Report: Judge grants University of Miami’s motion for summary judgment in Al Golden breach of contract suit

Mark down one final loss for Al Golden relating to his time at Miami.

According to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, a federal judge granted the University of Miami’s motion for summary judgment this week, ending the lawsuit filed by Golden to recoup over $3 million following his dismissal during the 2015 season.

For those that aren’t aware, a judge will grant a motion for summary judgment (which is filed during the pre-trial/discovery phase of the case) only when there is “no genuine issue or dispute at to any material fact.” If there is even a scintilla of proof to the contrary, no matter how small, the judge must deny summary judgment and continue with the case.
