LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -Former Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie wants a lawsuit the school filed against him moved to federal court. Court records show Gillispie filed a request Monday to move the case from circuit court to U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Gillispie sued the University of Kentucky Athletics Association in federal court in Dallas on May 27, claiming fraud and breach of contract stemming from his March firing. The university countersued in state court. In court papers, the Texas resident says federal court is the proper venue for several reasons, including that the lawsuits involve parties in more than one state.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.
