除此之外,莫虎還請求佩里法官對周立波以及董克文進行適當的制裁,其理由是被告的反訴行為是輕率的(frivolous),缺乏法理和事實依據,理應受到制裁。

【原文】
This Court should exercise its discretion to impose appropriate sanctions against Defendant and his counsel for pressing frivolous counterclaims in bad faith, without factual or legal basis, despite the fact that the April 27, 2020 Decision has previously rejected similar patently meritless counterclaims based on the same factual allegations and merely with a rebranding of the legal theories in the instant counterclaims that are unavailing.
【參考譯文】
本法庭應行使其裁量權,對被告及其律師惡意提交輕率的反訴給予適當的制裁,新的反訴缺乏事實或法律依據,罔顧2020年4月27日裁定的事實,基於相同的事實指控,該裁定已經駁回了類似的毫無價值的反訴,新的反訴只是對法律理論進行了重新命名,這是徒勞的。
至於佩里法官會不會再次駁回周立波的反訴,會不會對周立波及其律師董克文進行制裁,就讓我們拭目以待。
