Icahn Opposes Lions Gate Effort to Continue Suit
This article is for subscribers only.
Carl Icahn asked a judge a second time to dismiss a lawsuit by Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., saying the studio’s claims that he tried to interfere with its plans became moot when his tender offer for the company expired.
Icahn, chairman of Icahn Enterprises LP in New York, didn’t violate any law by not disclosing “tentative or inchoate plans” he might have had about merging the Vancouver-based studio and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., he said yesterday in a filing in U.S. District Court in New York.
