STATEMENT OF PETITION FOR PANEL REHEARING
1. This Petition follows a Summary Order dated April 25, 2016
affirming a Sept. 9, 2015 District Court Order denying my valid right to
intervene in National Football League Management Council v. National
Football League Players 7 Association (15-cv-5916) on common questions
of law and facts. Both this and related Opinion and Order reinstating
Tom Brady's arbitral award on reversal of judgment are effectively void.
2. Per Fed.R.App.Pr. 35(b)(l)(A), the panel decisions of Apr. 25,
2016 (Dkt#238,244) conflict with decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court,
thus, consideration by the full Court is necessary to secure uniformity.
3. Per Fed.R.App.Pr. 35(b)(l)(B), Apr. 25, 2016 panel decisions
are inconsistent with this Court's prior cases, deviating on issues of
arbitration, reasonable accommodation and Fed.R.Civ.Pr. 60. Thus,
consideration to rehear by a panel is necessary ensure valid precedent.
STATEMENT OF PETITION FOR REHEARING EN BANC
4. Per Fed.R.App.Pr. 35(b)(l)(B), panel decisions of Feb. 26,
2016 in 15-3228(Dkt#l18) conflict with prudent decisions of this Court,
thus, consideration by a full Court is necessary to secure and maintain
uniformity here and its district courts and to guide other district courts.
1
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page3 of 21
5. Per Fed.R.App.Pr. 35(b)(l)(A) , panel decisions of Apr.25,
2016 in 15-3228 (Dkt#l 18) conflict with U.S. Supreme Court precedent,
offering full Court consideration to avoid Supremacy Clause violations.
6. Per Fed.R.App.Pr.35(b)(l)(B) exceptional circumstances exist
as my surviving many diagnosis of disease and qualifying to the 1984
U.S. National Gymnastics Team and Olympic Trials is likely highly
statistically remote over Mr. Brady's record yet not without due respect.
7. Exceptional circumstances exist to consider by the full Court
who, after reading submissions, may not concur with Opinion (Dkt#236)
that seemingly permits 'fraud on the court' as a healthy state of affairs.
8. A Petition for Rehearing En Banc is respectfully requested
and favored as one Justice appears conflicted and may be uninformed of
disability laws based on dismissal for jurisdiction issues in 15-2975.
9. I incorporate by reference Brief (Dkt#l20), Special Appendix
(Dkt#121), Reply Brief (Dkt#l 71), injunctive relief filings (Dkt#186),
motion to reconsider Orders en bane (Dkt#210) and open mot ions.
QUESTIONS for PANEL REHEARING and REHEARING EN BANC
10. Is Summary Order valid, reflecting full record and compliant
to rules? Is it a duty breach to flip-flop prose party to avoid mediation?
2
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page4 of 21
11. Did a panel's Apr. 25, 2016 Summary Order affirming denial
of my right to intervene misapply Fed.R.App.Pr. 60? If so, is the Court
passively permitting fraud to burden taxpayers/shareholders like me?
12. Are such Orders prejudiced by denying me argument time,
inadvertently spitting on prose rights per the U.S. Constitution? If so,
was decision made by panel or someone lacking knowledge or authority?
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
13. I incorporate by reference pleadings in U.S. District Court
with letters in case 15-5916 and 15-5982 filed Aug. 1 7, 2015 on integrity
of Court procedures and Fed.R.Civ.Pr. 60 (JA14,JA22) and a pre-motion
letter to intervene on Aug. 25, 2015, with no opposition (JA10,JA18).
14. I incorporate 15-2801 filings: Statement of Case (Dkt#120),
Procedural Tactics ~11-28 (Dkt#l 71), Factual & Procedural Background
~1-23 (Dkt#186) and Motion to Reconsider Memo of Law ~3-11 (#210).
15. A Motion to Intervene, Affidavit and Memo of Law was filed
Sept. 8, 2015 (JA11)(MSA12) citing Supreme Court precedent and proof
of NFL's negative equity of three-quarters of a billion dollars, with this
Court notified per Fed.R.Civ.Pr.60 (Dkt#19,20). A Sept. 9, 2015 Order
3
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page5 of 21
(JA15)(Dkt#90)(MSA1 7) denied relief, with a Motion to Reconsider
submitted Sept. 28, 2015 to Pro Se Office not docketed (MSA1)(MSA29).
16. 15-2801 caption added me as party on entry of appeal (JA15)
(MSA19) and with notice given by Hon. Katzmann and Clerk (Dkt#55).
17. My Brief and Special Appendix (MSA) were entered only in
15-2801 (Dkt#120,121), while NFLMC's Brief, Special Appendix and
Reply (Dkt#9, 70) and NFLPA's Answering Brief (Dkt#63) are entered.
18. Proof of service on Member Clubs ~17 items was not entered.
19. My Reply Brief noted Fed.R.Civ.Pr.60 gives good cause for
prospective injunctive relief from Commissioner acts (15-2801;#171),
with motion for declaratory and injunctive relief unopposed (Dkt#166).
20. On Dec. 4, 2015, I moved to incorporate 15-2801 Appendices
(Dkt#60). Pending motions seek relief to: i) strike pro hac vice motion
(#153); ii) deny oral argument (Dkt#152); iii) deny leave to file amicus
brief and remove party (Dkt#156); iv) file within time (Dkt#163); v)
strike Bancroft appearance (Dkt#151); vi) seek third party injunctive
relief (Dkt#164) and vii) strike Gibson Dunn appearance (Dkt#154,179).
21. The Clerk's Office failed to give equal notice of argument by
mail. Staff had no knowledge of decision maker, basis or date (Dk#185)
4
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page6 of 21
22. Efforts to comply with Fed.R.App.Pr. 35 to appear in Court
were futile despite i) expedited motion to reconsider (Dkt#210) Feb. 23,
2016 Orders denying argument time and accommodation (Dkt#92,93)
(Dkt#201,202); ii) Mar. 1, 2016 letter after parties' requests (Dkt#94,95)
(Dkt#203,205) and iii) Clerk's claim it was not possible to reserve a seat.
23. Mar. 3, 2016 argument was held only in 15-2801. I witnessed
and was subject to inexplicable, disappointing procedural improprieties.
24. I did not answer unsolicited mail from New York Law School
(Dkt227)(unopened) or letter from Bancroft PLLC in reply (Dkt#229).
25. Apr. 25, 2016 Summary Order in 15-3228(Con) affirms Hons.
Katzmann, Parker and Chin decided I cannot intervene (Dkt#l 18).
26. Apr. 25, 2016's Opinion (Dkt#236) reverses a Sept. 3, 2016
district court Order in "15-5916, 15-1982", vacating an arbitral award
and directing a Clerk of Court to amend caption, removing my name.
27. April 25, 2016 Opinion dissent (Dkt#237) by the Chief Judge
affirms a Sept. 3, 2016 arbitral award and states no change to caption.
KEY FACTS TO HIGHLIGHT
28. The C&B of Feb. 1, 1970 (rev. 2006), Article VIII, §8.2 states:
"[t]he Commissioner shall have no financial interest, direct or indirect,
5
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page7 of 21
in any professional sport" (JA357). Since Aug. 8, 2006, Roger Goodell
claims to be Commissioner of a 503(c) trade association for professional
football, with total compensation over one-hundred fifty million dollars.
29. The NFLMC, as first-to-file in district court to affirm Mr.
Brady's arbitration award, failed-to-file the entirety of the Aug. 4, 2011
CBA or NFL Constitution and Bylaws allegedly signed in 2011 ("C&B").
30. Mr. Brady's arbitration award suspended his play and pay
for the first four games of 2015's regular season only (JA329-JA330).
31. I incorporate by reference my Briefs Statement of Facts (15-
280l;Dkt#120) and Reply Briefs Statement of Case Undisputed by
Parties (Dkt#l 71). Support for controversies is found in MSAl,20,23-38.
PARTIES
32. I incorporate by reference parties so named in Brief if8-17
(15-2801;#120) and Memo of Law for injunctive relief if 24-27 (Dkt#186).
33. Theodore Olson filed notice to appear Apr. 29, 2016 for NFL
Players Association, on behalf of it and Mr. Brady in 15-2801 (Dkt#24 7).
34. Mr. Olson was added as Tom Brady counsel in 15-2801 (Dkt
#249) within twenty-three minutes of if36 and NFLPA in 15-2801 and
15-2805 two minutes later (Dkt#248), despite no Certificate of Service.

Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page8 of 21
STATUTES & LAWS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY FOR RELIEF
35. Relief from alleged fraud-on-the-court is available per Fed.R.
Civ.Pr.60(b)(3) for misrepresentation and for a final judgment, order or
proceeding; 60(b)(4) for a void judgment and 60(b)(6) for other basis,
with powers not limited to grant relief per 60(d) for independent action.
36. The U.S. Constitution, Sess.I, Ch.20,§35 states prose rights
"in all courts" are where "the parties may plead and manage their own
causes personally" ahead of "attorneys-at-law" who "shall be permitted'~
37. Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101, et. seq.
38. Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement
Act imposes penalties per day if continuing [Title IX §951(b)(l),(b)(2)].
39. Summary Orders per Local Rule 32.1.1 and IOP 32.1.1 infer
no jurisprudential basis to issue opinions yet citing require accuracy.
ARGUMENTS for REHEARING
A. SKILLFUL ERROR IN SUMMARY ORDER AVOIDS MEDIATION
40. The Summary Order1 is void as it: i) fails to specify if Order
affirmed is Sept. 9 (MSAl 7) or Sept. 3, 2015 (MSA18)(P2,L9, 14); ii) uses
I "Summary Order", No. 15·3228 (Con): National Football League Management Council, et.al. v. National Football League Players' Association, et.a/, [CMIECF database : Second Circuit NextGen], Docket 118. No precedential effect. IOP 32.1.1.
7
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page9 of 21
incorrect name (P2,L2, 13); iii) falsely states it applies to No. 15-3228
(Con) rather than 15-3228 (XAP) assigned by Court (Pl,Ll 7); iv) omits
party names for 15-2805 (P2,Ll 1); v) fails to identify the motion denied
(P2,L12); vi) fails to name parties with appeal resolved (P2,L12) and vii)
is not signed nor dated with authentic signature by Judges or the Clerk.
41. ~ 40 was allegedly decided at a stated term held in Court on
April 25, 2016 despite NAC hearings all day and argument before Hons.
Walker, Calabresi and Hall (Chief) per calendar. It is unknown if Hons.
Parker, Chin and Katzmann convened in-person or had minutes taken.
42. Judgment filed Apr. 25, 2015 in 15-2801 (Dkt#246) omits my
name from caption and 15-3228 as related case despite no dismissal and
no judicial Order to remove my name in 15-2801(L), 15-2805(Con) or 15-
3228(Con)[formerly XAP] . A majority Opinion in 15-2801's cover page
has an asterick directing the Clerk to amend wording for Counter
Claimant-Appellee Tom Brady. It is unknown who authorized removal
during valid review period as it does not comport to prior acts (Dkt#55).
43. A District Court within this Circuit verified in Bernard v.
Galen Group, Inc., 901 F.Supp. 778 (1995) its Mediation Program was
established in 1992 as part of the Court's Civil Justica Expense and
8
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page10 of 21
Delay Reduction Plan adopted in Dec. 1991 where members of the bar
serve pro bono as a service to the Court (Guide, Section V, i-fA(3)) and
are subject to confidentiality provisions per Guide, Section V, i15):
"Discussions at mediation should be confidential and not reported, recorded, placed in evidence, made known to the assigned judge, or construed for any purpose as an admission. No party should be bound by anything done or said at mediation conferences unless a settlement is reached." Id 779.
That case highlights this Court's emphasis on confidentiality as:
"[it] encourages counsel to discuss matters in an uninhibited fashion .. . if participants cannot rely on the confidential treatment of everything that transpires during these sessions then counsel of necessity will feel constrained to conduct themselves in a cautious, tight-lipped, non-committal manner more suitable to poker players in a high-stakes games than to adversaries attempting to arrive at a just resolution of a civil dispute".
Lake Utopia Paper Ltd. v. Connellv Containers. Inc. 608 F.2d
928,930 (2d Cir.1979) cert den., 444 U.S. 1076, 100 S.Ct. 1023 62 L.Ed.
758 (1980). Id 784. In case 15-2801 where I was named party, it appears
prose rights were flip-flopped to meet others' fancy, and to deny relief.
44. 15-2801 parties evaded review by a Civil Appeals Mediation
Program (CAMP) as this civil case had a pro se party. No preliminary
conference was held after NFLMC filed its Form C (Dkt#22). If I am
removed, parties are returned ab initio for Court referral to mediation,
with notice to Mr. Brady and Mr. Goodell if they wish to attend CAMP.

Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page11 of 21
B. BASIS TO DENY RELIEF LACKS FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT
45. The Summary Order and Judgment affirming denial of my
motion to intervene was entered simultaneously in 15-3228 (Dkt#l 18)
and 15-2801 (Dkt#238) yet after Opinions filed in 15-2801 (Dkt#236-7).
46. ~ 45 alleges due consideration for Order (P2,L8), inferring my
filings were read impartially by assigned Judges, which is unclear as
15-3228's docket omits filings I reported to a Case Manager. I object to
claim that I "failed to identify any adequate legal basis" to intervene as
i) false and contrary to majority Opinion, Ftn. 1 [p.5] stating I asserted
Fed.R.Civ.Pr. 60 and ii) inserts a materiality test not found in the Rule.
4 7. This Court apparently overlooked citations and statutes of
relevance that merit panel rehearing or, preferably, rehearing en bane.
My Brief had no less than ten (10) Supreme Court cases cited and seven
federal statutes. My Reply Brief contained no less than four (4) citations
to Supreme Court cases, five (5) citations to this Court and three
statutes. My Memo of Law for injunctive and declaratory relief cited no
less than eight (8) Supreme Court cases and five (5) of this Court. Such
cases include Liljeberg v. Health Services Acquisition Corp. , 486 U.S.
84 7 (1988)[Reply Brief,p.10,Dkt#l 71] and Clarett v. National Football
10
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page12 of 21
League, 369 F.3d 124 (2004) for this Court [Memo of Law,Dkt#186), all
of which I incorporate by reference herein for purpose of this Petition.
48. In Liljeberg, the highest court stated "[Fed.R.Civ.Pr.l
60(b)(6) ... grants federal courts broad authority to relieve a party from a
final judgment "upon such terms as are just" provided that the motion
is made within a reasonable time and is not premised on one of the
grounds for relief enumerated in clauses (b)(l) through (b)(5)", Id 864.
Courts have authority "adequate to enable them to vacate judgments
whenever such action is appropriate to accomplish justice", Klapprott v.
US. , 335 U.S. 601,614-15 (1949) , cautioning it should only be applied in
"extraordinary circumstances", Ackermann v. US. , 340 U.S. 193 (1950).
Id 865. NFL's looming financial crises gives compelling circumstances
for rehearing so its costs are not imposed on taxpayers like me.
49. In Ottawa Office Integration, Inc. v. FTF Business S vstems,
Inc., 132 F.Supp. 2d 215 (2001) , an action to confirm an arbitration
award per 9 U.S.C. §9 of the Federal Arbitration Act was initially
referred to the Southern District of New York court-annexed mediation
office. That case states the FAA, §10(a)(3) sets grounds for vacatur
"where the arbitrator [was] guilty of misconduct .. .in refusing to hear
11
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page13 of 21
evidence pertinent and material to the controversy", citing the Supreme
Court's view "[m]isconduct typically arises where there is proof of either
bad faith or gross error on the part of the arbitrator". Agarwal v.
Agarwal, 775 F.Supp.588,589 (SDNY 199l)(citing United Paperworkers
Int'l. v. Misco. Inc.,484 U.S. 29,40, 108 S.Ct. 364, 98 L.Ed.2d 286 (1987).
Id 220. The NFPLA has cited Silverman v. Major League Baseball
Plaver Relations Comm.. Inc. 67 F.3d 1054, 1062 (2d Cir.1995) as
affecting all football players, as professional athletes need greater
protection for injunctive relief for their "short careers", Id 1062,. Here,
Mr. Brady was not served subpoena as required prior to appeal hearing.
50. This Court opined in National Broadcasting Co .. Inc. v. Bear
Stearns & Co. Inc. , 165 F.3d 184, 186 (1999), that "[f]ederal courts do
not superintend arbitration proceedings. Our review is restricted to
determining whether the procedure was fundamentally unfair". Id 220.
Thus, a valid, material question of valid Commissioner authority and
independence flows in all arbitral decisions per CBA (MSA23-MSA37).
C. INEQUITABLE ARGUMENT TIME VIOLATES CONSTITUTION
51 . I incorporate by reference motion to reconsider denied relief
for argument time and ADA reasonable accommodations (Dkt# 210) .
12
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page14 of 21
52. This Court reversed and remanded to district court on ADA
claims in Weixel v. The Board of Education of the Citv of New York, 287
F.3d 138 (2002) as "[the] amended complaint was replete with
allegations of retaliatory conduct ... [on] attempts to obtain reasonable
accommodation of [child's] disability", Id 149, stating "whether an
individual has a disability for purposes of the ADA and Section 504, we
applied the three-step approach taken by the Supreme Court in
Bragdon v. Abbott'~ 524 U.S. 624, 118 S.Ct. 2196, 141 L.Ed. 2d 540
(1998). This supports en bane review as Order (Dkt#202) denying my
motion for ADA accommodation prior to argument (Dkt#l 95) conflicts
with this Court's diligence citing Supreme Court precedent.
53. Permissive intervention per Fed.R.Civ.Pr. 24(b) states "[o]n
timely motion, the court may permit anyone to intervene who ... has a
claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question of
law or fact". In this case, I disclosed equity shares of Bank of America,
Inc., parent of NFL's lender (Brief,p.iii;Dkt#120) where a Commissioner
is vested with powers to assess Member Club. I have vested interest in
know-your-customer as equity shares are deeply subordinated. I rely on
13
Case 15-2801, Document 258, 05/09/2016, 1769313, Page15 of 21
dividends tied to share price impacted by loan performance for stadiums
which falls neatly under nearly reckless power of one (1) Commissioner.
CONCLUSION
54. Based on the foregoing, I respectfully seek panel rehearing
or en bane hearing to reverse the District Court Order denying me relief
for limited intervention. If denied, this Court effectively says no fraud
has percolated in docket filings and ADA and pro se rights are moot.
55. If denied, the Court should thoughtfully consider referral of
all parties, Mr. Goodell and Mr. Brady, to mediation at Court CAMP.
My services are available as independent overseer if the Court desires.

FOR APPELLANT: Michelle L. McGuirk, prose, New York, N.Y.
UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the district court's order is AFFIRMED.
Appellant Michelle McGuirk moved in the district court to intervene in National Football
League Management Council, et al. v. National Football League Players Association, et al., Nos.
15-2801, 15-2805. The motion was denied. The parties' appeal to this Court was resolved in an
opinion filed simultaneously with this summary order. Because McGuirk has failed to identify any
adequate legal basis for her intervention, the district court's order is affirmed.
For the Court: Catherine O'Hagan Wolfe, Clerk
