This was COMPLETELY FALSE! The government only released the IRS automatic lien which was DUPLICATED.  See attached affidavit you will only get here:  Francis NO LIEN RELEASE

In addition, the Court on February 24, 2010, took off calendar his March 1, 2010 hearing date and said he will consider the matter without oral argument.  The Court had already denied Francis’s bid to release the levy and the tax lien and his motion for reconsideration had a slim change of being granted anyway.  Here is a copy of the order: FRANCIS ORDER OFF CALENDAR

The fact that the judge didn’t even want to hear from Francis’s attorneys probably means there is very little merit to his arguments. TMZ simply jumped the gun when they saw the duplicate lien release and I have asked them to issue a retraction. Continue Reading…

HSK Beats TMZ to a case almost entirely about them

Attorney Ronald Richards once again continues to protect Freedom of Speech.

Today HSK has exclusively obtained and published court documents from the recent SLAPP MOTION hearing in the Jayde Nicole vs. Joe Francis cross-complaint.

Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild lost his cross-complaint against Jayde Nicole today. Judge Mark V.

Playboy playmate attempting to get defamation allegations thrown out

Dueling litigation between Joe Francis and a Playboy model could be pared if the woman’s lawyers are successful in persuading a judge to throw out the “Girls Gone Wild” founder’s defamation allegations against her on Thursday.

Jayde Nicole, the 2008 Playmate of the Year, sued Francis on Sept. 24 for assault and battery in connection with a scuffle that she, her boyfriend Brody Jenner and Francis got into Aug. 28 at Los Angeles nightclub Guys and Dolls.

The 23-year-old centerfold alleges that Francis caused her multiple injuries, including a “black eye, swollen face, bruised ribs, sore and bruised abdomen region, bruised arms and legs, ripped-out hair and utter emotional distress and humiliation.”

Francis filed a countersuit against Nicole and Jenner on Oct. 23, alleging battery, assault, negligence, slander, libel and invasion of privacy.

The countersuit maintains Nicole slandered Francis when she spoke on video after the incident to a member of a celebrity Web site and said the videomaker “… grabbed my hair and he punched me in the face … he pushed me to the ground … he kicked me in my stomach and my chest … and [her neck].” Continue Reading…
