The trial is currently set to begin April 18.MacGyver is an American action- adventure television series created by Lee David Zlotoff and starring Richard Dean Anderson as the title character. “CBS has not shown that there are no triable issues of material fact,” Duffy-Lewis finds, adding that plaintiffs have presented “sufficient evidence to show that there are triable issues of material facts as to whether there was a contract and whether there was a meeting of the minds.” She took the matter under submission following a morning hearing, but issued a ruling later in the day. County Superior Court judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis on Tuesday denied CBS’ motion.
