Federal Judges Robert A. Katzmann, Barrington D. Parker and Denny Chin have been appointed to hear the NFL's appeal of an independent arbitrator's decision to overturn the four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
ESPN.com reported Thursday the three judges will hear the appeal March 3 in New York. The panel will decide whether Judge Richard Berman was correct in overturning Brady's four-game suspension regarding the Deflategate scandal. The NFL immediately appealed the Sept. 3 decision.
“We are grateful to Judge Berman for hearing this matter, but respectfully disagree with today’s decision,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement at the time, per NFL.
