Pac-12 Suit vs. Dish Over Unpaid License Fees is Terminated

U.S. District Judge Nina Wang in Denver signed an order Tuesday terminating the Pac-12 Network’s breach of contract complaint alleging that Dish Network’s demand to return license fees to compensate for the COVID-19-shortened 2020 college football season was contrary to their license agreement (see 2210070043). The Pac-12 filed a notice of voluntary dismissal Oct. 13, two days after Wang issued a show cause order (docket 1:22-cv-02620) indicating that the allegations in the complaint were insufficient for the court “to assure itself of diversity jurisdiction in this case.”
