Suspended NFL star Vick due in bankruptcy court
NORFOLK, Va. — Suspended NFL star Michael Vick is returning to bankruptcy court in Virginia.
A status hearing on Vick’s reorganization plan is scheduled Tuesday in Norfolk.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank Santoro rejected Vick’s plan in April and demanded a more realistic one. Santoro said Vick should sell some of his vehicles and one or both of the expensive homes he wanted to keep. The judge also was concerned that the plan depended largely on Vick’s return to the NFL.
League Commissioner Roger Goodell has not said whether he will lift Vick’s suspension. Vick is serving the last two months of his sentence for bankrolling a dogfighting ring on home confinement. He’s scheduled to be released from federal custody July 20.
(This version CORRECTS Corrects date of release from federal custory to July 20 sted July 21. Will be UPDATED after hearing at 11 a.m. EDT.)
