EXCLUSIVE, updated with statements from David Simon and WGA East
Writer-producer David Simon, the outspoken critic of TV packaging who in April joined the WGA’s anti-packaging lawsuit against Hollywood’s Big Four talent agencies, has dismissed his individual claims against
The one-paragraph legalese dismissal of his seven individual counter-claims against CAA states: “Counterclaimant David Simon’s individual counterclaims styled as his Fifth through Eleventh Claims for Relief in Defendants’ Answer to First Consolidated Complaint and Defendants’ and Counterclaimants’ Consolidated Counterclaims, Doc. No. 44, are hereby voluntarily dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41.
CAA attorney Richard Kendall had warned Simon and the guild’s lawyers September 6 that they could be sanctioned by the court if they didn’t dismiss his individual claims because they allegedly knew that his packaging claims were time-barred and “affirmatively false” – which would violate Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The guild’s counterclaim, Kendall said in his letter, “is brought not only on behalf of the WGA, but also on behalf of certain individuals, including David Simon, Meredith Stiehm, and Barbara Hall. Each of the claims from these individuals is – as the WGA and the writers well know – already released or barred by the statute of limitations. CAA already alerted the WGA to this deficiency in the state case, and there is no dispute about it whatsoever.
