I have posted the petition, government opposition and reply.

For those who have been following the issue, there’s a question of mootness presented in this petition which is not present in the Shelby County case.  My guess is that Shelby County is granted, and either this case will be granted too, or it will be held for Shelby County.  Having not read the briefs yet, it is hard to say if there are issues here the Court would want in its review of the constitutionality of section 5 of the VRA which are not present just in Shelby County.
