Oakley Wins Appeal to Pursue Lawsuit Against MSG and Dolan

Charles Oakley's lawsuit against MSG and James Dolan over his 2017 ejection from the arena will proceed after a federal appeals court panel overturned a district judge's dismissal of the case.
The panel's ruling does not conclude Oakley is correct, only that he should have an opportunity to argue the case to a jury.
The court of appeals revived Oakley's lawsuit against Madison Square Garden and James Dolan for the second time.
Oakley claims MSG security used excessive force in removing him from the arena during a Knicks game in 2017 after allegedly heckling Dolan.
MSG Sports expects the case to be dismissed for the third time, while Oakley's lawyer wants to hold MSG and Dolan accountable for their actions.
