Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
U.S. District Court Judge Marsha Pechman has denied the Sonic's motion to include the determination of its financial obligations should it win at trial against the City of Seattle, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is reporting.
The decision means the trial remains scheduled for a June 16 start. Should the city lose on the specific performance question in that case, a second trial would likely be needed to determine the amount of money the Sonics would need to pay in order to satisfy their rent obligations and be free to move to Oklahoma City.
That second trial wouldn't preclude the team from moving by next season, but the city could appeal that decision and seek a stay pending the appeal that would prohibit the move until the case is resolved. [READ]
