ESPN has the NFL's opening brief appealing the preliminary injunction against the lockout and the document (with David Boies and Paul Clement on the brief) makes a persuasive case that the district court had no legal authority to enjoin the lockout. I hadn't heard anything about the Norris-LaGuardia Act in the press coverage to date. Oral argument is scheduled for June 3.
