Alexander Bradley, a Connecticut drug dealer and former friend of Aaron Hernandez, better act fast if he wants to keep his lawsuit against police in Florida alive.

Bradley is suing the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office in federal court in Florida, claiming police violated his privacy rights by providing CNN with photos of him recovering in a West Palm Beach hospital after Hernandez allegedly shot him in the face in February 2013.

The images later aired in a CNN documentary about Hernandez.
