ORDER-BRIEF SCHED (JOINT RESOLUTION)

"TO VIEW THE ORDER IN ITS ENTIRETY, SEE http://www.floridasupremecourt.org/pub_info/redistricting2012/index.shtml" -
In accordance with the provision that the Supreme Court of Florida "shall permit adversary interests to present their views," art. III, §16(c), Fla. Const., the Court will accept written submissions expressing views regarding this question. The Court will also hear oral arguments by such number of persons as the Court shall deem appropriate to present the issue fully. An order setting the date and time of oral argument and who will be allowed to participate in oral argument will be issued at a later date. Submissions in this case must be filed with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Florida no later than noon on the seventh day after the date the Attorney General petitions this Court for a declaratory judgment. The provisions of Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.420(f) regarding computation of time for a period of time less than seven days are suspended. The Attorney General is authorized to file her views, if any, at a time separate from the filing of the petition for declaratory judgment, but no later than the time provided for other submissions. Submissions shall be in the form of briefs or comments and may include alternative plans. The Court will not accept alternative plans submitted separately from briefs or comments. Briefs must be in compliance with Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.210 (except as otherwise suspended by this order). All submissions that satisfy the above requirements will be considered "official filings" and will be posted on the Supreme Court's website. The address of the webpage is: http://www.floridasupremecourt.org/pub_info/redistricting2012/index.shtml.
All compliant submissions will also be posted on the Clerk's Office portion of the Court's website at http://www.floridasupremecourt.org/clerk/index.shtml. Submissions shall be filed only with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of Florida. Submissions or communications (e.g., comments, letters, resolutions by governmental entities, etc.) will not be considered by the Court or be filed in the official Court file unless such submissions or communications meet the filing requirements of this order. No e-mails will be accepted or considered by the Court. No submissions or communications shall be directed to any Justice. See Canon 3B(7), Code of Judicial Conduct ("A judge shall not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications, or consider other communications made to the judge outside the presence of the parties concerning a pending or impending proceeding...."). Further, only those who submit filings that comport with this order will be considered parties in this case. The Clerk's office will keep a daily revised service list, which will be posted on the Court's website. After the Legislature adopts a joint resolution of apportionment, those who intend to file an official filing with the Court shall, as soon as possible, file a notice of appearance with the Clerk to permit the Clerk to update the service list. Copies of all official filings must be served on all parties that appear on the service list on the date of the filing. The certificate of service must also separately include a certification that the service was made to all parties appearing on the most recently revised service list existing at that time. The Attorney General need not serve parties on the service list (if any) when the petition for declaratory judgment is filed with this Court.
