Attorneys for Dish Network came out swinging in the U.S District Court for the District of Columbia on Monday (9/23), as the direct broadcast satellite service provider asked the federal judicial body to impose monetary sanctions on Soohyung Kim and his SGCI Holdings III LLC along with their counsel.
In short, Dish, represented by Elyse Echtman at Steptoe LLP, calls Kim’s lawsuit against the FCC for alleged civil rights violations — a legal action that saw Dish and its leader, Charlie Ergen, called as non-government defendants — “nothing more than an expensive temper tantrum thrown by an entitled entrepreneur who is irate over the fact that the FCC did not give him exactly what he wanted exactly when he wanted it.”
