Ruth Bowman, a spokesperson for the Seattle City Attorney’s office, said Judge Marsha Pechman has called a scheduling conference to bring the two sides together in the court case between the city and the Sonics for a 10 a.m. meeting Tuesday at the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Seattle. Bowman said Pechman may set a trial date during the meeting.
The Sonics are seeking a quick resolution to the issue and request a March 24th trial date, which, if the Sonics were to prevail in court, may allow the team to relocate to Oklahoma City and play games there for the 2008-09 season.
The city has requested an Oct. 27 trial date, arguing that it needs time to fully prepare to argue the case.
If the city’s request for an Oct. 27 date is granted, the Sonics would likely have to play another season in Seattle until the legal dispute is resolved in court.
