According to Nevada’s VegasInc.com, “Hunt said Righthaven deliberately failed to disclose the owner of the Las Vegas Review-Journal shares in Righthaven’s lawsuit revenue. But, without explanation, Hunt didn’t sanction any of the Righthaven attorneys that may have been responsible for the misrepresentation.”

Reporter Steven Green goes on to write that one of Righthaven’s lawyers, Shawn Mangano, indicated that the company was considering an appeal of the sanction: “Mangano said Righthaven is considering appealing because Hunt based the sanction on grounds that Righthaven wasn’t given a chance to respond to.”
