This issue may also soon surface in the related North Carolina federal court action, which is on a considerably faster track than the Florida case. None of this has occurred yet, meaning that discovery in the North Carolina case is on hold for now. The battle over the relevancy of Williamson’s past eligibility at Duke will likely surface in the North Carolina federal case in either of two ways. Or, alternatively, once the parties get the go-ahead to start discovery in North Carolina, Williamson’s attorneys could file a motion for a protective order similar to the one they filed late last week in Florida. One way or another, the relevancy issue will be teed up shortly in North Carolina.
