Judge delays order that Chicago State University provide documents at center of Nigerian presidential dispute
CHICAGO (CBS) — The international political dispute that placed Chicago State University in the middle of a bitter Nigerian presidential fight hit another roadblock on Thursday.

That order by Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert would have required CSU to submit the documents by the end of Thursday.

That request was granted by Maldonado..
