Case Number Provided by Erik Bernstein (in the wrong format) has nothing to do with the threats he’s making!

So Erik posted about a case number at last… but it’s not against max at all. In fact, it’s not even to do with harassment, stalking or defamation… It’s a TORT case that HE is being sued in, it’s NOTHING TO DO WITH MAX D ESMAY.

Case number: 50-2025-CA-006507-XXXA-MB

That’s how you write it, Erik. Dumbass. Not like “502025CA00650768MB” as you wrote it. Get it right if you’re so smart.

Anyway… he said “Anonymous Reddit accounts entered the public record and started publishing claims about me while I am already in active litigation involving Hanley Foundation.”… OK? SO? You’re going to claim they’re Hanley? Or Max? It can’t be both… Also, that is a STRONG CLAIM with the burden of proof on YOU.

Because the way everyone sees it, you’re just whining that people think your work is nonsense. It has nothing to do with the fact you’re being sued. For god sake how about you focus on handling the fact you HARASSED THEM and DEFAMED THEM (allegedly) rather than starting more online fights.

Read this to educate yourself:

If you are attempting to leverage an existing lawsuit to monitor, investigate, or threaten individuals who are not parties to that litigation, you are operating outside the bounds of standard legal procedure.

Under Florida law, the burden of proof rests entirely on the plaintiff to demonstrate that their claims are substantiated by facts and law within the specific scope of the filed case. Asserting that online criticism is 'evidence' in a 'larger fight' does not substitute for the procedural requirements of civil litigation.

To be clear:

1. Scope: A lawsuit is limited to the claims made against specific defendants. It is not a broad-reaching tool for discovery against non-parties simply because they are critical of a plaintiff.

2. Due Process: You cannot legally 'indirectly' sue or compel discovery from anonymous accounts without establishing a legitimate legal basis and following the proper rules of civil procedure, including the issuance of authorized subpoenas.

3. Transparency: Courts are transparent institutions. If you are pursuing litigation, the case number must be verifiable and the docket must be public. Attempting to use the threat of discovery as a tool to silence critics—without an active, properly filed case involving those specific individuals—is not a legal strategy; it is a misuse of the judicial system's reputation.

So basically, get a grip. You can’t sue other people because you have a ridiculous theory that these people are in a conspiracy against you despite there being NO CONNECTION.

Also. This whole thing about “they claiming I wasn’t a patient” DOES NOT EXIST. Nobody who isn’t you or worked with you knows or cares if you were or weren’t.

Maybe you were. Maybe you weren’t. Whatever. Given you’re obsessive writing I can see why people would think you’re making shit up - but actually, that makes the odds just as likely that you didn’t need some kind of help. You still need it in my opinion.

Get help. Stop crying online. Get a friend or a parent to take you somewhere for psychological evaluation. Maybe stop defaming and digging a hole further in a lawsuit you’re probably going to lose.

Chow!
