The three-judge court itself, of course, may subsequently determine that it should not have been constituted." Merced Rosa v. Herrero, 423 F.2d 591, 593 n.2 (1st Cir. 1970). The parties will have the opportunity to brief and argue all questions before the three-judge court as the court concludes is appropriate. Signed by William H Pryor, Jr on 3/29/2021. (wcl, ) |
