Les Miles moves lawsuit vs. LSU to state court
Les Miles has moved his lawsuit against LSU and the NCAA over a decision to vacate 37 of his teams' victories from 2012 to 2015 from federal court to state court.
Les Miles moves LSU lawsuit from federal to state court
Former football coach Les Miles' lawsuit against LSU and the NCAA over a decision to vacate 37 of his teams' victories from 2012 to 2015 has been moved from federal court to state court.Miles initially sued in June in U.S. District Court in Baton Rouge. He alleged that LSU never gave him a chance to be heard before altering his career record significantly enough to disqualify him from consideration for the National Football Foundation's College Football Hall of Fame. The foundation is also a defendant in the lawsuit.
No reason was given for Miles' decision to dismiss the federal suit and sue in state court, also in Baton Rouge. Miles' lawyer declined to comment.
The state lawsuit, filed Sept. 9, largely tracks allegations made in the federal complaint, which was dismissed Sept. 30 at Miles' request. But the state lawsuit does add a claim that the defendants violated the state constitution.
In documents in the federal case, the defendant organizations say Miles cannot sue because he did not have a "property right" to the LSU victories or in Hall of Fame eligibility.
