Original quoteIt's not going to happen. It's not going to get thrown out. I don't think this, I love Brian Friedman. He's my lawyer too, but I don't think this case is going to be resolved on summary judgment. I think they're either going to have to settle or go to trial.

How the call settles
Federal court docket in Lively v. Baldoni shows Judge Liman did not dismiss Lively's case on summary judgment — the case instead settled or went to trial
Our reasoning
YES on the research record because Judge Lewis Liman's 152-page opinion of 2026-04-02 granted Baldoni's summary-judgment motion only in part: it dismissed most claims (harassment, defamation, false light) but let three claims — breach of contract, retaliation, and aiding and abetting retaliation — proceed to the May 18 trial. The case was therefore not disposed of on summary judgment; the parties settled on 2026-05-04 before trial.. Applied stored rule: Federal court docket in Lively v. Baldoni shows Judge Liman did not dismiss Lively's case on summary judgment — the case instead settled or went to trial.
