The 41-page brief states that the decision by U.S. District Court judge Susan Richard Nelson to enjoin the lockout was illegal and that the appellate court should uphold its ruling to grant a stay on the league's decision to lock out the players as they negotiate a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. In the brief, the league's lawyers argue that the players' disagreements with the owners are not a legal issue, but rather a labor one. The two sides are due in the St. Louis courthouse on June 3 for a hearing on whether to keep the lockout in place.
