Jonathan Vilma, a linebacker suspended as a result of his participation in the Saints' bounty program, had filed a defamation lawsuit against the commissioner. During the proceedings, Vilma's attorneys requested access to a full range of documents in the NFL's possession. Instead of completely agreeing with the request, Magistrate Knowles found that Goodell needed only provide those documents to the court.^[3]^[4]
