A US judge is considering dismissing NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal and tennis athlete Naomi Osaka from the FTX lawsuit.

[{"selector":"#anim-ac499f74-bfff-42bd-813b-de9de7ab48a6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(95.40709%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b62280aa-9ad0-4e46-a20e-5a89ec8bf5c3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e4bfe1d-bc6e-4c48-b6f9-38fa903c2e2d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore reportedly told the plaintiffs to provide cause on why O'Neal and Osaka shouldn't be dismissed from the suit.

[{"selector":"#anim-d7c491fd-5f2d-45d8-93e1-ee3f62fef5a4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-95.90164%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8272f864-ff24-492c-be9d-4e18ee3653cc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e839473e-e95e-432d-b421-2be2117ee15c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

According to the district judge, it's unclear whether Shaq and Osaka have been served.

In another order, the US judge reprimanded other celebrity defendants for requesting to push back a scheduled conference without following the proper steps.

Celebrities including Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, Kevin O'Leary, David Ortiz and Trevor Lawrence, asked for a time extension.

The court ordered the plaintiff, not the defendants, to move for an extension of time to hold the scheduling conference.
