Aaron Hernandez is scheduled to face trial in February in a civil suit in which a Florida man charges the former NFL star shot him in the face in 2013, resulting in the loss of his eye.

According to The Boston Globe, the civil suit filed by Alexander Bradley is slated to commence in federal court on Feb. 23. Proceedings are expected to take up to three days to complete.

Already jailed without the possibility of parole in the 2012 execution style killing of Odin Lloyd, the 26-year-old former New England Patriots star is accused of shooting Bradley at the height of an argument while at a Miami nightclub.

Now being held at the Souza-Baranowski maximum security prison, Hernandez is not expected to appear for any of the civil proceedings.

In a recent court filing, his lawyers asked U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen M. Williams to inform jurors that their client "is unable to attend the trial for reasons that the Court has determined are legally sufficient. The fact that Mr. Hernandez is unavailable is not evidence."

It's unknown if Bradley will be on hand for the proceedings, though court records indicate that jurors will be provided with a deposition of his testimony. He too is currently behind bars in Connecticut, awaiting trial on unrelated gun, burglary and assault charges.

Hernandez also faces trial on murder charges in the 2012 drive-by shooting deaths of Safiro Furtado and Daniel de Abreu outside a downtown Boston nightclub in 2012. In that case, Bradley has been granted immunity to testify against Hernandez.

Authorities theorize the violence was sparked by one of the men spilling a drink on Hernandez earlier in the evening and failing to apologize. Hernandez has already pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, armed assault with intent to murder, and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon charges.
