Melendez Case Listed Disposed as Court Orders Remain Pending
The official Monroe County docket changed from Active to Disposed, while two Decision + Order filings remained marked Pending on the public list.
The Monroe County court listing for John Melendez v. Karl Heberger et al. now shows the case status as Disposed. Earlier in the day, the same listing showed the case as Active. Two entries titled Decision + Order on Motion were received on Oct. 9, 2026. At the time of this check, documents 90 and 91 were still marked Pending, so their full text was not yet available from the public list. A cropped order image circulating in Dabbleverse accounts appears to say that defense motions under CPLR 3211 were granted, that costs and attorney fees would be set by an inquest and reduced by nonparty payments, and that the plaintiff's cross-motions were denied. Because the public court PDFs were still pending, those details are reported as circulating text, not independently verified order language. The supported development is the official docket status change from Active to Disposed. Claims that a specific dollar amount is owed, that all fees have already been fixed, or that fundraising proceeds were credited are not confirmed by the public docket view. This matters across the Dabbleverse because the right-of-publicity suit named Karl Heberger, Who Are These Podcasts, Shuli Egar and The Shuli Network. The separate order text should be checked again once the court makes the PDFs available.
