Razorback Foundation files new motion to dismiss in Bielema lawsuit

FAYETTEVILLE — Attorneys for the Razorback Foundation on Wednesday asked a federal judge to dismiss the amended lawsuit by former University of Arkansas football coach Bret Bielema.

It is the second motion to dismiss filed by the foundation since Bielema originally sued June 12. The foundation’s first motion to dismiss was ordered moot by U.S. District Judge P.K. Holmes III when the amended lawsuit was filed July 2.

Attorney Marshall S. Ney, who represents the foundation, writes in the latest motion that the court “is not required to accept the truth of these new allegations because they directly contradict factual allegations made by Bielema in his original complaint and even before.
