The latest step in what we've warned will be a long journey of appeals in the FSU v. ACC lawsuit, the Florida Supreme Court confirmed it had declined to “accept jurisdiction” and that the ACC’s petition for review was denied, which means Florida State’s lawsuit will proceed in the Leon County Circuit Court as well as in North Carolina.
The ACC has been asking the courts to pause Florida State’s lawsuit in Florida in favor of the conference’s complaint against FSU and Clemson in the state of North Carolina.
Last summer, Circuit Court Judge John C. Cooper ruled against the ACC on this matter. Then, as expected, the ACC appealed to the District Court of Appeal, which upheld Cooper's ruling in November. And as expected, the ACC appealed to the Florida Supreme Court which upheld the lower courts rulings.
And the snail inches forward.
