skylive5 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Ah93...labor-antitrust Hearing sked for this date. And according to the link.... Doty is not part of the process. "An April 6 hearing date has been set in the federal antitrust lawsuit filed by players against the NFL. The players filed a request last week for an injunction that would keep the NFL and the teams from engaging in a lockout, which took effect at midnight Friday. The hearing is scheduled to be in front of U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson in Minnesota. The case first went to Judge Richard Kyle, who recused himself for unspecified reasons. It was reassigned to Judge Patrick Schiltz. On Monday, Schiltz cited a conflict of interest because he represented the NFL in several cases as a private practice attorney. The case then went to Nelson. The case may still be reassigned. The players want the case before Judge David Doty, who has overseen NFL labor matters since the early 1990s."

Whiskey Pimp Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 So if it's now at the 3rd judge and still no Doty, does that mean they would go through every single judge possible before giving it to him to rule on if others kept recusing themselves? Who makes the decision on which judge gets the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJW Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 According to AP the case will NOT be reassigned and will stay with Nelson. She has some experience in NFL player matters as she presided over Dryer v. NFL, a case dealing with compensation owed to former players for unauthorized use of their identities.

That's great but who would she draft #1 overall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
