MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Plaintiffs, through their undersigned attorneys, hereby move the
Court for a declaration that Defendants’ “lockout” violates Section 1 of the
Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. §1. In addition, the “Under-Contract Plaintiffs” – Brady,
Brees, Robison and Umenyiora – seek a declaration that Defendants are breaching
their Player Contracts for 2011 by refusing to pay amounts contractually owed and
by depriving them the opportunity to render services as professional football
players.
Plaintiffs’ motion is made pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 56 and is based upon the accompanying Memorandum of Law, Exhibits
and Declarations, and all pleadings and papers on file in this action, together with
such additional argument and evidence as may be presented in connection with the
hearing of the motion.
