Defendants.

DEFENDANTS’ NOTICE OF PENDING, REFILED, RELATED OR SIMILAR ACTION

In accordance with Local Rule 3.8, Defendants Thomas Brady, Kevin O’Leary, and David 

Ortiz hereby provide notice of the related case, Norris, et al. v. Brady, et al., No. 23-cv-20439-

ALTONAGA/Damian, which was removed to this Court on February 3, 2023, and was assigned 

to Chief Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga. The Norris action is brought by plaintiffs who are purported 

members of the putative class in this action, names as the defendants three of the defendants in 

this action (Thomas Brady, Kevin O’Leary, and David Ortiz), and involves subject matter which 

is a material part of the subject matter of this action. Disposition of the Norris action would appear 

to entail the unnecessary duplication of judicial labor if heard by a different Judge. See S.D. Fla. 

I.O.P. 2.15.00; see also S.D. Fla. I.O.P. 2.06.00.

Respectfully submitted,
