Accordingly, the Clerk shall strike Document Number 197. The Plaintiffs may file a motion to late file its response, providing the Court good cause for the motion. Signed by Chief Judge Waverly D.

The parties submitted a joint statement of the issue which is set out with this order. Mr. D'Amore is listed by the defendant as an Executive Vice President. As such he is under the control of the defendant even though he lives in Canada. He apparently works out of a Nashville office at times. He is also a minority stockholder of the Plaintiff. As a shareholder the Plaintiff has no control over him based on that fact alone. Since he is an officer of the Defendant he may be noticed for a deposition. A subpoena is not needed. Rehau v. Colortech, Inc. 145 FRD 444 (WDMI 1993). The parties are free to work out the logistics of the deposition which will not exceed 3 hours and may be taken by telephone or video as the parties agree either here or in Canada. (JBB)

February 26, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 56 ORDER: A telephone conference was held in this matter today. The issue involves a discovery request by the plaintiff for documents that are in the possession of the Defendant and appear relevant to the litigation, but which are subject to a protective order requiring a court order before the defendant can disclose them. The joint statement setting out the issue will be filed as the next entry in this case. After considering the joint statement and the discussion at the conference, the Defendant is directed to produce the documents. They will be deemed confidential and may be filed under seal absent any request to unseal or an order by the court to unseal. Redacted copies may be used if appropriate. Given that the other party to the confidential agreement is not a party to this issue, this order is stayed for fourteen (14) days for any objections that may be filed. If objections are filed, the order will be stayed further pending resolution of the objections. The defendant is directed to notify the other party(s) to the confidential agreement of this order. (JBB) Modified on 2/26/2019 (rd).

February 21, 2019 Filing 54 SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT against Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp., Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC, filed by Global Force Entertainment, Inc., Jeffrey Jarrett. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit A - Copyright Application Receipts, #2 Exhibit B - Responses to Requests for Production)(gb)
February 21, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 53 ORDER granting #40 Motion to file Second Amend Complaint. While the Plaintiff could have filed the amended complaint within 21 days of the motions to dismiss (DE 23, 28) without leave of court under F.R. Cv. Proc. 15(a)(1)(B), they did not, so permission of the court is required under Rule 15(a)(2) and should be freely given in the interests of justice. If the amendment would be futile, as the defendant argues (DE 43), it may be denied. The defendant argues the amendment would not cure the defects they contend doom the pending complaint. However, in order to determine if that is correct, the court would have to decide the motions to dismiss. It would be better to allow the amendment and for the defendant to refile their motions to dismiss so there can be one decision by the District Judge that resolves the issues. The plaintiffs have had their second bite at the apple with the second amended complaint. Any further attempt to amend would likely be denied. It is relatively early in the case and the proposed amendment is well within the time allowed for a motion to amend. In view of the amended complaint, the Clerk will terminate the motions to dismiss without prejudice to the defendant refiling them in response to the amended complaint. Any response to a refiled motion to dismiss will be due within 21 days and any reply limited to 5 pages will be due 7 days after a response. (JBB) Modified on 2/21/2019 (rd).
February 21, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 52 ORDER denying #50 Motion to Compel without Prejudice.

If counsel wants to follow up on this motion he should scheduleda conference call with me on the matter. (JBB) Modified on 2/22/2019 (af).
