Arizona judge rejects block of license policy for Dreamers during appeal
 
Here we go again. I wonder how long we'd have to wait for everything to be "finalized"...:cry:

Quote:

PHOENIX -- A judge has rejected a request to block Arizona's policy of denying driver's licenses to some young immigrants while Gov. Jan Brewer asks an appeals court to reconsider a ruling that she can't deny driving privileges to the immigrants.

U.S. District Judge David Campbell said the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling that ordered him to issue a preliminary injunction blocking Brewer's policy isn't yet final because the governor is asking the appeals court to reconsider its July 7 decision.

The challenge to Brewer's policy was filed on behalf of young immigrants who have gotten work permits and avoided deportation under an Obama administration policy.

Brewer issued an executive order directing state agencies to deny licenses and other public benefits to young immigrants who get work authorization under the program.

This judge does not seem to be on our side. Here's a link to the page that the Ninth Circuit created in response to the level of interest in the case http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/content/..._id=0000000747

And here is the process for an en banc review at the Ninth Circuit:
Quote:

What happens in the Ninth Circuit after an en banc petition is filed is
not so simple as filing the petition. Indeed, the court employs an en banc
coordinator specifically to oversee the process. First, the petition is
circulated to all active judges. No vote on the petition is even taken unless
a judge requests one. If, while the petition is circulating, the three-judge
panel on its own grants rehearing, then the petition for rehearing en banc is
deemed rejected without prejudice. If not, any judge may still request that
the three-judge panel make known its recommendation as to granting
rehearing en banc. In addition, because strict internal time limits govern en
banc requests, any judge can “stop the clock” for a period of time to
consider whether to request a vote on the en banc petition. Internal
memoranda may then circulate among the judges. If a vote is taken, it
requires a majority of sitting active judges (there are twenty-seven right
now, so a majority would be fourteen), to grant rehearing en banc.
Couldn't find anything on time though.

One more thing, which is no fun:
Quote:

19. How long does it take to decide a petition for panel rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc?

The Court has no time limit. A decision on a petition for rehearing en banc

may take a few months.

Thanks for the info. I read up on Judge's Campbell's biography and it seems like he was appointed by Bush in 2003....likely republican....so yeah, you're probably right about him not being on our side =(
