TPV (T.me) BREAKING UPDATE IN MY $25M DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE ADL: JUDGE REJECTS ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE’S THIRD ATTEMPT TO HALT $25M DEFAMATION SUIT! 🚨🚨🚨
Trial set for July 16, 2025.
"FT. WORTH, TEXAS - On March 31, 2025, The Honorable Reed O’Connor, Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, rejected the Anti-Defamation League’s latest efforts to stop a disabled Navy veteran’s $25 million defamation suit.
Judge O’Connor quoted well-known case law in his ruling, stating that the mere fact that a disgruntled litigant intends to inevitably appeal does not create an exceptional case warranting a mid-suit appeal, and the law depended on by the ADL in its motion is “not a vehicle to question the correctness of a district court’s ruling or to obtain a second, more favorable opinion.”
Plaintiff Mr. John Sabal, who organizes patriotic festivals and has never been arrested, alleged that the ADL defamed him when it published his name in the ADL Center on Extremism’s “Glossary of Extremism and Hate.” The Glossary ONLY names 295 people, many of them notorious terrorists such as Osama bin Laden, Timothy McVeigh, Dylann Roof, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, ‘an al Qaeda member and the mastermind of the 9/11 terror attack,’ the Glossary reminds us.
“The ADL's latest effort to delay John Sabal's defamation suit has failed, as the court denied the ADL's attempt for a mid-suit appeal and stay of proceedings based on a claim that Sabal is a public figure. In keeping with fine federal court tradition, this case will still be heard as scheduled in July,” said Warren V. Norred, of NORRED LAW.
The ruling marks the third strike for the ADL’s defense team, which has now attempted aPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
