In another setback for UCLA, judge rules Rose Bowl lawsuit can proceed

Source: New York Post

In a ruling that clears the way for the Rose Bowl’s breach-of-contract case against UCLA to proceed, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge has denied the school’s bid for a dismissal. Judge Joseph Lipner on Thursday rejected UCLA’s attempt to throw out the case via an anti-SLAPP motion, writing that the court shouldn’t consider such a motion because it was “untimely and unsupported by sufficient cause to permit late filing. ” Lipner noted that UCLA filed its request for the motion in March – 125 days after being served with the complaint in a case that has stretched into its eighth month.
