Stamens v. Curry Pork., 267 F.2d 358 (2d Cir. 2005)

OPINION

ADWCTA, Fanball Commissioner.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW



I. INTRODUCTION

The principal question is whether the plaintiff, a Fanball League GM, is entited to provisions under the Fanball Lealgue Constitution to enjoin the defendant, also a Fanball League GM, from completing a trade involving NBA players in their respective fantasy teams.

The plaintiff alleges in their complaint that the defendant knowingly presented false information or withheld important information that served to create an unfair advantage. Furthermore, the plaintiff requests that commissioner injunction to halt the execution of the trade on the grounds that the trade is no longer equitable.

The causes of the action alleged is the result of a trade executed on December 4, 2005 at 10pm Eastern Time. The plaintiff agreed to trade Antawan Jamison and Deshaun Stevenson in return for the players Darius Miles and Stephen Jackson.

The Commissioner holds that the defendant did not violate the implicit trust that is necessary to facilitate equitable player trades in The Fanball League. Additionally, the defendant has acted in good faith and has not fraudulently represented his position in order to promote an unfair trade. The plaintiff is not now entitled to any relief under the Fanball Constitution. This judgement does not rule out future actions that may be obtained through an appeal.


II. FINDINGS OF FACTS

After reviewing available offers and counter offers, executed transtion logs, and timestamps of messages, the court makes the following findings of fact:

Bah, this is getting boring... I'll just paste what ADWCTA posted as his finding of facts......

While Pork did make the offer after Mile's game against Utah, he did not write anything even hinting that Miles was uninjured after that game. That game was the first news I could find on yahoo about Mile's injury.

(The) deal was accepted after the Utah game was over. Miles didn't play in that game. Recap stated Miles MRI required surgery and was placed on the inactive list before the game. All info directly from Yahoo.
