Baseball Lawyers Seek Federal Handling of Rose Case
Lawyers for Pete Rose seek to move his lawsuit against A. Bartlett Giamatti from Ohio courts to federal court claiming commissioner powers have long been reviewed there. Federal judges accepted slightly cautious footing, but may remand to state court if jurisdiction fails. Rose’s attorney plans to file to return the case to state court, arguing lack of merit for federal treatment. Louis Haynes Jr. maintains federal court is proper for issues involving the commissioner’s powers. Katz counters that remand is expected and appropriate.
