According to Kyros, the judge failed to clarify the authority under which she acted. With the Second Circuit upholding the order, Kyros warns of a “radical impermissible expansion” of the court’s powers, asserting that decisions in lower courts may now sidestep due process notice requirements.
The Background: Wrestling with Allegations of Hidden Truths
Kyros, representing former WWE wrestlers, alleges that the injuries sustained in the ring led to serious health issues and deaths. U.S. District Judge Vanessa L. Bryant issued sanctions in a consolidated case, citing Kyros’s “highly questionable practices” of filing extensive and inflammatory complaints.
In October, the Second Circuit upheld the penalty, denying Kyros’s bid for a full court rehearing. Undeterred, he sought a 90-day stay to appeal to the Supreme Court, a move opposed by WWE. The Second Circuit, in November, rejected Kyros’s motion for a stay without providing detailed reasoning.
Kyros, standing alone, declined to comment, while WWE representatives remained unreachable at the time of reporting.
