The long-running legal battle between DraftKings and a former executive could be nearing an armistice.
Attorneys for Michael Hermalyn and DraftKings noted in a Tuesday court filing that the two sides “are negotiating a potential resolution” of a federal lawsuit that began days after Hermalyn left for Fanatics Sportsbook in February.
DraftKings sought and won an injunction that hamstrung Hermalyn’s day-to-day duties at Fanatics earlier this year, though Hermalyn is expecting his first victory in the bicoastal legal battle over the enforcement of his non-compete agreement as part of a separate case in California.
U.S. District Court Judge Julia Kobick granted a request Tuesday from Hermalyn and DraftKings to stay proceedings in the federal case until Nov. 20.
