LIT UPDATE
Order in 11 February, 2021 from the Fifth Circuit: Motion denied as moot. The Court printed the Reply Brief.
LIT COMMENTARY
A response from the Fifth Circuit on motions such as these are historically turned around within 24-72 hrs, if not same day.
Here, the motion has been percolating for 11 days and we summize it may percolate all the way to the issuance of the opinion of the Court.
Why? Because the courts request for paper copies during a pandemic and based on current fatalities and surge in new cases of covid, is really a main argument as to why the case on appeal should not have been dismissed by Judge Hittner either.
In other words, the court has put itself in a similar scenario, and that doesn’t look good, on any level. However, courts rarely wish to accept they are wrong, so they will wait until they can discard the motion as “moot” or similar.
