Antitrust Plaintiffs previously timely filed a motion for
relief from the February 27, 2012 order. On March 19, 2012, the
Court set a briefing schedule on their first motion for relief.
In the February 27, 2012 order, the Magistrate Judge gave The Big
Ten Conference, The Big Ten Network and Fox Broadcasting Company
leave to file a motion for sanctions against Antitrust Plaintiffs,
and they subsequently did so. After noting that, in their
opposition to the motions for sanctions, Antitrust Plaintiffs had
raised before the Magistrate Judge many of the same arguments that
they made in their motion for relief and sought the same relief,
the Court denied Antitrust Plaintiffs’ motion for relief without
prejudice to renewal after the Magistrate Judge had ruled on the
pending motions for sanctions. The Magistrate Judge did so in the
August 7, 2012 order, and Plaintiffs filed the instant motion
thereafter.
