LOUISIANA, (KLFY) — Earlier this morning, a three judge panel on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s previous decision in Louisiana’s State Legislative maps case, Nairne v. Landry.
Shortly after that occurred, a different Fifth Circuit judge who was not on that panel from earlier held the mandate, pausing the panels ruling. So the case is currently paused.
“We strongly disagree with the Fifth Circuit panel’s decision,” said Attorney General Liz Murrill. “We are reviewing our options with a focus on stability in our elections and preserving state and judicial resources while the Supreme Court resolves related issues.”
