In Hudson v. National Football League Management Council, Judge Woods granted defendants’ motions to dismiss because Hudson did not fix his complaint’s problems.
Christopher Hudson and the defendants named in the case; the case was closed after the defendants’ motions to dismiss were granted.
What happened
Hudson sued the National Football League Management Council and other defendants. The opinion says Hudson had previously received permission to file an amended complaint after problems were found in his original complaint.
The defendants asked the court to dismiss the case. The court found that Hudson’s revised pleading still did not fix the identified problems.
Judge Woods granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss, denied further permission to amend because doing so would be futile, and closed the case.

Background
Christopher Hudson sued the National Football League Management Council, the National Football League Players Association, the Retirement Board of the Bert Bell/Pete Rozelle NFL Player Retirement Plan, and several individuals. The judgment states that Hudson had previously been allowed to revise his original complaint after the court identified deficiencies in it.
Ruling
The defendants filed motions to dismiss. The court concluded that Hudson had not remedied the deficiencies identified in his original complaint. Because Hudson had already been given one opportunity to replead and had not cured the problems, the court found that another amendment would be futile. The court therefore did not grant Hudson further leave to replead.
The court granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss and closed the case. The judgment does not state that the motions were granted with or without prejudice.
