A clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals' 8th Circuit doesn't anticipate a ruling before Monday on whether the lockout will remain in place temporarily while a more-permanent ruling is decided. The 8th Circuit in St. Louis will hear oral arguments June 3 on the NFL's request to put its labor lockout in place until a new deal is worked out. But first, judges Duane Benton, Kermit Bye and Steven Colloton will rule on whether to maintain the temporary stay they issued last Friday, a decision the clerk, Michael Gans, said Friday is not imminent.
