NEW YORK -- Three federal judges will hear the NFL's appeal of the lifting of New England quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension in "Deflategate" next week.
Arguments before a panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals are scheduled for March 3 in New York City. The judges will decide whether a lower-court judge was correct to negate Brady's suspension over a ball-deflation scandal last year.
The three judges were listed Thursday on the court's website. They are Chief Judge Robert A. Katzmann, Barrington D. Parker and Denny Chin.
According to the court filing, Brady will not be sitting at any of the tables in the courtroom.
