It was reported in July that David Adrian Smith filed suit against parties closely associated with the XFL, including Vince McMahon, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Dani Garcia, ESPN, and others. The lawsuit alleged that all parties involved have been made privy to, used, and/or shared “disclosed confidential trade information.”
According to a new report from Pwinsider, the court asked Smith on August 5th to fill out a questionnaire regarding his reasoning for moving forward with the lawsuit. Smith echoed his previous statements and asked if he was allowed to move forward with the suit without paying court fees. Smith claimed he doesn’t have the financial resources or backing as the defendants and needs to divert resources to an unrelated legal matter that he claimed was “false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious protection and violation of civil rights.” The legal issues reportedly come from Smith not adhering to mask mandates on Texas public transportation last year.
As of this writing, there has reportedly been no movement beyond the questionnaire. There is also no record of the defendants being served the lawsuit.
