Yesterday the final round of legal papers on California’s new Top Two Primary was filed in an influential federal appeals court.
On March 15, 2012, Plaintiffs Michael Chamness, Daniel Frederick, and Rich Wilson filed their Reply Brief, which you can access here. You can also access a number of background documents here.
Mr. Chamness, Frederick, and Wilson filed their Opening Brief on January 31, 2012. One month later, Attorney General Kamala Harris filed opposition papers on behalf of Secretary of State Debra Bowen.
The U.S. Court of Appeals (Ninth Circuit) has not yet indicated when it will hear this case.
