Scheduling Order Entered in Second Innovative Sports Management Suit Against Rodriguez

Innovative Sports Management, Inc. filed suit against Paul Rodriguez and unnamed co-defendants in case 25-cv-10877. The complaint has not yet surfaced in the public record in detail, but the docket number places the filing in early 2025.

No judge has been assigned.

The case involves a sports management dispute. is the plaintiff; Paul Rodriguez is the named defendant. The nature of the claims — breach of contract, tortious interference, or something else — is not yet clear from the available record.

On April 19, 2026, the court issued a pretrial and trial scheduling order. That order is form-only under Rule 16, meaning the court set a procedural calendar rather than ruling on the merits. A Rule 16 scheduling order typically locks in deadlines for discovery, motions, and trial.

The fact that one issued means the case survived any early dispositive challenge and is moving toward litigation on the merits.

No judge assignment appears in the current record. That gap is unusual at the scheduling-order stage and may reflect a clerical lag in the public docket rather than an actual vacancy on the case.
