Tom Brady files petition for suspension case rehearing

Tom Brady's lawyers filed a petition Monday for a rehearing of his suspension case against the NFL before the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York.

According to the filing, Brady's legal team, led by former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson, petitioned for a rehearing en banc -- a request for all of the active judges on the second circuit to rehear the case. The request was formally filed Monday afternoon.

"The facts here are so drastic, and so apparent, that the court should rehear it," Olson told ABC News in an interview that aired Monday morning.
