Court Hears Oral Argument on Motions to Dismiss in Pacquiao Mayweather Litigation

On March 3, 2011, Judge Larry R. Hicks of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada heard oral argument on Richard Schaefer and Oscar De la Hoya's motion to dismiss Pacquiao's complaint and Mayweather Promotions, LLC's motion to dismiss. 

After hearing argument, the Court took the motions under advisement except it denied the "Anti Slapp" portion of defendants Schaefer and De la Hoya's Motion to Dismiss.

Specifically, the Court's Minute Entry provides in relevant part as follows:

MINUTES OF PROCEEDINGS - IT IS ORDERED that the Anti Slapp portion of defendants Schaefer and De la Hoya's Motion to Dismiss 15 is DENIED. The Court addresses counsel. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the remainder of defendant's motion 15 and defendant's motion 49 stands submitted. Court adjourns.

I will keep monitoring for a decision.  In the meantime, here is a post where I provide earlier links to my legal analysis on the motions.
