A Florida judge denied the ACC's motion to stay Florida State's lawsuit against the conference Tuesday, as dueling lawsuits between the two sides continue to move forward.

The decision comes one week after a judge in North Carolina ruled the ACC's lawsuit against Florida State can proceed. Florida State filed an appeal on that ruling Tuesday in Mecklenburg County, N.C. Leon County Judge John C. Cooper heard arguments Tuesday in the case filed by the Florida State Board of Trustees in Tallahassee, Fla. He did not agree with the ACC's assertion that the case in Florida should be temporarily halted while the case in North Carolina moves forward.
