Description

BAUER, Circuit Judge Defendants Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (collectively ""Baltimore"") appeal from two district court orders entered in this interpleader action Plaintiff Indianapolis Colts filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1335 (1948). The Colts, a football team owning a National Football League franchise, filed the action claiming interpleader jurisdiction on the ground that Baltimore and the Capital Improvement Board of Managers of Marion County, Indiana (CIB), operators of the Indianapolis Hoosier Dome, had conflicting claims against the team. The district court in Indiana granted the Colts' request for an order restraining Baltimore from pursuing its condemnation action against the Colts, which was pending in a federal district court in Maryland. Two weeks later, the district court also enjoined Baltimore from pursuing a Maryland state court action against the NFL in which Baltimore hoped to stop the Colts from moving to Indianapolis. Baltimore filed a notice of appeal from the court's two orders on April 19, 1984. On April 23, Baltimore also filed in this court an emergency motion to stay the district court orders and to enjoin the Colts from preparing to play football in Indianapolis pending this appeal. On May 8, this court granted Baltimore's motion for a stay, but denied Baltimore's request for an injunction against the Colts. Indianapolis Colts v. Mayor of Baltimore, 733 F.2d 484 (7th Cir. 1984).
