February 11, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 425 ORDER: In its previous Ruling and Order on Pending Motions, see ECF No. 326, the Court granted, in part, Mr. Luck's motion for a protective order, ECF No. 186, as to the disclosure of information obtained from Mr. Luck's Alpha-issued iPhone until the Court had an opportunity to determine, upon ruling on the parties' dispositive motions, this information's relationship, if any, to the Defendants' defense. See ECF No. 326 at 50-51. In light of the dismissal from the case of any claims related to the Alpha-issued iPhone, see ECF No. 423, and consistent with the Court's "inherent authority to manage [its] docket[] and courtroom[] with a view toward the efficient and expedient resolution of cases," Dietz v. Bouldin, 136 S.

May 4, 2007) (quotation marks and citation omitted), the Court will adopt reasonable and narrowly tailed measures regarding the information obtained from Mr. Luck's Alpha-issued iPhone in this case. Cf. United States v. Salameh, 992 F.2d 445, 447 (2d Cir. 1993) ("[T]he district court may...determine, after proper notice to the parties and an opportunity to be heard, that circumstances exist requiring the imposition of restrictions designed to protect the integrity of the judicial system and the rights of the defendants to a fair trial, and enter an order that is no broader than necessary to achieve those ends."); Sargeant v. Serrani, 866 F. Supp. 657, 663 (D. Conn. 1994) (evidence of plaintiff's termination or the process he received "concerned a collateral issue that would have confused the jury unnecessarily" and "thus was properly excluded"). Until the conclusion of the jury trial on the issues remaining in this case, or until such time as the parties otherwise reach a resolution of the dispute, the information obtained from Mr. Luck's Alpha-issued iPhone shall remain subject to the protective order and under seal, except for any information obtained from Mr. Luck's Alpha-issued iPhone related to Mr. Luck's hiring and termination of Mr. Callaway. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the information obtained from Mr. Luck's Alpha-issued iPhone--except to the extent that it relates to Mr. Luck's hiring and termination of Mr. Callaway--shall remain under seal until the conclusion of the jury trial or until such time as the parties reach a resolution of this case.

October 15, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 359 ORDER granting in part and denying in part #350 Motion to Reopen Discovery. "To determine whether good cause to reopen discovery exists, the courts in the Second Circuit generally consider" six factors, including "whether the moving party was diligent in obtaining discovery within the guidelines established by the court," "the foreseeability of the need for additional discovery in light of the time allowed for discovery by the district court," and "the likelihood that the discovery will lead to relevant evidence." Benn v. Metro-North Commuter R.R. Co., No. 3:17-cv-737 (CSH), 2019 WL 6467348, at *10 (D. Conn. Dec. 2, 2019). These factors weigh in favor of reopening discovery to permit Mr. Luck to take a deposition of Cindy Wagner regarding her statements in Privilege Log Entries 80-89, which Defendants improperly withheld as protected by attorney-client privilege. Mr. Luck is not entitled, however, to take another deposition of Jeffrey Pollack. Privilege Log Entries 80-89 indicate that Mr. Luck forwarded the e-mail chain discussing the player criteria to Mr. Pollack, who in turn requested guidance on public statements regarding the criteria. In view of this brief exchange, and the fact that Mr. Luck already has asked Mr. Pollack about the player criteria during a prior deposition, a further deposition is not "proportional to the needs of the case...." Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1). Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Mr. Luck's motion to reopen discovery as to Ms. Wagner and DENIES the motion as to Mr. Pollack. Mr. Luck may take a deposition of Ms. Wagner, for no more than one hour, regarding her statements in Entries 80-89 by October 29, 2021. Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 10/15/2021. (Lee, Diana)

October 14, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 352 ORDER. In its Ruling and Order on Pending Motions, ECF No. #326 , the Court ordered Defendants to submit a subset of documents to the Court for in camera review. The Court finds that Defendants may not assert the attorney-client privilege with respect to these communications as to Mr. Luck. Courts within this Circuit have recognized the general "doctrine that treats a director and a corporation as 'joint clients' of the company's attorneys for purposes of privilege claims." Sampedro v. Silver Point Cap., L.P., 818 Fed. Appx. 14, 18 (2d Cir. 2020) (quoting Newmarkets Partners, LLC v. Sal. Oppenheim Jr. & Cie. S.C.A., 258 F.R.D. 95, 104 (S.D.N.Y. 2009)). "When two or more persons... jointly consult an attorney, their confidential communications with the attorney... will of course be privileged in a controversy of either or both of the clients with the outside world." Newmarkets Partners, LLC, 258 F.R.D. at 104 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). "However, where the two original clients... fall out between themselves and become engaged in a controversy," the privilege is inapplicable. Id. (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Each of the challenged communications submitted by Defendants for in camera review was sent or received by Mr. Luck in the course of his employment as Commissioner and CEO of the XFL. His relationship to the XFL, moreover, "fits the analogy to a party who becomes adverse to former co-clients." Id. at 105. While Defendants may have a basis for withholding these documents from third parties, they may not assert the attorney-client privilege in order to withhold these communications from Mr. Luck. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Mr. Luck's motion to compel, ECF No. #158 , as to Privilege Log Entries 33, 37, 123-124, 201, 230, 347, 349, 351, and 362-364. Defendants shall disclose these documents, unredacted, to Mr. Luck by October 15, 2021. Because "adversity between former co-clients does not eliminate assertions of privilege or work-product protection against third parties," Mr. Luck may not disseminate to other parties confidential information he has received as Commissioner and CEO of the XFL. Newmarkets Partners, LLC, 259 F.R.D. at 105. Thus, the Court sua sponte issues a protective order prohibiting the disclosure of the documents listed above to third parties, except to counsel of record and their associates, paralegals, and regularly employed office staff for the purposes of this litigation. If Mr. Luck wishes to use any of these documents in support of his claims, he shall file a motion to modify this protective order as to these communications with the Court.Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 10/14/2021. (Lee, Diana)
October 13, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 351 ORDER: Defendants shall respond to Mr. Luck's #350 Motion to Reopen Discovery by October 14, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. EST. Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 10/13/2021. (Lee, Diana)
October 12, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 350 MOTION to Take Deposition from Cindy Wagner and Jeffrey Pollack by Oliver Luck. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit, #2 Exhibit, #3 Exhibit)(McHazlett, Jared)
October 8, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 349 ORDER granting #334 Motion to Compel. With respect to the first and third topics identified by Mr. Luck, see Ex. A to Pl.'s Renewed Mot. to Compel Rule 30(b)(6) Dep. of Def. Alpha Entertainment, LLC, ECF No. 334-1 (Sept. 28, 2021), Mr. Luck has identified with sufficient clarity the facts and topics of uncertainty he intends to confirm, Ruling and Order on Pending Mots. at 47, ECF No. 326 (Sept. 17, 2021) ("Ruling and Order") (denying motion to compel Rule 30(b)(6) deposition where Mr. Luck "d[id] not... identify with sufficient clarity the facts or topics of uncertainty he intends to confirm"). With respect to Topic 3, Mr. Luck seeks discovery only as to the fact or date of any review by Alpha of his computer and/or e-mail correspondence for the March 13, 2020 to April 9, 2020 period, see Pl.'s Reply in Supp. of Renewed Mot. to Compel Rule 30(b)(6) Dep. of Def. Alpha Entertainment, LLC at 5, ECF No. 347 (Oct. 6, 2021), and this inquiry will be permitted. Consistent with this Court's prior Order, however, Mr. Luck may not seek privileged information regarding Alpha's review of his computer and e-mail communications. Ruling and Order at 33-34, 38-39, 53-56. As to the second topic, Mr. Luck seeks information regarding the "drafting, creation and circulation of the XFL Employee Handbook & Code of Business Conduct [("Employee Handbook")], and its effective date," but has admitted that the handbook was issued on or about October 2018. See Alpha Entertainment LLC's Mem. in Opp'n to Pl.'s Renewed Mot. to Compel Rule 30(b)(6) Dep. at 10, ECF No. 344 (Oct. 4, 2021) ("Opp'n") (citing Ex. 3 to Opp'n at 10, ECF No. 344-3 (Oct. 4, 2021)). "Since depositions are inherently time-consuming and inefficient, they ought to be productive and not simply an excuse to seek information that is already known," Dongguk Univ. v. Yale Univ., 270 F.R.D. 70, 74 (D. Conn. 2010) (internal citation and quotation marks omitted), and there is no reason to have a deposition regarding this information. But Mr. Luck can ask the corporation representative information regarding who drafted any specific policy in the Employee Handbook related to this case, at whose direction any such drafting was done, and when the company began circulating the Employee Handbook. Accordingly, Mr. Luck's motion to compel the deposition of person or person(s) designated by Alpha pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) is GRANTED as to Topics 1, 2 and 3, only to the extent permitted under this Order. The Court does not anticipate awarding expenses in connection with this motion, and instead expects each party to bear its own costs with respect to the litigation regarding this motion. Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(5)(A) (providing that the court must not order payment if "the opposing party's nondisclosure, response or objection was substantially justified").Signed by Judge Victor A.

To the extent Alpha takes the position that discovery is closed and, therefore, it does not need to respond to Mr. Luck's Rule 30(b)(6) deposition, Alpha misinterprets the Court's Ruling and Order, ECF No. 326 at 47-48 (dismissing without prejudice Mr. Luck's motion to compel a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of Alpha's corporate representatives because he did not "specify which corporate representatives he s[ought] to depose, nor d[id] he identify with sufficient clarity the facts or topics of uncertainty he inten[ded] to confirm").

January 12, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 139 ORDER. Given the numerous discovery issues in this relatively new case, and as a means to manage it towards an expeditious resolution, see Dietz v. Bouldin, 136 S. Ct. 1885, 1892 (2016) ("[D]istrict courts have the inherent authority to manage their dockets and courtrooms with a view toward the efficient and expedient resolution of cases."), the Court hereby orders the following: First, as to the outstanding discovery disputes, ECF Nos. #106 , #107 , #108 , #110 , #136 , #137 , the parties will have until January 15, 2021 to file any further responses.Second, following any additional filings by January 15, 2021, the Court will resolve the outstanding discovery disputes, including the issue as to the passcode to Mr. Luck's XFL-issued cellphone, based on the parties' written submissions without any further oral argument.Third, following the resolution of these outstanding discovery issues, for any further discovery disputes between the parties, the Court will suspend its Chambers Practice of requiring discovery conferences before the filing of motions to compel or motions for protective orders. The parties may file such motions without a discovery conference, and the Court will address any such motions based on the parties' written submissions alone, and to the extent appropriate, will issue sanctions in the form of attorney's fees and expenses to the losing party. Fourth, as to the outstanding and dueling motions for a prejudgment remedy, the Court will give the parties until January 22, 2021 to determine if these motions can be mooted out by stipulation. If these motions can be mooted out by a stipulation entered into by both parties by January 22, 2021, the Court will give the parties until thirty (30) days after the Court's ruling on the outstanding discovery motions to submit a proposed and expedited schedule for the trial of this case, perhaps as early as the end of this year. If the parties cannot reach a stipulation mooting out the pending motions for a prejudgment remedy by January 22, 2021, the parties shall submit by January 29, 2021 a joint filing indicating the amount of time necessary for a consolidated hearing on both motions, as well as witness and exhibit lists. Based on this filing, the Court then will determine when a consolidated hearing can be held.Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 1/12/2020. (Shaffer, Chelsea)

IMPORTANT NOTICE - REDACTION OF TRANSCRIPTS: To remove personal identifier information from the transcript, a party must electronically file a Notice of Intent to Request Redaction with the Clerk's Office within seven (7) calendar days of this date.

December 23, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 124 ORDER. Due to the parties' failure to reach an agreement regarding the spoliation stipulation ordered by the Court, see ECF No. 111, and the misrepresentations or misunderstandings of Plaintiff's counsel at the Discovery Conference on December 17, 2020 as to the previous deletion of information on the Alpha-issued cellphone, the Court orders that Plaintiff's counsel obtain the passcode and provide it to Defendants' counsel by December 24, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. in order to properly preserve the evidence on the cellphone while the underlying merits of the passcode issue are considered. See Dietz v. Bouldin, 136 S. Ct. 1885, 1892 (2016) ("[D]istrict courts have the inherent authority to manage their dockets and courtrooms with a view toward the efficient and expedient resolution of cases.").The issue of whether any information obtained from the cellphone can be used in the litigation or is properly discoverable will await the Discovery Conference on January 12, 2021 and possibly other proceedings. During the interim period before the January 12, 2021 Discovery Conference, Defendants shall designate a technology professional who will ensure the preservation of the information on the cellphone. This designee shall not share the information on the cellphone with any other persons, including counsel for Defendants, or otherwise alter the information preserved on the cellphone, unless or until instructed by the Court. Counsel for Defendants shall submit a declaration confirming compliance with this order by January 8, 2021. If the Court ultimately resolves the passcode issue in Plaintiff's favor, the technology designee will be directed to destroy any and all information or copies obtained from the cellphone under this order.The Court also reminds all counsel that any communication with the Court shall be through a proper filing on the docket, and not through an e-mail to the Court, even if all parties involved in the case are copied on the e-mail. Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 12/23/2020. (Shaffer, Chelsea)
