Dish Seeks Judicial Action of Univision Motion to Dismiss Distribution Rights Beef

Dish Network is prodding a U.S. District judge about a pending motion to dismiss its suit against Univision. A letter (in Pacer) last week to Judge Alison Nathan of Manhattan in docket 17-cv-05148-AJN reminded her that Univision filed a motion Oct. 13 to dismiss the complaint alleging the broadcaster breached a distribution agreement by streaming some Mexican soccer matches via Facebook Live without also providing rights to Dish. The MVPD opposed the motion and said it has been 270 days since the motion was fully briefed.
