New York, NY, USA , May 3 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court granted an NFL request on Tuesday to fast-track the league's appeal of an injunction that lifted the owners lockout of players.
A hearing has been set for June 3 in St. Louis according to a report on NFL.com.
At that time both sides in the bitter labor dispute, which has been dubbed a battle between millionaires and billionaires, will have a half-hour to present arguments.
The case will be heard by Judges Kermit Bye, Steven Colloton and William Duane Benton, who will rule on whether to grant a permanent stay of the injunction and allow owners to maintain the lockout.
The NFL's move is just the latest round of tedious legal wrangling between owners and players and follows the league being granted a temporary stay last Friday that put the lockout back in effect.
The lockout was imposed after talks between the league and players over a new collective bargaining agreement broke down on March 11.
