Our suit was filed on September 3rd. The state just responded this week with a 3 page Motion to Dismiss and a 27 page brief, making some illogical arguments that we should be able to rebut and overcome. The Story Law Firm is crafting a response on our behalf and will be filing it very soon. In that response, we will request an immediate hearing. While the court ultimately determines the hearing date, the emergency nature of our suit should get us a quick hearing.
The state’s answer is posted below. We will also post our brief as soon as it is completed. If you feel so inclined, you may now contribute to the legal effort. (Note: do NOT contribute if this will keep your family from eating.) While we are working for all of you to free the entire state, if you feel that you have a case yourself and want to give advice or direction, please hire your own lawyer and file your own case. We highly encourage multiple lawsuits. Unfortunately, when too many people get involved in decision-making, it slows the entire process.
Contributions made in support of this important litigation, though brought on your behalf, do not make you a party to this action. While we will make our best effort to keep you apprised of the process, we may not be able to personally communicate with each of you regarding the case status.
