LEGAL representatives for Lauderhill Mayor Richard Kaplan have filed a motion seeking to dismiss the USA Cricket Association lawsuit which is attempting to stop six Caribbean Premier League (CPL) games at the Central Broward Regional Park in Florida next week.
Douglas T. Marx, of law firm Waldman Trigoboff Hildebrandt Marx & Calnan, filed a motion yesterday on behalf of Kaplan, arguing for a dismissal on procedural grounds as well as defending the sanctioning process as legitimate.
A suit was filed on Monday by former USACA executive secretary Kenwyn Williams, with USACA as a co-plaintiff, claiming that the CPL had violated sanctioning procedures by going through the ICC to receive permission to stage the event in Florida instead of USACA, the governing body in the USA.
“This action is impermissibly filed by an individual pro se litigant, not licensed to practice law in Florida, on behalf of a legal entity, USA Cricket Association, which is required to file any proceeding through licensed Florida counsel,” Marx wrote. (ESPNcricinfo)
