ESPN’s
application is CONTINUED to 6/26/2025 at 8:30 a.m., to allow for service on the
LA Clippers and e-filing of the application to this Court.
On 12/14/2020, Plaintiff Johnny Wilkes (Plaintiff) filed

of contract; (2) breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (3)
promissory estoppel; (4) intentional misrepresentation; (5) concealment; and
(6) false promise.
Now, ESPN moves for Application for Viewing and/or
Reproduction of Trial Court Exhibits.
However, ESPN did not upload a copy of the Application to
the Court’s electronic docket, nor was the LA Clippers served with a copy of
the application. As such, the Defendant Clippers have not had the opportunity
to oppose the application on the merits.
ESPN’s application is continued, to allow for service on
the LA Clippers and submission of the application to this Court.
It is so ordered.
