A New Orleans judge said Monday that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and three referees from the infamous “no-call" NFC championship game should answer questions about the game under oath in September.

Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Nicole Sheppard scheduled the depositions for Goodell and the refs during a Monday status conference.

The judge also said the depositions should take place in New Orleans.

The scheduling conference took place days after a Louisiana 4th Circuit Court of Appeal panel unanimously upheld Sheppard’s decision to allow a lawsuit filed by Saints superfan Tony LeMon against the NFL to proceed.

LeMon and his co-plaintiffs were among many fans who filed suits after the Saints game against the Los Angeles Rams in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in January, when officials failed to call blatant pass interference by Rams defender Nickell Robey-Coleman.

The “no call” denied the Saints a likely touchdown and set the stage for the Rams to advance to the Super Bowl.

Legal observers gave most of the lawsuits against Goodell and the league little chance of success. One challenge was thrown out in federal court. But LeMon crafted his suit with the aim of keeping it in state court.

+7 Roger Goodell a step closer to sworn answers in Saints fans' 'no-call' lawsuit thanks to court ruling An appellate court decision on Wednesday has put National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell a little bit closer to having to respond …

With the depositions in hand, LeMon and his co-plaintiffs will be able to continue to press their case against the league ahead of a potential trial.

However, the NFL still has weeks to mount an appeal to the Louisiana Supreme Court seeking to have the lawsuit dismissed altogether. If that succeeds, Goodell's deposition would never take place.
