Opinion
20 Civ. 4737 (PGG)
03-25-2022
JESSICA DENSON, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, INC., Defendant,
ORDER
PAUL G. GARDEPHE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Omarosa Newman has moved to intervene - pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24 - in this putative class action. (Dkt. No. 66) Newman argues that she is entitled to intervene because Defendant has “sued [her] in arbitration on [the] invalid and unenforceable confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions” of the agreement at issue in this matter. (Dkt. No. 67 at 4)
On October 27, 2021, Plaintiff notified this Court that Newman prevailed in arbitration. (Dkt. No. 72) In a September 24, 2021 ruling, the arbitrator granted Newman summary judgment, finding that “the confidentiality [and non-disparagement] provisions are vague, indefinite, and therefore void and unenforceable.” (Dkt. No. 72-1 at 13, 15).
By 5:00 p.m. on March 29, 2022, Newman will submit a letter addressing why her motion is not moot in light of the arbitrator's September 24, 2021 ruling. (Id.)
SO ORDERED.
