Like co-defendant ICM\u2019s response earlier today, the agency is dismissive \u2013 literally and figuratively of the boutique agency\u2019s antitrust claims and allegations that the so-called \u201cUber\u201d agencies snatched their clients<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt bottom, the SAC reveals that Plaintiff\u2019s concern is not the welfare of directors and other artists seeking representation, who remain free as ever to choose between representation by large agencies, such as UTA, and smaller agencies, such as Plaintiff\u201d says the filing (read it&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/uta-memorandum-in-support-of-motion.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) late Monday by <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.creativespikedigital.com\/lftc\/attorneys\/bryan-j-freedman\/\">lawyers Bryan Freedman<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.creativespikedigital.com\/lftc\/attorneys\/david-m-marmorstein\/\">David Marmorstein of Freedman and Taitelman LLP<\/a> and Steven Marenberg and Melissa Rabbani on Irell and Manella LLP for UTA. While some of the verbiage may differ, the gist and legal arguments are very much in line with what ICM was advocating earlier today. \u201cInstead, Plaintiff\u2019s concern is over its ability to maintain its own clients\u2014not by offering superior service or competitive prices, but by foreclosing UTA and other large agencies from access to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe \u2018poaching\u2019 Plaintiff bemoans is, in fact, perfectly legitimate behavior evidencing healthy and vigorous competition among talent agencies\u201d UTA motion adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also like ICM earlier Monday, UTA want their motion to toss the SAC addressed at a December 21 hearing in federal court in downtown L.A. And they are pretty clear about how that hearing should go: \u201cEnough is enough. The SAC should be dismissed, this time without leave to amend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PREVIOUS, 3:07PM:<\/strong>&nbsp;Just over than a month after Lenhoff &amp; Lenhoff filed a&nbsp;second amended complaint in its&nbsp;antitrust case against&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/icm-partners\/\">ICM Partners<\/a>&nbsp;and UTA, the first agency has hit back today \u2013 hard. \u201cPlaintiff attempts to conjure a Section 1 antitrust conspiracy claim from three baseless hypotheses, each of which takes the catch phrase \u2018conspiracy theory\u2019 to new heights since they are based on nothing more than rank speculation,\u201d said ICM Partners\u2019&nbsp;attorneys in a blunt motion (<a href=\"https:\/\/pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/icm-lenhoff-sac-reply.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">read it here<\/a>) to dismiss the latest&nbsp;complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDespite multiple attempts to amend its pleading, there is no factual allegation in the SAC that remotely suggests a causal link between Plaintiff\u2019s alleged injuries, i.e., the departure of Clients #1 and #2, and the various antitrust conspiracies that Plaintiff has concocted,\u201d Michael Garfinkel and Jacqueline Young of Perkins Cole LLP added of the allegations, which allege Sherman Act violations. Following the court\u2019s instructions of last month, today\u2019s filing proposes a December 21 hearing before federal Judge Beverly Reid O\u2019Connell on the&nbsp;motion. With today the deadline for defendants\u2019 responses, a similar filing from UTA is also expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn response to defendants\u2019 motions to dismiss, we believe that our Sherman Antitrust claim is seeding a case that will ultimately prevail, whether in the present venue or on appeal,\u201d Lenhoff &amp; Lenhoff lawyer Philip Kaplan told Deadline today. \u201cWe\u2019ve already prevailed on the Unfair Competition Claim, and we are confident that our Sherman Antitrust claim, along with the Interference claims, will withstand defendants\u2019 motions to dismiss. Ultimately, this is a test case that may ultimately lead to regulation and be a game changer for the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lenhoff &amp; Lenhoff\u2019s October 2 filing alleged \u201cthat Defendants UTA and ICM have agreed and conspired with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/wme\/\">WME<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/caa\/\">CAA<\/a>&nbsp;to form a \u2018cartel\u2019 or oligopoly.\u201d The result of that dealing \u201chas been to foreclose competition and to protect Defendant\/Uber agencies against competition.\u201d The SAC restated the allegations of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2015\/02\/uta-rejects-antitrust-lawsuit-lenhoff-and-lenhoff-icm-defendant-1201376220\/\">initial February 13 complaint<\/a>&nbsp;that the bigger guys, because of a packaging system that is supposedly weighed in their favor, snatched two of Lenhoff &amp; Lenhoff\u2019s producer clients in 2013. The first amended complaint in the case&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2015\/06\/uta-icm-poaching-antitrust-amended-packaging-diversity-1201441993\/\">was filed in June.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2015\/09\/uta-icm-packaging-lawsuit-lenhoff-lenhoff-antitrust-1201535476\/\">On September 18<\/a>, O\u2019Connell&nbsp;tossed the plaintiff\u2019s claims of a monopoly among the big agencies but allowed the boutique agency to amend the complaint again \u2013 which they did. Pulling WME and CAA further into the mix, the SAC shifted Lenhoff &amp; Lenhoff\u2019s focus to another aspect of the Sherman Act. Dropping the word \u201cmonopoly,\u201d they instead went for the potentially more loaded \u201coligopoly\u201d instead. Neither CAA nor WME are named as defendants in the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn addition to attempting to allege that UTA and ICM Partners entered into alleged anticompetitive agreements, Plaintiff sprinkles into the SAC nearly every buzzword available in antitrust jurisprudence, without any factual or logical support,\u201d ICM Partners said dismissively today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s see if the judge agrees in next month\u2019s hearing in this David-and-Goliaths battle. Before that, a response from Lenhoff &amp; Lenhoff is expected on November 23, with a reply from the defendants on December 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bryan Freedman and David Marmorstein of Freedman and Taitelman LLP plus Steven Marenberg and Melissa Rabbani on Irell and Manella LLP are representing UTA in the case.
