Summary

This case arises from Respondent Lindell Management LLC's ("Lindell LLC") "Prove Mike Wrong Challenge," which related to allegations of fraud in the November 2020 general election. Under the terms of the Challenge, a winner was entitled to a $5 million reward if they were able to successfully "Prove Mike Wrong." Petitioner Robert Zeidman entered the contest and submitted a fifteen-page report. The Challenge judges reviewed Zeidman's report and concluded the Zeidman was not entitled to the $5 million reward.

Consistent with the Challenge's rules, Zeidman submitted an arbitration demand. The arbitration panel ruled in favor of Zeidman, and the Court confirmed the award. See Zeidman v. Lindell Mgmt. LLC, 718 F. Supp. 3d 934 (D. Minn. 2024).

In July 2025, the Eighth Circuit reversed and remanded the case with instructions to either "grant [Lindell LLC's] Motion to Vacate Arbitration Award or for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion." Zeidman v. Lindell Mgmt. LLC, 145 F.4th 820, 828 (8th Cir. 2025). Zeidman has filed a motion requesting that the Court order a rehearing before the original arbitration panel. After careful consideration of the record and the parties' arguments, the Court will vacate the arbitration award, grant Zeidman's motion for rehearing, and order the panel to consider the parties' dispute in light of the vacatur directed by and consistent with the Eighth Circuit's decision in Zeidman, 145 F.4th at 820.
