Price Caspino Secures Victory for Coach Ryan Porter

Price Caspino, LP recently announced a monumental legal victory for its clients, Coach Ryan Porter and the Cali-Power 7-on-7 football team. This significant case was concluded in federal court on December 2, 2025, where Judge David O. Carter of the United States District Court for the Central District of California ruled in favor of Coach Porter and the team, denying a request made by former California Power CEO and athlete agent Brian Davis.

Key Developments in the Case

After discovering substantial financial issues within the organization, Ryan Porter and his coaching staff decided to depart from California Power Athletes in September 2025. They subsequently rebranded the program as Cali-Power, which has since become one of the leading 7-on-7 football programs in the nation. The organization has a notable track record of producing top collegiate talent, including Notre Dame quarterback C.J. Carr and Texas A&M linebacker Noah McCale.

Despite being no longer connected to the program, Davis attempted to reclaim ownership of the team's name and its social media accounts. He sought an emergency restraining order and a preliminary injunction to prevent Coach Porter from using the Cali-Power name and to assume control over digital assets affiliated with the team. However, Judge Carter ruled that Davis failed to demonstrate any rightful claim to halt the operations of Cali-Power under its new name.

Ruling Impact

The court's decision guarantees that Cali-Power can continue its operations without any interference, allowing the team and its athletes to pursue training and competitions freely. Mike Caspino, a founding partner of Price Caspino, expressed his satisfaction with the ruling, highlighting its significance for the players and coaches who established the program from the ground up. He emphasized that Cali-Power is inherently about its athletes and coaches, not about athlete agents trying to control it.

The successful litigation was led by Mike Caspino and attorney Michael Weiler, whose combined expertise played a pivotal role in ensuring a comprehensive victory for Coach Porter and Cali-Power. Moving forward, Price Caspino is committed to defending the coaching staff and athletes as the case progresses, emphasizing its dedication to protecting grassroots football development.
