US Judge Lisette M. Reid rejected Cuban's request to split testimony into two sessions and ordered full testimony to take place on Feb 2 in Dallas, Texas.

In addition to it, Judge Reid stated three plaintiffs to appear for in-person depositions this month.

The lawsuit accused Cuban of misrepresenting the firm on numerous occasions.
