NFLPA Files Collusion Lawsuit Against NFL, Owners

Actually, I think it means he is leaning towards a dismissal. Not sure about the Federal Rules but, in Maryland, a Judge cannot grant a dispositive motion without a hearing i.e. judge's can't dispose of a case through dismissal or summary judgment without an oral hearing giving each side a chance to make argument.

Alternatively, he could have denied the Motion to Dismiss without a hearing which then would have moved the case into the discovery phase.

Right now it is in limbo - not moving forward, but not dismissed.

I'll check the Federal Rules when I get into work.
