Anaheim's court challenge to Angels' name is postponed until Sept. 11
The two sides were scheduled to return to court on Friday. The city is fighting the team's 2005 move that added Los Angeles to its name.
The Angels might not find out until December whether the courts will let them keep Los Angeles in their name.
The Angels and the city of Anaheim had been scheduled to return to court on Friday, for the latest and perhaps last round in the city's challenge to the team's 2005 name change. However, the hearing has been postponed to Sept. 11.
The state appellate court did not provide a reason for the delay, although neither the Angels nor the city requested it. The court's website said the judges requested the delay "for good cause."
After a hearing, the court has 90 days in which to issue a ruling. If the hearing takes place Sept. 11, the court would have to rule by Dec. 10.
