10/17/200820 MINUTES - IN CHAMBERS by Judge Percy Anderson: Before the Court is an "Amended Motion to Vacate Arbitration Award" filed by plaintiff Floyd Landis 17 . The Court construes the Amended Motion as a Petition to Vacate Arbitration Award and will accept it, and the exhibits accompanying it 19 , for filing. Plaintiff also filed a Memorandum of Points and Authorities in support of the Petition 18 . The Memorandum of Points and Authorities was not accompanied by a Notice of Motion as required by Local Rule 6-1. Because plaintiff has not filed a Notice of Motion, plaintiff has violated the Local Rules by failing to provide the required notice of the proposed hearing. The Court therefore strikes the Memorandum of Points and Authorities 18 . Court Reporter: Not Reported. (gk) (Entered: 10/20/2008)

TbV,
Thank you for your effort!
Are there any new discussions/arguments about this topic yet? I cannot find them if they're there...

DR said...

It might be noted that a response to a USOC motion for summary judgment is due Monday in the Gatlin Case.

In the course of the discussion of the pending court action by Floyd against the USADA, the subject of the earlier challenge to CAS arbitration by Olympic hopeful Justin Gatlin is commonly cited with the suggestion that it is “precedent” that should be dispositive of Floyd’s case.

However nothing could be further from actuality.

There are similarities. Both cases involve allegations of “doping” and both involve arbitration before the CAS.

(And both Mr. Landis and Mr Gatlin have been sued by Jonathan Lee Riches see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Lee_Riches )

However beyond those details, the cases have surprisingly little in common.

The parties are different, the sports are different, the facts are different and because of these the underlying law is different.

So far in Gatlin, the assertion by USOC that only Swiss Courts have jurisdiction has not been challenged, primarily because Gatlin is not raising issues that revolve around that. What is legally interesting, though, is that the USOC appears to be using the ploy of repeating something enough times so that it is viewed as true (especially in the absence of direct contradiction), despite being unsupported by any viable authority. I won't elaborate for now.

However, that unchallenged assertion by the USOC has NOT been the basis of the court's decisions against Gatlin (vacating a temporary restraining order against the USOC)

Procedurally, Gatlin has dismissed the only non-US defendant. This might be related to trying to establish that the FAA applies. The problem with this is that Gatlin has not really alleged facts which would allow him to prevail under the FAA and its standards for vacating an arbitration award.

In vacating the TRO the Gatlin Court has already ruled once that it has no jurisdiction but, so far, not based on any law that applies to Floyd's case.

But there will be discussion of (and ruling on) jurisdictional issues which will be worth looking at. There is good chance that the actual ruling by the Gatlin Court will not be in time to be taken into account by Floyd, but the pleadings should be informative.

Highwheel,

there has been comment discussion in the other posts on the federal appeal; look for ones with comments in this tag search:

Federal Case Posts

DR, "The Swiss Assumption" does seem to be an article of faith repeated often by the Alphabets. Let's see if it holds up to scrutiny, and is what is argued in the reply brief to this case.

An interesting question is when the legal bill for USADA's defense in this case will get close to the $100,000 they are trying to collect, and at what point they might decide to try to cut their losses.
