Court Order
ORD that the respondents, Gordon Myse, Thomas Barland, Michael Brennan, Thomas Cane, Gerald C. Nichol, David Deininger, and Kevin Kennedy, each in their respective official capacities as officers, members, counsel or employee of the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, shall file a responsive memorandum with the clerk of this court by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 11, 2010. A single, joint responsive memorandum on behalf of all of the respondents in their official capacities shall be permitted and is encouraged. The responsive memorandum shall address the petitioners' request for temporary injunctive relief temporarily enjoining the enforcement of Wis. Admin. Code GAB 1.28, including the criteria for granting such temporary injunctive relief, the impact of the fact that other actions regarding this same matter have apparently been filed in federal district court, and any other reasons opposing the granting of temporary injunctive relief to the petitioners. A separate order will be issued at a future date establishing a deadline for the respondents to file a response concerning whether the court should grant the petitioners' petition for leave to commence an original action.
FRO that by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 11, 2010, the petitioners shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing only the impact of the fact that other actions regarding this same matter have apparently been filed in federal district court on the petitioners' request for temporary injunctive relief.
