Ohio Attorney General Chief Counsel Bridget Coontz and Justin Herdman, an attorney hired by the city, asked in court filings that U.S. District Judge David Ruiz dismiss the Browns’ case and instead allow the fight to play out over a separate lawsuit that the city filed in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday.

The city has sued the team over the proposed move out of Cleveland to a domed stadium in Brook Park. The lawsuit arises under the Modell Law, which was enacted after the late Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore in 1996.

Cleveland’s fight to keep the Browns from moving from their downtown home into a proposed dome in the suburbs has taken yet another legal turn.
