NEW YORK - Michael Avenatti on Tuesday withdrew his request to subpoena Nike Inc in connection with the federal criminal case accusing the embattled lawyer of extortion, after the company said prosecutors already possessed all the documents he sought.
Nike had also opposed the subpoena in a letter made public on Friday, and Avenatti’s lawyers said they did not know until then that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York already had the documents they wanted. Prosecutors accused Avenatti of threatening to publicize claims that Nike arranged for payments to elite college basketball recruits unless the athletic wear company paid him more than $20 million and hired him to manage an internal probe.
In a decision late Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Deborah Batts in Manhattan rejected Avenatti’s request to move that case to California, saying that two key witnesses, Daniels’ agent and her publisher, were in New York.
