As a prior relationship between apparent funder AiPi, LLC and litigation counsel William P. Ramey III of Ramey LLP hit the skids, Ramey moved to withdraw from his representation of various clients shared between the two, including Lauri Valjakka in his case against Netflix. Netflix has filed an opposition, noting that Valjakka also opposes withdrawal and highlighting the fact that claims in the case “directly implicate Ramey” such that “Ramey’s attempt to evade liability by withdrawing as counsel is inappropriate”. In reply, Ramey argues that because AiPi has stopped payment, Ramey has stopped receiving payment and that “Mr. Valjakka is an individual and can represent himself”.
