Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois. Each side limited to 45 minutes. [31] [7310174] [23-1353, 23-1793, 23-1825, 23-1826, 23-1827, 23-1828] (SK) [Entered: 05/12/2023 02:28 PM]
May 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 30 ORDER: Herrera v. Raoul, No. 23-1793, is consolidated with Barnett v. Raoul, Nos. 23-1825 through 23-1828. These appeals will be briefed on the following schedule:Briefs for the governmental parties (whether appellants or appellees) are due June 5, 2023. Briefs for the plaintiffs are due June 19, 2023. Reply briefs, if any, are due June 26, 2023. Motions to extend these dates, or to allow late filings by amici curiae, will not be entertained. One litigant may file only one brief in all five consolidated appeals, and the court encourages multiple litigants on the same side to file joint briefs to the extent possible. These consolidated cases, together with Bevis v. Naperville, No. 23-1353, will be argued the morning of June 29. Argument is set for 90 minutes, with the governmental litigants sharing 45 minutes and the litigants contesting the laws sharing 45 minutes. The court encourages counsel to agree on an allocation that minimizes the number of different lawyers who will present argument. If counsel are unable to agree, they should notify the court, which will allocate time. In the meantime, the statutes remain in effect. This court already has denied a motion for an injunction pending appeal in Bevis. As for the Barnett appeals: based on our review of the parties submissions, the breadth of the litigation, and the differing conclusions reached by different district judges, we conclude that the stay of the district courts order already entered will remain in effect until these appeals have been resolved and the courts mandate has issued.
