Court Order

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0600

Status: OCCD
Court: SC
Filing Date: 11-30-2011
Anticipated Due Date:
ORD that the Petitioners shall file a memorandum with the clerk of this court by 12:00 p.m. on December 6, 2011. A single, joint memorandum on behalf of all of the Petetitioners shall be permitted but is not required. The Petitioners shall file an original and twelve copies of their memorandum and any supporting materials.
The petitioners' memo shall address the following issues:
1.Do Wis. Stat. 751.035 and 801.50(4m) apply to an action filed originally in the SC of WI? Is receiving notice under s. 801.50(4m) a condition precedent under Wis. Stat. 751.035 to any obligation of this court to appoint a panel of circuit court judges to hear a matter involving a challenge to apportionment? Inasmuch as the language of Wis. Stat. 751.035 uses the mandatory "shall appoint," does this court have discretion not to appoint a panel under Wis. Stat. 751.035 in the action filed in this court? Does the filing of the summons and complaint in Clinard v. Brennan, Waukesha County Case No. 2011CV3995, affect the petition filed in this court?
2.Should the WI state courts defer from proceeding with the Pet. in this matter in light of the action already pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Baldus v. Brennan, Case No. 11-cv-562 (E.D. Wis.)) or should apportionment matters be heard in state courts despite the presence of a pending federal action on the subject? See, e.g., Growe v. Emison, 507 U.S. 25 (1993); Jensen v. Wisconsin Elections Bd., 2002 WI 13, 249 Wis. 2d 706, 639 N.W.2d 537. What impact if any, does the language of Wis. Stat. 751.035 ("the SC shall appoint"), if it is applicable to the action filed in this court, have on the question whether this court should defer from proceeding on this matter in light of the pending federal action? (PART 1)
