Former Microsoft[3] Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer[4]‘s bid to buy the Los Angeles Clippers[5] may be delayed by co-owner Donald Sterling[6] and his lawyers.
Bloomberg reports[7] Donald Sterling[8] wants to move his wife Shelly Sterling[9]‘s court case from state court to federal court, which could mean the sale of the team to Ballmer may be delayed past July 15.
Shelly Sterling[10]‘s state court case would allow her to sell the team without a hearing to Ballmer. Donald Sterling[11] and his lawyers want to move the case to federal court, which would delay the sale.
Donald Sterling[12]‘s lawyers also claim that a doctors’ exam of their patient, which determined that Donald Sterling[13] wasn’t competent to serve as a co-trustee of the team, was made “under false pretenses,” and their client wasn’t “well rested” and hadn’t “eaten properly” prior to the doctors’ exam.
