In the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division
Case: 1:19-cv-02727 Document #: 28 Filed: 07/19/19 Page 1 of 9 PageID #:335 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION OLABINJO OSUNDAIRO and ABIMBOLA OSUNDAIRO, Individually, Case No. 19-cv-2727 Plaintiffs, v. Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly MARK GERAGOS, TINA GLANDIAN, and GERAGOS & GERAGOS LAW FIRM, Defendants. MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF THE DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SANCTIONS UNDER RULE 11 INTRODUCTION Plaintiffs have blatantly violated Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 by falsely asserting the source of an allegedly defamatory statement, by grossly mischaracterizing a defendant’s statements, and by pursuing a claim for respondeat superior that is not warranted by existing law. Plaintiffs attributed the statement about Plaintiffs’ bodybuilding techniques to Jussie Smollett’s lawyer, Tina Glandian, knowing that it was their own lawyer, Gloria Schmidt, who uttered it to the media.1 Also, in their zeal to drag a well-known lawyer into the case, Plaintiffs mischaracterized Mark Geragos’ statements, and their allegations against him are unfounded in fact. Finally, in an effort to dig into the pockets of Ms. Glandian’s law firm with their frivolous lawsuit, Plaintiffs filed an improper separate claim for respondeat superior. Unfortunately for Plaintiffs, the Illinois Supreme Court and this Court have determined that respondeat superior is not a separate cause of action. Defendants seek an order dismissing Plaintiffs’ baseless claims with prejudice and 1 Ms. Schmidt represents Plaintiffs in this matter. Case: 1:19-cv-02727 Document #: 28 Filed: 07/19/19 Page 2 of 9 PageID #:335 requiring Plaintiffs and their counsel to pay Defendants’ reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in bringing this motion. -

Dance History – a Brief Overview
Dance History – a brief overview French Court spectacles of the 16th & 17th centuries existed to glorify the state and the monarchy. They were essentially a mixture of art, politics and entertainment – plays, with musical interludes. Courtiers and noblemen wore heavy ornate costumes and masks and any dancing consisted largely of groups of people moving in intrictae patterns around the space. Women’s roles as such, were invariably played by men. Dancing was considered to be a very social activity and at the end of these evenings in court, the audience joined the noblemen and danced a long dance, often led by a royal or state official. During these centuries, ballet in France gradually progressed from this sort of entertainment for the court noblemen (who had little or no formal training,) into a professional art form. This was definitely helped along by Louis X1V, who started the process of the creation of the ‘Academie Royale de Danse’ in 1661. The purpose of the academie was to train dancers to perform in the King’s opera ballets. (Ballet & opera had not yet evolved into separate art forms.) The 18th century saw the age of the brilliant dancers, technical elements of dancing were inproved by the sheer raise in standard of the dancers. This century saw the rise of the so called ‘ballet d’action,’ in which stories unfolded purely through the dancers’ movements. In 1760, a dancer and choreographer, Jean Georges Noverre published his ‘Letters on dancing and ballets’ – which were very influencial on choreographers right across Europe. Noverre shunned the use of masks.
