Aaron Hernandez's attorneys are requesting that a federal judge in Florida throw out a pending civil suit against the now jailed former New England Patriot star, alleging that he shot a onetime associate in the face in the Miami area more than two years ago.

According to The Boston Globe, in a motion filed late last week, Hernandez's high-powered team of attorneys told the judge the suit filed by Alexander Bradley should be dismissed because he has steadfastly refused to provide information about his lengthy criminal history to Hernandez's legal team as part of their pretrial discovery machinations.

As of late Friday, attorneys for Bradley had not responded to the motion. Bradley contends that Hernandez shot him in the face at the height of a dispute outside a Miami strip club.

The 25-year-old Hernandez is now serving life without the possibility of parole at the Souza-Baranowski maximum security prison following his first-degree murder conviction earlier this year in the 2013 killing of former associate Odin Lloyd.

Hernandez's attorneys are now seeking to have that conviction vacated and recently gained approval from a Bristol County judge to question an unidentified woman under oath who once claimed she had information about a potentially wayward juror.

Reports are the juror was aware of a double-murder indictment against Hernandez that is still pending in Boston. Knowledge of that case would almost certainly have prompted the former NFL star's legal team to have her banned from serving as a juror in the Lloyd case.

Hernandez has also pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and weapons charges in the 2012 Boston shooting, in which Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado were both killed outside a South End night club, after one of them allegedly spilled a drink on Hernandez earlier in the evening and failed to apologize.
