LOS ANGELES -- Shortly before the start of a trial to determine whether Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterlings estranged wife can sell the team, his lawyers filed a motion Thursday to move the case to federal court, alleging his medical privacy has been violated. A probate court trial is scheduled to begin Monday to determine whether Sterling is mentally incapacitated and Shelly Sterling can assume control of the family trust that owns the Clippers. She struck a deal in May to sell the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $2 billion after Donald Sterlings racist remarks to a girlfriend were publicized and the NBA moved to oust him as an owner. On Thursday, Donald Sterlings attorneys filed a notice of removal to federal court, saying the airing of his medical information in the probate case violates federal privacy laws. In previous filings, they argued that Donald Sterling submitted to examinations of his mental competence under false pretenses, that there was undue influence in the doctors findings, and that the examination and letters about his capacity were defective and incomplete. Shelly Sterlings attorney, Pierced ODonnell, called the move a "cowardly ploy" and said allegations of federal privacy violations are "preposterous" because Sterling expressly authorized public release of his medical records under the terms of his family trust. "Donald Sterlings 11th-hour attempt to move the probate trial into the federal courts is a desperate act by a desperate man," ODonnell said in a statement. Ballmers attorney, Adam Streisand, also called the move "desperate" and said his side would seek to block it. "We will be filing emergency relief in federal court to undo this last desperate and frivolous attempt to block our trial from going forward Monday," Streisand said in a statement. Donald Sterlings attorney Bobby Samini denied the move was mere gamesmanship, saying "we feel strongly that this important issue should be addressed by the federal court at this time." "While it has become popular to attack Donald Sterling for his regrettable comments, his right to privacy and to the protection of his medical records should not be acceptable collateral damage," Samini said in a statement. It was not immediately clear when a federal judge might rule on the issue, but the trial in state probate court remained scheduled to start Monday morning.

You got to celebrate accomplishments and thats what we did. Its really fun to celebrate with these guys.Yasiel Puig hopped on a bicycle for a ride in the clubhouse after aggressively soaking everyone in sight. Tubs full of melting ice got knocked over, soaking the blue carpet as the misty stench of champagne hung in the humid air.We want to win a world championship but the first step in that is winning your division, said manager Don Mattingly, his brown hair matted.Kershaw tied a career high with his 21st victory and Puig homered to highlight a four-run sixth inning as the Dodgers claimed their second straight division title behind their ace Kershaw (21-3), who has been the catalyst behind their success this season.Awesome, competitor, leader, second baseman Dee Gordon said describing Kershaw.Kershaw didnt pitch lights out a€” getting called for a balk and wild pitch a€” and he committed a throwing error in the seventh but he did a little bit of everything, including hitting and fielding to ensure the Dodgers celebrated in front of their longtime rivals.He probably wasnt at his best, but him at 80 per cent is pretty good, Giants starter Tim Hudson said. Its better than most people.Kershaw allowed one run and eight hits in eight innings, struck out 11 and walked none in his last start of the regular season, having won his final seven starts. He is trying to become the first player to lead the major leagues in ERA (1.77) in four consecutive seasons.Hes so tough, what a year hes had, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. Youve got to play perfect ball to beat him and hope you get a timely hit and we didnt do it.Kershaw tied his career high in wins from 2011. The Dodgers are 23-4 in his 27 starts this season.MVP chants directed at Kershaw from the sellout crowd of 53,387 broke out throughout the game, but grew loudest after he retired the side in the eighth, striking out two.Its cool, Kershaw said of the chants. These fans obviously want a World Series.Juan Uribe went 2 for 4 and drove in three runs, and Carl Crawford was 2 for 2 with three runs scored and two RBI for Los Angeles.The Dodgers snapped a 1-1 tie in the sixth, with Puig hitting a leadoff homer off Hudson (9-13) to get things started. Crawfords two-run double off Javier Lopez made it 4-1 and Uribe foollowed with a RBI single off Jean Machi for a 5-1 lead.ddddddddddddPuig showed off his arm in the top of the seventh. Pinch-hitter Matt Duffy singled to centre, where Puig grabbed the ball, spun around and fired to third, nailing Gregor Blanco as he slid in.The Dodgers tacked on four more runs in the eighth, when Giants pitchers walked four batters and hit another.The loss again kept the Giants from clinching a playoff berth.Hudson gave up three runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings, struck out four and walked one.Kershaw tied the game 1-1 with his first career triple in the fifth, scoring Crawford, who got hit in the left foot by a pitch and then stole second. Kershaw chugged into third base standing up.It was tiring, Kershaw said of his triple. I dont want to do that again. Itll take a double.The Giants led 1-0 when Hunter Pence grounded into a fielders choice along the third base line in the third. Joaquin Arias scored from third, narrowly beating the throw from Uribe.Kershaw had a bit of a messy third, when he allowed four baserunners, his most of any inning. With runners on first and second he was called for a balk, allowing the runners to move up. Kershaw showed quick reflexes facing his next batter. Hudson hit a comebacker and Kershaw, down on his right knee with his back toward the plate, reached around, backhanded the ball and threw to first for the out.Kershaw gave up a pair of two-out singles in the sixth and the runners moved up on his wild pitch. He induced a groundout to the mound from Chris Dominguez to end the inning.KERSHAWS MARKSThe left-hander notched the franchises second-best single-season winning percentage (.875) behind Preacher Roes .880 mark in 1951, when he was 22-3.PANDA ENDS SLUMPGiants third baseman Pablo Sandoval broke out of a 2 for 26 slump, going 2 for 4.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: C Buster Posey started at first base.
