdrawn from the case, but Boies Schiller itself, as well as the Freedman Firm, remain the attorneys of record for the Jane Doe victims, who are suing actor Danny Masterson and the Church of Scientology.
Also, Kucera’s profile at the Boies Schiller website has been removed, suggesting that he’s left the company.
This is the civil lawsuit brought in 2019 by the Jane Doe victims against Masterson, Scientology, and church leader David Miscavige alleging years of harassment since the women came forward to the LAPD in 2016.
The lawsuit was on hold during Masterson’s two criminal trials, the second of which ended with his conviction on two counts of forcible rape that now have him serving 30 years to life in the Men’s Colony state prison in San Luis Obispo County. (Where, yesterday, he turned 50 years old.)
After Masterson’s criminal case was concluded, the civil lawsuit got going again and Scientology tried to gut it with an anti-SLAPP motion that was denied by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Upinder Kalra. Scientology appealed that decision.
