06/26/2013 MOTION-DISMISS PARTY (VOLUNTARY) RS League of Women Voters of Florida BY: RS Adam Schachter 647101 FILED AS "NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF LA RAZA AS RESPONDENT"
06/28/2013 ORDER-PARTY DISMISSAL GR Respondent having filed notice of dismissal, it is ordered that the notice is treated as a motion to withdraw as a party, the motion is granted and National Council of La Raza is no longer a party to this case. ***07/01/2013: AMENDED TO ADD CORRECT PARTY FILING MOTION AND SHOW MOTION WAS TREATED AS A MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS A PARTY***
Click to open document 07/11/2013 DISP-DENIED Based on the foregoing, we conclude that the Legislature has not met its burden of demonstrating that it is entitled to either a writ of prohibition or all writs relief because the circuit court has subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate subsequent fact-based challenges to the legislative apportionment plan and because the circuit court's exercise of this jurisdiction will not interfere with the binding judgment rendered by this Court in Apportionment II. Accordingly, we deny the Legislature's petition for extraordinary relief. It is so ordered.
