May 14, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 183 FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: For the reasons explained above, the Court concludes that OMG has failed to prove its claims for breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Bloomberg's counterclaim for trademark infringement is also not proven. However, Bloomberg has met its burden of proving its counterclaims for breach of contract against both OMG and OMSI. The Court awards Bloomberg $17,386,082 in damages and determines that OSMI is jointly responsible for $3,761,081 of that award. Bloomberg is also entitled to reasonable costs, including attorneys' fees. Bloomberg may submit a motion for costs and fees no later than June 4, 2021. OMG may file a response no later than June 18, 2021. Bloomberg may then submit a reply no later than June 25, 2021. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alison J.

April 17, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 91 OPINION AND ORDER: For the reasons given above, Optima's motion to dismiss Bloomberg's first counterclaim for breach of contract is granted solely as to Bloomberg's counterclaim against Optima Sports, with the exception of any alleged breaches by Optima Sports of paragraph 10( d) of the Agreement. The Court also dismisses Bloomberg's second counterclaim in part, dismissing it as to trademark infringement under the Lanham Act, but not as to its New York common law counterclaim . Finally, the Court dismisses Bloomberg's third counterclaim for fraudulent inducement in its entirety. Bloomberg has already amended its counterclaims once in response to Optima's initial motion, which pressed the same arguments as those Optima raises here. Moreover, Bloomberg has not requested an opportunity to amend nor stated what amendments, if any, it would seek to make. For those reasons, these dismissals are with prejudice. See Gallop, 642 F.3d at 369, Bloomberg's previou s motion to dismiss, Dkt. No. 52, is hereby dismissed as moot. This resolves docket items numbers 52 and 60. Pursuant to the discovery schedule agreed to by the parties, all fact discovery shall be completed within 120 days after the date of this Ord er and all expe1t discovery shall be completed 180 days after the date of this Order.
