Janel Grant’s lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, and John Laurinaitis is currently on hold until December 11th at the request of the United States Justice Department.
Last week, Grant’s attorneys filed a petition against Dr. Carlon Colker and his clinic, seeking medical records that she received at the beginning of November 2019. Dr. Colker is not a defendant in the lawsuit.
On Thursday, Jessica Taub Rosenberg, an attorney of Vince McMahon, issued a statement to Wrestlenomics. Rosenberg stated that Grant had violated the federal stay order.
“Today’s motion is in response to Ms. Grant’s flagrant violation of the federal Stay Order. After telling the Federal Court that she would pause her lawsuit, Ms. Grant immediately violated the Stay Order seeking one-sided discovery for her own benefit. Her lawyer told the media that the information sought in the new Connecticut state action is ‘to assist in our claims in the federal action.’ We are asking the federal Court to ensure that Plaintiff abides by the Court’s order and if she does not that civil contempt and financial sanctions may result.”
Vince McMahon is seeking a limited lifting of the stay to enforce the stay.
“Mr. McMahon now asks the Court for a limited lifting of the stay to permit the filing and adjudication of his Motion to Enforce the Court’s Stay Order.”
