March 23, 2026: Plaintiffs File Reply Brief in Support of Petition for Extraordinary Relief

The plaintiffs filed a reply brief responding to the State’s opposition and arguing that the Court should intervene because there is no other plain, speedy, or adequate remedy available, that the transfer of the case to a three-judge panel is based on laws that do not apply and are unconstitutional, and that the case should be returned to the original judge for adjudication.  

The brief also responds directly to the State’s arguments by asserting that the panel lacks authority to decide any issue, that the legislative changes do not resolve the constitutional problems, and that applying the new transfer system to this case violates due process.
