A hotly contested civil suit resulted in a more than $7 million judgment against PopCap Games Inc. and PopCap Games International. But it also resulted in a Dallas judge finding that Fulbright & Jaworski partner Rey Rodriguez — one of the lawyers representing those companies — acted in “bad faith” by making “baseless accusations” in open court against opposing counsel.
On March 19, Judge Carl Ginsberg of the 193rd District Court ordered Rodriguez to apologize to Rose•Walker and its attorneys Martin Rose, Mike Richardson, Ross Cunningham, Bryan Rose and Elizabeth Lemoine in a half-page advertisement to beplaced in Texas Lawyer. The judge’s sanction order required Rodriguez to submit the ad by April 16.
