Texas Voter ID En Banc 5th Circuit Argument Week of May 23

Today’s order:

Under Fifth Circuit Local Rule 41.3, the court’s order filed yesterday directing this case be reheard en banc with oral argument vacates the previous opinion and judgment of this court and stays the mandate. Appellants will have until April 8, 2016, to file an en banc brief, with a blue cover, with appellees’ en banc briefs, with a red cover, due in this office not later than May 9, 2016. You will be directed to furnish twenty (20) copies of your en banc brief after the electronic filing is reviewed and processed. The case will be heard during the week of May 23, 2016. Counsel for the parties will receive adequate notice as to the exact date and time for the presentation of the oral argument. Please forward twenty (20) copies of your briefs and record excerpts previously filed, for the use of the en banc court. Appellants do not need to forward additional copies of their redacted brief. As you did previously, we request that all copies be spirally bound. These additional copies are due in the Clerk’s Office by not later than Friday, March 25, 2016.

Here is my post from yesterday analyzing what this all means.
