November 19, 2021 Filing 48 ATTORNEY Appearance for Defendants Don Harmon, Emanuel Christopher Welch by Adam Robert Vaught (Vaught, Adam)
November 17, 2021 Filing 47 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Robert M. Dow, Jr: Defendants' motion for extension of time to file responsive submission #45 is granted in part. As all concerned recognize, this litigation must proceed expeditiously and must conclude in time for the candidates to participate in, and the Board of Elections to administer, a primary election in 2022. The members of the panel (and the assigned Magistrate Judge) have endeavored to fairly balance the parties' needs to develop the facts, expert opinions, and legal briefs with the panel's need to render a reasoned decision in time for any appeals prior to the date by which nominating petitions must be circulated. We do that again today in considering the instant motion. As the Legislative Defendants point out, it is a considerable task to respond to the submissions of three sets of Plaintiffs. At the same time, the extension requested will push Plaintiffs to the cusp of the Thanksgiving holiday when their reply period starts. The panel will provide some relief to each side on these deadlines: Defendants' submissions are now due on 11/24/2021 no later than 2:00pm CST; Plaintiffs' reply submissions are now due on 12/1/2021 no later than 10:00am CST. The panel also advises that any potential trial/hearing will take place in-person in the James B. Parsons Ceremonial Courtroom, on the 25th Floor of the Dirksen Federal Building starting on Tuesday, December 7. Given the December 7 starting date, the parties will now be able to conduct depositions on December 1, 2, 3, and 6 if necessary. The panel will communicate further details about the logistics for the court proceedings during the week of November 29, including the exact starting time and all of the protocols required to ensure social distancing during the pandemic. That communication will also include directions for media and members of the public who may wish to attend the proceedings. This case is set for a telephonic status hearing on Friday, December 3 at 1:30 pm CST. Participants should use the Court's toll-free, call-in number 877-336-1829, passcode is 6963747. When the case is called, please unmute your phone only when it is your turn to speak and please remember to say your name each and every time you speak for the benefit of the Court Reporter and the clarity of the record. This is a Court proceeding. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing by using the same call-in information listed above. Please note the general prohibition against recording and rebroadcasting of Court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court.
