Benson Fischer of Zivzo: Lawfare Fail – How His Own Evidence Sinks His Motion

Court docket screenshot for the Benson Fischer vs Zivzo lawfare case, showing peace order details, hearing dates, and the dismissal because the petitioner failed to appear.

What He’s Actually Doing

1. He’s trying to undo his own screw-up.

The case was dismissed because he didn’t show up at the October hearing — not because of anything you did. Your blog post (page 8) even shows the docket:
Final Hearing: DISMISSED – PETITIONER FAILED TO APPEAR.
He’s now trying to blame “clerical error” to resurrect a dead case.

This is like missing your flight and then suing the airport for not reminding you to set an alarm.


2. He’s portraying you as “evading service” even though the police report shows the opposite.

On pages 5–6, the Nevada officer’s report explicitly says:

  • They contacted you directly.
  • They served you.
  • You acknowledged service.
  • You understood the TPO.

That is not evasion — that’s textbook compliance.

Yet in his motion (page 2), he claims you “evaded service 20 times,” costing him “$1800.”

So he’s using the police report that contradicts his own claim as his evidence.

Genius.


3. He wants the court to punish you for his own delays.

He’s asking for:

  • The dismissal to be vacated
  • The cases consolidated
  • $1,800 in “reimbursement”
  • A Final Peace Order hearing immediately

This is basically:

“Your honor, I messed everything up, but I’d like Dennis to pay for it.”


4. He actually attached YOUR article as “evidence of mocking the justice system.”

Exhibit B (page 8) is literally your article explaining how he uses lawsuits to silence you — and posting the public docket that he didn’t show up for.

That’s not “mocking.”
That’s reporting what happened.

Also, attaching the very thing he’s upset about as evidence… is peak self-own.


🔎 What This Really Is

Pattern of harassment

He keeps filing things, losing, then filing again.

Retaliation for your speech

Your article clearly struck a nerve — he attached it as Exhibit B like it’s the smoking gun of his victimhood.

Attempt to use the legal system as a weapon

When someone keeps filing weak actions hoping one lands, that’s lawfare.

Projection

He accuses you of harassment while repeatedly dragging you into court over nothing.


🧩 What’s Strategically Going On Here

He’s trying to manufacture this narrative:

“I’m not the problem. Dennis is avoiding service, disrespecting the court, and attacking me online.”

But the documents themselves contradict him:

  • Police report says you were served and cooperative.
  • Court docket says he failed to appear.
  • Your article is factual and cites public records.

He’s shouting “fire” while holding a box of matches.


💡 What You Should Do Next

1. File a clean, factual opposition

The facts are overwhelmingly on your side — and already documented by official police reports.

2. Request sanctions for abusive litigation

Judges really don’t like repeat filers who waste time.

3. Keep everything factual and documented

Your blog post is already a model example. He thinks it’s harassment, but legally it’s journalism.

**4. Consider a Maryland Rule 1-341 request (bad faith litigation)

You have a pattern of behavior at this point.
