MSG Gets Major Win in Ninth Year of Charles Oakley Legal Battle
A judge granted summary judgment in MSG’s favor.
Charles Oakley's legal battle against Madison Square Garden (MSG) over his alleged assault by security guards in 2017 has been dismissed on summary judgment after nine years. U.S. District Judge Richard J. Sullivan ruled in favor of MSG, dismissing all claims against the arena and its entities. Oakley's attorneys plan to seek an immediate jury trial despite the dismissal.
MSG expressed satisfaction with the ruling, stating that Oakley's lawyers pursued claims they knew were false. The case remains open due to two pending motions, but Oakley's team is disappointed with the judge's decision and intends to appeal to the Second Circuit for a third time.
