Collegiate Licensing Co. v. American Casualty Co. of Reading, et al, No. 12-10673 (11th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseCLC sought coverage from defendants for the lawsuits filed against it in the Underlying Actions. The Underlying Actions involved allegations that CLC, together with EA and the NCAA, wrongfully profited from the unauthorized and uncompensated use of college athletes' names and likenesses in a variety of mediums, including videogames and televised and print advertisements. This appeal arose from the grant of an injunction by the Georgia district court that enjoined defendants, pursuant to the first-filed rule, from proceeding with intervention complaints filed in a pending lawsuit in California. The court found that the Georgia district court did not impermissibly exercise any de facto authority under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. 1651, and it did not otherwise abuse its discretion by enjoining defendants, pursuant to the first-filed rule, from proceeding with their intervention complaints. Accordingly, the court affirmed the Georgia district court's judgment.
